Christina Pushaw, the outspoken political activist and spokesperson for Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, fired back after New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) announced a plan to attack Florida’s recently-signed Parental Rights in Education law.

Mayor Adams has criticized DeSantis’ push to forbid kindergarten—third grade school instructors from presenting gender identity and sexual orientation lessons.Advertisements

After DeSantis signed the new bill, Adams mischaracterized the law by calling it the “Can’t say gay” law, and promoted a plan to invite Floridians to move to New York, presumably where they would have more freedoms and “be able to say whatever you want.”

Interestingly, New York is widely known as the ”least free state in the Union,” and many have criticized New York City for its egregious overreach and policies, which shut down businesses, closed schools, and required masks and vaccine passports.

Mayor Adams complained: “This [is] political showmanship…attempting to demonize a particular group or community is not accepted.” He then announced his plan to place billboards throughout Florida to invite the offended to move to New York.Advertisements

Pushaw quickly responded, “The Mayor of NYC is doing us a huge favor!”

Pushaw continued: “Not surprising that the same mayor who forces 2-4 year olds to cover their faces all day is also apparently a proponent of gender theory for 5-9 year olds.” 

“Anyone who would move to New York because they’re upset over Florida’s commitment to parental rights or child protection is someone we are better off without,” Pushaw said.
