Republicans, Parents Keep Winning

 

The “controversial” Parental Rights in Education bill has now been signed into law, and Florida Democrats are beside themselves and threatening legal action.

This was expected.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, parents to at least half a dozen rugrats, have been in lockstep on this issue since it was first introduced in Florida Legislature by Sen. Dennis Baxley and Rep. Joe Harding.

DeSantis & Co. were quick to dismiss all of the “false narratives” like calling it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill being propagated by Progressives like Rep. Carlos “Carlitos” Guillermo Smith.

“Parental Rights in Education empowers Florida’s parents and safeguards our children. Throughout this legislative session, this bill has been maliciously maligned by those who prefer slogans and sound bites over substance and common sense,” stated Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez. Fortunately, @GovRonDeSantis and I believe that parents should have a say. We will not back down to woke corporations and their same tired tactics that are steeped in hypocrisy. As a mother of three, I am committed to protecting the rights of parents.”

While Lt. Gov. Nuñez has done the heaviest lift of any Lt. Governor in Florida. history, how long will she stay by DeSantis’s side?

Many speculate that Nuñez will seek to run for governor once DeSantis is termed out of office or runs for higher office.

Maybe Nunez has congressional aspirations?

Now, we will neither confirm nor deny that Nuñez is on our flight to Washington, D.C. today, but let me just say that the woman sitting just in front of us looks and sounds like Nuñez, and the typical Cuban-American/Miami way of talking with the hands could be a dead giveaway. Dale! (Cuban saying. We are not Cuban.)
