No one said they didn’t have the right to speak. They just do not have the right to public funding, and I applaud the Governor for his actions. Why should he allow funding for your Democrat advocacy? Pay for that yourselves.
The money has been appropriated. DeSantis, as governor has the power to veto the appropriation. If he says he is vetoing it because he does not agree with funding sports facilities for sports teams then that would be one thing. But he has publicly said he is vetoing it because of what the Rays said about gun control and that is a clear violation of their First Amendment rights. DeSantis is using it as an election ploy knowing his veto will be found unconstitutional...some time after the election.
