The video was widely criticized, including by some Republicans. The images are mixed with headlines and audio decrying DeSantis’s legislative attacks on LGBTQ people, including one claiming the laws “literally threaten trans existence.” Then the tone shifts to thumping, dark music and juxtaposes pictures of DeSantis-including one with lasers shooting out of his eyes-with images of bodybuilders and pop culture references, including Christian Bale’s Patrick Bateman ( American Psycho) and Brad Pitt’s Achilles ( 300). "To wrap up Pride Month, let's hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it,” the video is captioned, seemingly referring to Trump. The video opens with a string of clips of Trump making positive comments about the LGBTQ community, including one that came in the wake of the Pulse nightclub massacre in 2016, which took place in DeSantis’s home state. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign shared a bizarre, meme-filled video Friday celebrating the governor’s anti-LGBTQ record and attacking Donald Trump’s 2016 pledge to “do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens.” The video, which was posted by the DeSantis War Room account and amplified by DeSantis influencers, has been widely condemned as homophobic, even by some Republicans.
