Crowd erupts with applause after DeSantis fires back at heckler who called him ‘f—— fascist’

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis mixed it up with a heckler on Friday after the unidentified audience member interrupted his speech to call him a “f***** fascist.”

“The right to healthcare, to their kid’s healthcare, you’re a f****** fascist,” yelled a woman in the crowd in Lexington, South Carolina as DeSantis was discussing the rights parents have to protect their children from sexualization in Florida schools.

“We say gay!” the heckler added.

After loud booing erupted from the crowd, DeSantis responded: “Well, thank you, we’re not going to let you impose an agenda on our kids, we’re going to stand up for our kids, we’re going to make sure to do it right.”

That response drew a standing ovation from the crowd as the woman was escorted out.

“Those people like that in Florida are the people we beat every single day on policy,” DeSantis added. “We do not let them win. We win all these battles, we’re not letting them indoctrinate our kids, not on our watch.”

DeSantis said he is often accused of “banning” books when he attempts to remove inappropriate subject matter from school libraries.

DeSantis has been widely criticized by Democrats over his parental rights law last year that states, “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”

Critics have labeled that the “Don’t Say Gay” bill even though those words do not appear anywhere in the bill’s text.

The DeSantis team posted the clip to social media telling his followers to watch as he “roasts” and “angry leftist.”
