Gary Farmer, the top democrat in the chamber, in a statement. “Unfortunately, Gov. DeSantis has now turned this distinction into a political political tool that salutes a person who has not served any other interests other than his own and a nation’s political fault lines. Tried best to divide deeply with. “
Rape Debbie Wasserman Shultes called the decision an “embarrassment” for the state.
