Creator Deletes Anti-LGBTQ DeSantis Campaign Video

Florida Politics reports:

A video spotlighted by the DeSantis War Room Twitter account that painted Donald Trump as accommodating on LGBTQ+ issues has been quietly deleted. However, the Tweet highlighting the video is still up as of this writing Saturday morning. The deletion, first noticed by Axios reporter Alex Thompson, caps off days of blowback against Ron DeSantis which included the Governor defending the video as “fair game” and saying that Trump was a “pioneer” in allowing transgender women to participate in beauty pageants that Trump put on.

As noted below, it’s possible that the video was deleted due to complaints from the producers of the British TV series “Peaky Blinders,” who denounced the clip as having stolen their material.

TBC, the DeSantis campaign tweet is still up. It’s the creator of the video that deleted their tweet https://t.co/eIexlcZBzI

Guessing this is less about embarrassment and more about the IP owners getting lawyery about their content (Peaky Blinders etc) showing up. https://t.co/5R23kZfVPe
