Standing behind a podium sign that said Not Woke Politics, Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled more policy actions against what he says are elitist grabs in investment practices that harm the state and everyday citizens.
An outspoken critics of so-called environmental, social, and corporate governance companies, the governor said at a press conference in Naples that state lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session will be taking multiple steps in its ongoing crackdown on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment policies that are elitist and discriminatory.
DeSantis, a likely Republican presidential candidate, has sought to capitalize on his opposition to "woke" thinking in corporate board rooms and college classrooms in Florida. Federal courts, however, have blocked his efforts to limit discussions of race, gender and other matters as an unconstitutional violation of free speech, although DeSantis is appealing these losses.
DeSantis said Monday that he expects other states will follow Florida with similar moves against "ESG," which has become a favorite target of conservative media.

A bit full of yourself DeSantis? Since you hate the environment everyone should go take a big old collective shit on your lawn. Just look at it as fertilizer.
