DeSantis criticizes Biden over ‘inappropriate’ transgender event at White House.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Slams President Biden for Inappropriate Pride Month Event

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t hold back during a press conference on Thursday, criticizing the Biden administration for hosting a “totally inappropriate” far-left Pride month event at the White House. The event made headlines as transgender activists took their tops off, which DeSantis found highly objectionable.

DeSantis also took issue with how the U.S. flag was displayed at the White House during the event. The administration chose to display the far-left pride flag, which promotes transgenderism and the Marxist Black Lives Matter group, in the middle of the White House. DeSantis firmly stated, “That is not how you display the American flag.”

The controversy surrounding the event intensified when a video went viral showing transgender activist Rose Montoya removing his top after meeting President Biden. Montoya, a man who identifies as a woman, covered his bare prosthetic breasts with his hands while being recorded on camera in front of others in attendance.

DeSantis expressed his disapproval, stating, “When you have the inappropriate conduct at the White House with these transgenders flashing people nude and all this stuff, it’s just totally, totally inappropriate.” He further questioned the administration, asking why they would want to introduce such curriculum to a second grader’s classroom if they themselves deemed it inappropriate for the White House.

White House Responds to Backlash

Following significant backlash over the event, the White House claimed that the behavior was “inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House.” A spokesperson emphasized that the behavior did not reflect the purpose of the event, which was to celebrate LGBTQI+ families, and stated that the individuals involved would not be invited to future events.
