Guess what happens to the strip club if they allow minors to watch.

GovRonDeSantis I encourage you to get with FoxNews in Manhattan cuz I saw them looking at the terrazzo pictures I sent that reference Manatee county sheriff's office human trafficking and murder rings. I'm losing my ass here I hope you take it seriously. It's Squad 4 jail staff

Is this stuff really what Floridians care about?

Someone please find a video or picture of RonDeSantisFL in drag. No way there’s this kind of hate unless he’s trying to hide his real self DeSantisKKK

Did he get this idea from Yellowstone?

Love this dude !!!!

Homophobe!

The Democrats and Republicans are going to do it all over again and give common sense middle of the road Americans absolutely no choice for President

As a side historical note, it was in Florida where they wouldn’t let Elvis move while performing on stage.

This man is a fascist that has zero regard for the constitutional rights of Americans.

Speaking of liquor and minors 👇🏼

ATabarrok not hearing a lot about cancel culture these days

When is someone gonna stand up and end the evil in Florida?

Drag shows are fine for adults. Sexually explicit anything should not be performed in the presence of CHILDREN period.

Oh Ron. This was a terrible miscalculation by you. You know what happens next don’t you? Transvestite carnival outside Ron’s house y’all.

I'm telling you, next he'll being telling the people of FL what they can and can't do in their own bedrooms.

Does this mean he's gonna go after Santos then?

Fight on Governor. Don't let pedos brainwash children

As Trump just posted a meme of Desantes 🍺 with young women.

Next, DeSantis will be banning Madea from showing in FL

I personally don't think sexually explicit entertainment is appropriate for children just as I don't think kids should be allowed in bars.I see nothing wrong with drag shows or drag queens putting on age appropriate performances.I would have no problem taking my grandkids to one.

The ultimate Karen of Kevin’s

That’s rich coming from a pedoohile himself

Ron DeSantis seems to have a glaring preoccupation with drag shows. Does it stem from a bad experience?

Dude’s fighting a losing battle

Any chance someone can produce a law violation? Is there a code for what a drag show is and isn’t? What is sexually explicit? Orlando Philharmonic wishes you well! 🤣🤣

Sick fking leftists, groomers/pedo's And they are supported by dems

So since we are no longer allowing parents to make the best decision for their families, I guess this means that minors are not allowed at any music concerts such as J-Lo, Rihanna, Harry Styles, Justin Timberlake…anymore either because they do explicit things on stage too.
