'Does someone wanna tell her?' Florida Dem INSTANTLY regrets embarrassing attempt to shame DeSantis
May 29, 2022
'This is not the own you think it is, Representative'
Florida State Rep. Anna Eskamani (D) thought she had come up with a real zinger when she decided to blast Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and BlazeTV's David Rubin for hosting an event in “literally in one of the most #LGBTQ+ friendly parts of Orlando and during Pride Month too” – but there was just one critical detail the liberal lawmaker missed.
"Wow. Super disappointed to see The Plaza Live hosting an event w/DeSantis next week -- this is literally in one of the most #LGBTQ+ friendly parts of Orlando and during Pride Month too," tweeted Eskamani, adding, "Orlandoans deserve better than this culture war BS."
\u201cWow. Super disappointed to see The Plaza Live hosting an event w/DeSantis next week -- this is literally in one of the most #LGBTQ+ friendly parts of Orlando and during Pride Month too.\n\nOrlandoans deserve better than this culture war BS.\n\nhttps://t.co/HTXnftphFm\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
In a second tweet, Eskamani removed all doubt of her ignorance by making it clear she thinks Dave Rubin is another one of those "awful" homophobic conservatives.
"It’s not just DeSantis; the guy hosting him is awful too," she tweeted about the "Rubin Report" host.
\u201cAnd it\u2019s not just DeSantis; the guy hosting him is awful too\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
\u201c@AnnaForFlorida Does someone wanna tell her \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
\u201c@AnnaForFlorida This is not the own you think it is, Representative.\n\nMaybe do a little research on who @RubinReport is before proceeding? \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
\u201c@AnnaForFlorida Wow Anna, do some research first!!\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
\u201c@AnnaForFlorida I\u2026you know Dave is gay, right?\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
Christina Pushaw, DeSantis’ press secretary, helpfully enlightened Eskamani:
\u201c@AnnaForFlorida Anna, @RubinReport is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Bad look for you to be gatekeeping.\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
Dave tried to help out as well:
\u201cNot only married, but this picture was at noted white supremacist @RealCandaceO\u2019s wedding! \n\nI\u2019m sure she\u2019d be happy to sit down with @AnnaForFlorida too!\u201d— Dave Rubin (@Dave Rubin) 1653699503
He also extended a friendly invitation:
\u201cHi Representative Eskamani, my husband and I would like to invite you to the event as our guest. First row seats, let me know\u2026\u201d— Dave Rubin (@Dave Rubin) 1653693028
Twice:
\u201c@AnnaForFlorida No need for the homophobia. Please come to the event and see what it\u2019s all about!\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653688247
When Eskamani responded with a bit of low-brow name-calling, Rubin repeated his offer a third time:
\u201cDespite your obvious homophobia and bigotry (you think all gay people must think the same way, which is the very definition of prejudice), my offer to come to the show still stands.\u201d— Dave Rubin (@Dave Rubin) 1653694399
About an hour and a half later, Eskamani came up with this clever retort:
\u201cOnly if I can be on stage and debate both you and DeSantis. And @bjoewolf can join us to livestream the whole thing \ud83d\udc85\ud83c\udffd\u201d— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28 (@Rep. Anna V. Eskamani \ud83d\udd28) 1653699690
For obvious reasons, Dave wasn't about to disappoint his audience by turning the DeSantis venue into the All-About-Anna Show, but he did offer to debate her "at another venue in the future."
\u201c@ChristinaPushaw @RonDeSantisFL lol how ridiculous @AnnaForFlorida. 1K people bought tickets to see me and the governor. I\u2019m not giving you a second of that time. I invited you to see what freedom, liberty and Florida are truly all about. I\u2019ll gladly debate you at another venue in the future.\u201d— Christina Pushaw \ud83d\udc0a \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Christina Pushaw \ud83d\udc0a \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1653700376
Dave Rubin, host of BlazeTV's "The Rubin Report," is no stranger to unhinged leftist attacks. In the video clip below, Dave talks to Tucker Carlson, Lewis Howes, Larry King, the Babylon Bee and others about why the Democratic party is turning so many liberals into conservatives in this special “best of” episode.
