New York City mayor Eric Adams has launched a digital billboard and ad campaign to denounce the passage of Florida's "Parental Rights in Education" bill and invite Floridians to move to New York.
His campaign fully supports the LGBTQIA community, and Adams thinks the new Florida law is "shameful" and of "extremist culture."
The billboards will be spread in five cities across Florida: Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and West Palm Beach.
DeSantis released a statement in response to New York City's mayor's campaign. It reads:
"Thousands of New Yorkers have moved to Florida since the pandemic began, and I doubt many will leave Florida because they’re so upset about the lack of classroom instruction on gender theory and sexuality for children in grades K-3.
"Mayor Adams is doing Florida a favor. If anyone is so upset about our governor defending parental rights that they want to leave Florida for a crime-ridden socialist dystopia, our state will be better off without them. In fact, the mayor should pay for their flights to NYC!
"If Mayor Adams feels that political grandstanding is the best way to spend city funds, instead of addressing the real problems the city is struggling with, the taxpayers of New York may have their own thoughts to share with him." Read more at 10 Tampa Bay.
