Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon, who is running for the U.S. Senate, torched Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday, accusing him of “abusing his power” and using state authority to ignite a religious and cultural culture war after he declared June “Faith and Family Month.”
“Let’s call this what it is: Governor DeSantis is abusing his power to elevate one religion and one definition of family over everyone else,” Nixon said in a statement. “Florida is not a Christian state. Florida is home to Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, people of many faiths, and people of no faith at all.”
