the wake of the george floyd protest that grants civil immunity to drivers who hit protesters with their car and protects police budgets from being cut no matter what. there s also a bill he signed creating one of the nation s only election police units that friend of mine who work on elections down there say they are very concerned will be used to sic a police agency on voters of color. you ve been vocal about that. do you believe that this is overall saying no one in florida who is elected or appointed is allowed to have any thought that ron desantis disagrees with? well, that s certainly part of it, joy. i mean, elected officials in florida should be worried and careful about what they say now because if you say something that the governor doesn t agree with or doesn t like, you can be suspended or punished or who knows what, arrested. but it s more than that. the governor and any elected leader is supposed to be in office to solve problems, to make our community and our state and
just voted today to accept the state s petition to ban and restrict gender affirming care in the state. it s not going to rule-making so it s not a law yet. it s just a recommendation from the florida board of medicine, so there s no law that you have refused to indict on, right? that s right. so not only have no cases come before me about gender affirming health care, there s no law in place. i mean, this is orwellian thought police where i m being punished for not enforcing a law that doesn t even exist yet. it s hard to fat yom how this happens in our country. and when it comes to abortion, there s a 15-week ban, but is there a law in place that says anyone, have you heard of or do you know of a case where there s a potential prosecution that could come before you of a doctor who performed an abortion after 15 weeks? is there prosecution even pending anywhere on the sghokt.
