Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is blaming former President Donald Trump in part for making so-called gender ideology mainstream.
During an interview with conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, DeSantis said, “I think, you know, identifying Donald Trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants, I think that’s totally fair game.”
“He’s now campaigning saying the opposite, that he doesn’t think that you should have men competing in women’s things like athletics,” the governor added.

Last month DeSantis’ campaign released an ad featuring Trump’s various comments in support of the LGBT community.
