The political left has been at war with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after he defied “woke” corporate behemoth Disney by signing a new parental rights bill into law, and now he is taking friendly fire from another GOP governor.
On Sunday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan appeared on CNN where he denounced his Sunshine State counterpart, parroting Democrat talking points about the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill during an appearance on “State Of The Union” with host Dana Bash.
Hogan, a man who holds White House aspirations as a RINO alternative to former President Donald J. Trump, is beloved by a media which regularly swoons over him despite the fact that has the proverbial snowball’s chance in hell of winning his party’s nomination in 2024.
Hogan, whom some have nicknamed “lockdown Larry” for his draconian COVID restriction measures that were practically indistinguishable from those in Democrat states, was warmly welcomed by Bash and after chatting with the host about Ukraine and Trump’s “missing” phone logs, the topic turned to DeSantis.
“Your fellow Republican governor, DeSantis in Florida, he suggested that he will retaliate against Disney after it criticized Florida’s so-called “don’t say gay” bill which bans certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom,” asked Bash. “What’s your reaction to that and then more broadly, what do you make of that legislation?”
“Well, I didn’t really actually see the details of the legislation,” Hogan replied, admitting that he had not read HB-1557, the “Parental Rights in Education” bill which was signed by DeSantis last week, “but the whole thing seems just like a, you know, just a crazy fight.”
“I’m not sure it concerns me,” he continued, “DeSantis is always talking about, uh, you know he was not demanding businesses do things but he was telling the cruise lines what they had to do, he was telling the schools what they… mandating, and now he wants to criticize Disney for expressing you know, how they feel about that bill.”
“They have every right to, expressing how they feel about that bill, they have every right to, we have a thing called freedom of speech and can come out and say what they think,” he said as he defended the gargantuan entertainment company that has vowed to overturn the bill, canceling democracy in Florida much like the communist Chinese do in Disney’s largest market while they remain tight-lipped about the abominable human rights abuses carried out under the Xi regime.
“I think the bill was kind of absurd, and not something that would have happened in our state,” Hogan said of the legislation that only moments before he disclosed that he had not read.
Leftists and the activist media mistakenly believed that Disney’s clout in Florida could bring DeSantis to heel over the anti-grooming bill but they were sadly mistaken when, like a honey badger, he put the activists in the kingdom of the mouse on warning, suggesting that he could strip the corporation of its special “self-governing” status over its crusade to protect classroom perverts.

If it was up to the media, Hogan would be a slam dunk for the 2024 GOP nomination but alas, the ambitious Maryland governor has no shot in the reality-based world.

And THAT'S the problem with our country right now! The dumba$$ elected representatives don't care about anything except getting elected! They either can't read (products of national school system) or won't read! If you don't read before opening your mouth, you show everyone that you are an idiot, and your voters either get shamed by you, or they're also as inept as you are!
Get a clue! RINO's don't read bills, they vote for bills based on friendship with the opposition!
TIME TO FIRE RINO'S!
ANYONE that appears on ANY lying, Liberal, Communist media, and complains about anyone, trying to prevent a demonic queer agenda, IS NOT A REPUBLICAN, AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN.
Hogan is a joke, pure Rino calling him a GOP Governor is like claiming Liz Cheney is a GOP Congresswoman. Nothing could be further from the truth
Moron. Typical politician these day jump before you look! Just makes them look like morons!
Idiots elect idiots, Maryland deserves what they get. Just like NY gets AOC, and CA voted in all their psychos like Pee-loser. Freedom to vote comes with responsibilities. Just saying….
This fat fk rhino is one POS .
Maybe some of the US professionals should pay him a visit to set him straight
On the true facts .
RINO
Hogan has the affliction that most RINOs and Demo-Lib-Leftists ascribe to; Ignorance! If the LGBT community wasn’t so insecure and intent on their excessive need for attention they would actually see that they could be helping the very young students, show respect for their parents, and support age-appropriate material for the very young kids. Oh, and maybe they might wish to read and understand the legislation before making such fools of themselves.
Offering an opinion on legislation you have not read is an unmistakable sign of stupidity. Has our educational system sunken this low?
Anybody who has the need to speak to kids under 7 about sex (PERIOD) is a pervert.
ONLY parents have the absolute right and responsibility to educate their children about sex.
In my opinion Larry Hogan really makes himself look stupid by saying he has not read the bill that was passed and does not know exactly what it says but then goes on to comment on it and states he thinks the bill is absurd. Must be a slow news day at BPR and I will say beings I live in Florida the majority of us could care less what Larry Hogan has to say.
Semper Fi 1969-1989
Larry is no Republican !
Since he is so admired by the leftmedia and the liberdems, why doesn’t Larry run in the DEMOCRAT PRIMARY?? He’d look STRONG compared to the weenies and wonders of the left!
See how all now this leftist is arguing Freedom of Speech, and the right to Express concerns. BUT when We The American People Argue Our Right to Free Speech And try to Express Our Concerns then We Are CENSORED. Where is The Democracy in That???
Thanks, Larry, for revealing to us the rino you really are. Maryland, you know what to do. Stop paying someone who will not do what you elected to do. Read the bills before you pass the legislation, let alone speak out on something you HAVE NOT READ.
step down larry, you are a rino SOB!!!
Larry should run for Congress for his next gig…Apparently reading bills before you vote for them is not a requirement there either…
Now do you see why it was so important for the communist dems to pass a NO LYNCH law in the midst of our nation’s destruction?
Didn’t even take time to read bill before puking his distorted communist VOMIT.
Larry Hogan isn’t a Republican. He’s a Leftist loon in a RINO suit.
Hogan you freaking RINO Shut Up and feed your fat self some useful knowledge. Read the damn bill before you spout your SOROS fed mouth.
Guarantee he blew the rest of his chances for a 2024 run, especially if he’s a main stream media darling. Any idiot who doesn’t read a legislation bill and makes stupid comments based only on what the left media tells him will not survive any political runs.
Hogan is at best a RINO that should declare being a democrat. The reason he has a high popularity rating in Maryland is because he kowtows to the democrats. He does seem to have some illusion that he will run for president, the question is for which party. We had another governor, O’Malley that tried and looked like a fool in so doing. Hogan is just another fool that apparently does not care about children and has never read the law!!
Hogan is a COMPLETE AZZHOLE will be be GONE from the political scene shortly. Maybe the IDIOT should actually READ the Bill before spewing his BS………which he is really good at !
Hogan is a pant load pure and simple
Whenever I ask critics of the bill if they’ve read it, I get no response. In other words, they’re forming their opinions based on leftist propaganda alone. Hogan is a narcissistic fool if he thinks he has even a minute chance of being the GOP nominee.
