Gov. Ron DeSantis is criticizing Republicans he says are acting like “potted plants” in the political and culture-wars battle against mainstream media and the Left.
In his speech, DeSantis pushed back against recent criticism by some potential rivals for the GOP presidential nomination over his aggressive actions in going after what he considers"woke" corporations, and in particular his battle against Disney.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks after being sworn in to begin his second term during an inauguration ceremony outside the Old Capitol on Jan. 3, 2023, in Tallahassee, Florida. "Some of these Republicans, they just sit back like potted plants, and they let the media define the terms of the debate. They let the Left define the terms of the debate. They take all this incoming because they’re not making anything happen," he claimed.
And the Club for Growth speech comes as DeSantis has been making stops across the country, highlighting his"Florida blueprint" and promoting his new book,"The Courage to be Free," which was released Tuesday. On Sunday DeSantis will deliver remarks at a sold out event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
