The Hill reports:
Some LGBTQ Republicans, responding to Friday’s video, said in interviews with The Hill that they would no longer support DeSantis as the GOP nominee in 2024. “It’s like he’s going mask off,” said Brad Polumbo, a Michigan-based libertarian journalist. “The cat’s out of the bag.”
“This was the final nail in the coffin,” said former New Hampshire state Rep. Yvonne Dean-Bailey (R), who said she had previously considered backing DeSantis in 2024 but will now likely vote third-party.
“I used to think he was a great governor,” Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), adding he feels “used and misled” by DeSantis. “Now, I’m starting to think differently. I’m starting to see him for what he is. His rhetoric is to diminish and remove rights away from people like myself, and I can’t support that.”
