Desantis Using Taxpayer Funds to Campaign Against Abortion Referendum [View all]

Ron Desantis has shown he will stop at nothing to get his way.

He threatens to primary Republicans in the legislature when they draw a redistricting map he doesn't like, he revokes Disney's charter because they criticized him, he removes elected prosecutors he doesn't agree with. Now he is resorting to the same tactics to get his way with Florida's abortion referendum (Amendment 4), which is favored by a strong majority of voters.

First, Desantis tried to block to Amendment from even appearing on ballot in the first place by challenging it through the courts. He complained this week bitterly when his all-Republican state Supreme Court approved the amendment:




Then Desantis pushed through a bogus "economic impact" statement to be placed on the ballot next to the Amendment, which reads like a Desantis propaganda memo. You can read about that here:

When all else fails blow the dog whistle.
