Hey Ron DeSantis, Nancy Sinatra called and she wants her look back.
A photo of the toxic male/2024 presidential hopeful wearing jeans tucked into in shiny, knee-high white boots has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
The image was taken while DeSantis was in the Fort Myers Beach area surveying damage from Hurricane Ian, during which he donned campaign-branded clothing and called local residents liars when they expressed frustration over his recovery delays.
“And this is the guy who made it illegal to say gay… And, scene,” actor Ken Olin tweeted yesterday, along with the picture of the anti-LGBTQ governor, who signed Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill (a.k.a. the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) into law last March.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

In addition to the “Don’t Say Gay” law, which makes it illegal for teachers to talk to students about sexual orientation, DeSantis supports businesses being able to discriminate against LGBTQ people and wants to ban trans athletes from competing in sports.

As governor, he has also stripped away funding for LGBTQ youth and anti-bullying programs, denied funding for mental health services to survivors of the Pulse massacre, and voiced support for banning queer books from libraries.

A report released in May 2022 by the reputation-management company Signal AI found he has one of the worst reputations among all 50 Governors in the country for his policies targeting LGBTQ citizens and kids, second only to Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas.
People on Twitter have been having a field day with the photo. Here’s what they’re saying…

Yes! And don’t ya think Randy Rainbow should take it and run with this? I wonder who put him in those horrid boots. Or did he pick them out himself. So many questions.

Like the previous post said, PLEASE Randy Rainbow—go with this!

Too funny!

No fan of Ron DeSantis, but I guess the writers and commenters don’t realize that these boots are the traditional rubber boots worn by shrimpers and other commercial fishermen along the Gulf.
He is trying to appeal to the “common” man and probably is doing a good job at it – unfortunately.

Did you have to go and spoil the party! : ) I should feel fortunate not knowing about those rubber boots and who wears them. Watch, the gay shrimpers will boycott them or paint them in rainbow colours. I know I would.

I hate when republican men keep saying OKAY between every sentence when they are getting all defensive and their rubber booties all in a tangle. Nancy does it here too….in the above link which connects you to the 21 second tweet where Nancy is throwing a hissy fit. While people are getting eaten by alligators…or are they crocodiles.
Anyway, I’d love to see all of these creatures relocated to the Marah Lagu and dumped in the moat that surrounds the POS.

As it’s been pointed out, there isn’t a speck of dust on those boots

Ron woke up to the fact that real governors actually do work for their states.
