(WATCH) DeSantis Blows Up On Reporter, Accuses Him Of Pushing ‘False Narrative’ (VIDEO)
Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., got into a heated confrontation with a local reporter who asked the governor about education legislation dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law by leftist critics and the media.
A Florida Republican education reform bill has received national attention and has been slammed by progressives as anti-LGBTQ, with claims that the bill prohibits any talk about being homosexual in classrooms.

The bill is officially titled the Parental Rights in Education and says, “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.”
WFLA reporter Evan Donovan challenged DeSantis at a news conference on Monday about “what critics call the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.”
“Does it say that in the bill?” DeSantis asked. “Does it say that in the bill?”
Donovan began to respond before DeSantis interrupted and said, “I’m asking what’s in the bill because you are pushing false narratives. It doesn’t matter what critics say.”
Donovan then attempted to quote the bill’s text before DeSantis interrupted him a second time. Donovan was replying, “It says ‘Classroom instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation.'”
Desantis jumped in and said, “For who? For grades pre-K through three, no five-year-olds, six-year-olds, seven-year-olds. And the idea that you wouldn’t be honest about that and tell people what it actually says, it’s why people don’t trust people like you because you peddle false narratives. And so we just disabused you of those narratives.”
“And we’re going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum,” DeSantis continued.
