No way Dems would do that!!!
Our ruling
TikTok users claimed Florida lawmakers were dancing after passing "anti-trans" bills.
These videos take lawmakers’ line dancing out of context. Some people may be angry that Florida Democrats would dance alongside Republican colleagues at all, given their differences on transgender policies. But the videos leave a misleading impression of how the events unfolded. Lawmakers were not dancing after a particular vote; the dancing happened before the speaker gaveled in the day’s business. The vote on a transgender bathroom bill happened the next day.
We rate this claim Mostly False.
