Florida Governor ron deSantis To Address NYC Supporters at Chelsea Piers, Sunday June 12

What part of "Pride Month" does Chelsea Piers not understand?

"For the second time this spring, a New York City institution is facing a backlash over a conservative Jewish conference, long in the planning, because of one of its featured speakers: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida." Liam Stack, The New York Times, June 11, 2022.

I can tell he has a very SMOKE-ABLE pole with massive explosions.

Keep your trash at home, floriduh. I hope we give him the rousing New York City welcome he deserves.

“The bottom line is Chelsea Piers is providing a venue to propagate hate toward the L.G.B.T.Q. community and that is unacceptable on many levels, including that it is Pride and that it is in Chelsea, the heart of the community,” said State Senator Brad Hoylman, the Manhattan Democrat who represents the area.

Is this on purpose to be as challenging and provocative as possible?

He's been seeking martyrdom for some time. And RIck Scott doesn't return his calls.

He is right about prop sports though, but I'm sure his logic is wrong.

I’ll never understand my fellow Jews for Republicans, it’s like Jews for the Nazi party.

DeSantis is is gawdawful.

R2, I'm sure all of his massive explosions come from the back, not the front.

I hope the ghosts of the piers arise and slaughter him. The idea of him spreading his homophobic hatred over the gathering place of our dead brothers is repellent to the very core. May their restless spirits escort him to hell before they return to wherever it is they reside.

So there are " conservatives" in NYC. Just another bit if proof that DeSantis is going to run against Trump. That will be a fun primary.

Appearing at this location is perhaps a menacing attempt at appealing to his base that the party will be over for LGBT when he’s president. He’ll make sure that gay marriage is not supported by his administration when the Supreme Court shitcans it, and that he’ll go as far as possible to hurt the gays including new federal laws outlawing pride events nationwide (because the children). They want to intimidate us back into the closet like Russia or Poland.

[quote]So there are "conservatives" in NYC.

Yes. They're called "Orthodox Jews". As ALWAYS, New York City is completely, totally, and utterly different from the rest of the country.

Linking to what should be the theme of NYC.

So, anybody go to hear him? I'm surprised they invited him when they could have asked an actual Jew like Ivanka Trump.

by Anonymousreply 17June 12, 2022 6:30 PM

During Passover, lots of Orthodox Jews flew to Mar a Lago for a weeklong event—entertainment, food.

Trump and DeSantis, of course, showed up to speak to everyone. Right Wing Pundit Ben Shapiro was there too

Anything happen at the " event"?

by Anonymousreply 19June 13, 2022 11:43 AM

It's been driving me nuts who this creep looks like, then I figured it out.

DeSantis looks like the 1960s British soul singer, Eric Burden. His band was The Animals, Eric later joined the American band War.

Eric during the 1960s, he always had an old looking face.

I guess he must have been a smashing success and has won over the hearts of New Yorkers, since only a few dozen came out to protest.

Elliot Abrams, the former deputy national security advisor and chairman of the Tikvah Fund, told the New York Jewish Week that the Jewish community of Florida “is a great story.”

“Not only is the population of Florida growing, but the Jewish community is thriving,” Abrams said. “[Desantis] has a lot to be proud of when it comes to that.”

[quote]a conservative Jewish conference

So...AIPAC trash. The same ones currently funding the campaigns of insurrectionists because they put the interests of Israel ahead of the US.

by Anonymousreply 22June 14, 2022 12:09 AM

It's a "fuck you" to NY and gay community, but it is also a trap - go too far in protesting and he's suddenly the victim. "Just look at how those 'tolerant' New Yorkers treated me!"

The rest of the country concurs with that statement.

People claim they want to prevent Trump from being president again, but then they turn around and try to stop the man, DeSantis, who is the one who can stop Trump. Make up your mind.

R10 displays both his historical and political ignorance re Nazis, Dems and "liberals". See this thread for examples. See link below for further example.

Deciding who to try to stop between DeSantis and Trump is like trying to choose between having your face ripped off by a chimpanzee or eaten by a lion. They’re equally bad and dangerous choices that will result in a lot of pain and a dead democracy.
