DeSantis slams LGBT activist at campaign event: ‘Hands off our children!’

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis fires back ⁣at disruptive‌ activist

The Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, ⁣made headlines⁤ after ⁣being interrupted⁢ by a ‍left-wing activist ‍during⁤ a packed event in​ South Carolina. DeSantis, ⁢who is set ‌to become ​the first Republican candidate to file‌ paperwork‍ for the 2024‍ presidential‍ primary‌ in the state, ‍was⁢ speaking to a ‍crowd ‍at the Philip T. Glennon Community Center in ⁢Tega ⁤Cay when the incident​ occurred.

While discussing⁣ President Joe Biden, ‌DeSantis took a ⁢jab at ⁢him, saying, “Why⁤ don’t you focus on spending ‍more time with ‌your granddaughter‍ in Arkansas, or at ⁢least acknowledge ⁤she exists, before you worry about ⁣our children?” As DeSantis spoke, an LGBT activist unfurled a​ pride ‌flag and started shouting ‌at⁢ the ‌governor. ⁢Security quickly intervened⁢ to​ handle the disruption.

Once the situation was under⁣ control, DeSantis⁢ pointed at ​the activist and ⁣passionately ⁢exclaimed, “And ⁢they shouldn’t be worried ⁢about our children, either! ⁤We don’t want you indoctrinating ‌our children! Leave our‌ kids ​alone!” ⁤The⁤ crowd erupted⁢ in cheers.

DeSantis thanked her and agreed with her sentiments, emphasizing the need to end⁢ the weaponization ​of⁢ government ​and​ restore‍ the ​country ⁢to its ⁤founding principles.
