DeSantis PAC: Anti-LGBTQ Ad Is “Perfectly Legitimate”

NewsNation reports:

The presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is facing criticism from a prominent group representing LGBTQ conservatives, which says a political advertisement attacking Donald Trump’s past positions on LGBTQ rights “ventured into homophobic territory.”

Ken Cuccinelli, founder of the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down, says the ad was focusing on the “legitimate” difference between DeSantis’ and Trump’s stance on transgender issues. “I don’t think that he is” going too far with the ad, Cuccinelli said. “This issue is perfectly legitimate.”

“You can disagree or agree with them or think this went too aggressively or not, but Ron DeSantis is the leader on the leading cultural battle of our time,” Cuccinelli said. “It’s a spiritual battle, it’s a cultural battle and Republican voters care a great deal about it. He is the, without question, leader on this issue both substantively and in the campaign.”

Virginia’s law had been struck down in the wake of the 2003 landmark Supreme Court ruling Lawrence v Texas.
