DeSantis' LGBTQ controversy sparks criticism from both sides

Ron DeSantis' campaign Twitter account for his 2024 presidential bid shared a video criticizing former President Donald Trump's past promise to protect LGBTQ rights, marking the end of Pride Month. The video contrasts DeSantis with Trump, highlighting recent measures enacted by DeSantis that have curbed LGBTQ protections in Florida. The sharing of the video reflects DeSantis' strategy to position himself as a more conservative alternative to Trump on various issues, including LGBTQ rights, abortion, immigration, and guns. The video has drawn criticism from LGBTQ conservatives and calls for an explanation or acknowledgment from the DeSantis campaign.
