DeSantis’ Office: Opposition From NCAA, ‘Woke’ Corporations ‘Strengthened His Resolve’ To Protect Girls

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was “strengthened” in his resolve to sign a bill into law that protected girls from having to compete against biological males in sports because of the opposition that he faced from outside groups.

“When he heard that the NCAA was kind of threatening that they would pull out of events here in Florida or in any state that signed these types of bills, that strengthened his resolve because he doesn’t want to be bullied or allow the people of Florida to be bullied by this organization or by woke corporations,” DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw told the Daily Caller. “I know the corporate pressure is very strong from some sides on this issue and I wouldn’t be surprised if the corporate pressure was strong in other states as well.”
