“Freedom is under attack in your state,” California’s Democratic leader said in the punchy advertisement, paid for by Newsom’s re-election campaign and aired on the rightwing Fox News channel.
“Republican leaders – they’re banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors. I urge all of you to join the fight, or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom.”
DeSantis was asked about those attacking Florida – he didn’t hold back.
“Well look…everyone wants to talk about me and Florida. I’m just sitting here little old me doing my job. I can just tell you this, I was born and raised in this state, and until the last couple of years I rarely if ever saw a California license plate in the state of Florida, you now see a lot of them. I can tell you if you go to California you ain’t seeing very many Florida license plates.”

My first trucking job in Missouri was a dedicated run to Florida. Many times, we would haul flowers out of west suburban Miami.
We would go into a Cuban restaurant for lunch. The daughters of the owner were waitresses. They were pretty fair skinned which tells me they had a lot of Spanish blood. I would say something to the one little one and she would stomp her foot because she couldn't think of a proper response in English. I suppose Spanish was still spoken at home.
But after we left with flowers, we would stop in north Florida to pick up greens. One trips I walked in and they were all in the break room. I said, "I didn't see you, you didn't see me, and we didn't see a thing."
And they all bust out laughing.
It was a great gig back around 2002 and paid $750 a week in CASH. I sure wish I had some of that left. ;)
