Gov. Ron DeSantis avoided mentioning his chief 2024 rival, former President Donald Trump, at a conservative conference in Washington, D.C. Instead, DeSantis focused his speech on a topic that has fueled his political rise: the cultural wars, most notably parental rights over gender and sexuality.
DeSantis also slammed Republicans who criticized his yearlong feud with Disney, which first started when the corporation condemned him for attempting to limit conversations over gender and sexuality in elementary schools. "The sad thing is this: A lot of these Republicans are siding with Disney, and they're attacking me," DeSantis said to boos.
Most of the Republican 2024 presidential field is speaking at the conference, a sign of the influence evangelicals still have in choosing the next GOP standard-bearer. When DeSantis has addressed Trump's indictment, he's opted instead to excoriate the"weaponization" of the Department of Justice against GOP targets. At the conference, DeSantis noted:"We see a federal government whose agencies have been weaponized against their fellow Americans, including people of faith. And underlying all of that is the fact that the Left is lighting the fire of a cultural revolution all across this land.
DeSantis previously declined to elaborate on whether he would support Trump if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee. The Republican National Committee stipulates that any candidate who wants to participate in its primary debates this summer must pledge to back the eventual nominee.
