.” Others say the confrontations only serve to generate culture-wars publicity while still condoning corporate giveaways — putting a fresh, combative spin on the implied pact between big business and social conservatives that has been the linchpin of the Republican coalition since the 1980s “Reagan revolution.”“DeSantis is not a real populist. He actually allows corporations to get away with a lot as long as they don’t question him,” said Rep.
“He showed the world, stay in your lane, do what you do, and don’t get involved in stuff outside your business interests,” said a Republican lobbyist in Florida, speaking on the condition of anonymity to be candid about sensitive client matters. “That’s red meat to Republicans, especially in these times around covid and CRT,” meaning critical race theory.
In December, Florida’s chief financial officer said the state would withdraw $2 billion from BlackRock’s management to protest the company’s ESG standards. On Tuesday, DeSantis announced additional measures against ESG in the state pension system, specifying that BlackRock and asset managers will make investment decisions based exclusively on maximizing returns. The governor also proposed legislation barring ESG considerations in lending.
A political inauguration sponsored by corporations. Tells you everything about why the US political system is do corrupt...
Like Trump, DeSantis' loyalty is only one way and only if you obey his outrageous edicts.
So he made powerful lobbyists bow to the will of the people? Cool!
When this insanity will cease ? Law should forbid such micmacs !
It’s so funny to me how the “alpha males” are also so comfortable being punched in the nuts over and over for whatever small piece of the action they think they’re getting. Strange lifestyle - “alpha maleing”
Mrs. DeSantis is rocking her “Handmaid’s Tale” look.
Leave it to WAPos to make news where there is no news…next!
And, it’s fully tax-deductible! whatacountry
This governor doesn't play well with others, speaks in soundbites using his made up buzz words and can only tolerate conversations with his yes men and a handful of rednecks. He needs to disappear completely from local and world stages.
Such grandeur for such a sh*tty, inbred banana republic. It’s hilarious that he thinks his schtick will play outside America’s limp dick, which is a good description of his personality.
WARNING--Petty Alert!! Petty Alert!!!! WTF is she wearing? Does she think she's Michelle Obama at her 11th Grade Prom?
They’re hedging their bets.
Phony as bologna
Sounds like a sound business decision.
Of course corporations are going to suck up to whoever is in power regardless of how they’ve been treated.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement and proof that GovRonDeSantis is not unduly influenced by corporate interests. Thanks for pointing that out.
Please say it isn't so. Another Republican phony.
I guess this sort of farce is believed by the same people that think pro wrestling is unscripted.
Steep fall from Co-chairs to being bent over and shown the 50 states. Tells me that you may be able to rent DeSantis, but you can't own him.
No matter how hard they try, King Ronald DeSantis of Deplorida will not play well nationally. This posturing is having the opposite effect for this weak and insecure creep.
