DeSantis 18 other GOP states think Biden's environmental stances are woke

DeSantis cracks down on Biden's 'woke' ESG agenda with 18 other GOP states

Ron DeSantis is joining with 18 other red states to fight against corporate virtue-signaling and 'woke-ness', which has come to be known as environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG).

ESG, denounced by DeSantis and other right-leaning politicians, has become a recent Republican buzz word to rail against companies and organizations for using their power in the business and financial world to push an agenda – usually a progressive one.

The 19 governors signed a joint statement declaring: 'Yet again, President Biden put his political agenda above the wellbeing and individual freedoms of hardworking Americans.'

Dubbing themselves as 'freedom loving states', the governors are pledging to use pension funds in their respective states to force corporations to maximize shareholder value instead of pushing 'woke ideology.'

If DeSantis et al had a functioning brain they'd know that ESG stocks have done better than those that don't.
