Florida Governor Ron DeSantis accepted an invitation to speak at a Staten Island, NY law enforcement event in Annadale, the kick-off for his pro-police tour.
During his speech, at the event hosted by the New York State Fraternal Order of Police, the Florida governor talked about the “need for safer communities.”
His visit to the Big Apple was not without controversy. Foes of the governor made their feelings known about the Republican governor and his policies.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams welcomed DeSantis with a snarky tweet filled with popular Leftist lies and misconceptions.
He wrote, “Welcome to NYC, a place where we don’t ban books, discriminate against our LGBTQ+ neighbors, use asylum seekers as props, or let the government stand between a woman and health care.” “We’re happy to teach you something about values while you’re here,” Mayor Adams continued.

“We’re happy to teach you something about values while you’re here,” Mayor Adams continued.
It seems as though the mayor is in favor of grooming young children in schools.
Is he also against sanctuary cities accepting the very people they claim to welcome with their sanctuary city policies?
Are those the values he means?
And, what policy has the governor pushed that keeps women from healthcare?
Doesn’t matter, Leftist lies are so pervasive. They rarely get any pushback.
Fabien Levy, the mayor’s press secretary, shared the mayor’s tweet and added, “Florida man today visits best city in the world.”
Quite clever, getting the Florida man meme in there, but “best city in the world”? That’s up for debate.
In a 2022 Time Out survey, New York City barely broke the top 20, coming in at number 20, a far cry from number one.
DeSantis campaign spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, didn’t waste any time firing back at the mayor’s comments.
She tweeted in response, “Nice rhetoric – but here’s reality: More Americans fled NYC than any other metro area last year. More Americans moved to Florida than any other state.”
“You know this, Mayor Adams, and you’ve talked (accurately) about crime pushing people out of NYC,” Pushaw said. “Florida’s crime rate meanwhile is at a 50-year low.”
“Maybe it’s you who can learn from [DeSantis]?”
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, several cities in Florida had huge increases in domestic migration while at the same time, New York Metro area had the “highest rate of decrease.”
People are not buying what Mayor Adams is selling and the numbers show it.
DeSantis addressed the crowd on President’s Day asking, “Is this Florida north or is Florida Staten Island south?”
“You don’t have to look far in Florida to find someone that’s got Staten Island roots,” he continued.
DeSantis got down to business and outlined Florida’s pro-police policies which include a $5,000 recruitment bonus and school-choice scholarships for dependents of LEOs.
“I wish I can tell you that Floridians are just so much better but it’s not the reason. It’s not. The reason is, is we support strong policies to keep our communities safe, and we back the blue and we support their mission,” he told the group.
Lee Zeldin, GOP gubernatorial candidate last year, served with DeSantis in Congress and speaks highly of the Florida governor.
“It has been too long since we’ve been able to hear a voice of a governor who is unapologetically fighting for us and our families to keep us safe, prosperous and free,” Zeldin said.
What a concept!
