Florida Gov Ron DeSantis was met with protesters when visiting Washington, DC, to meet with Republican members of Congress on Tuesday, April 18, ahead of an
expected presidential bid.Protesters gathered outside the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, near Capitol Hill, booing Republican lawmakers as they left the event.Signs at the protest read “Desperate sad bigot,” “Ron DeSantis is really, really scared of drag queens #loser,” and “Ron DeSantis is afraid of books.”The protest signs referenced DeSantis’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill, which bans Florida teachers from instructing on sexual orientation or gender identity until fourth grade.
