Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped “corporate wokeness” late last week during a state event, going on to warn employers that they should not be “caving to the mob” in order to score left-wing political points.
In comments at the annual meeting of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the GOP governor often mentioned as a potential 2024 presidential contender told top business leaders he is prepared to take action against any employers who use their corporate “power” to push a political ideology.
“If you’re using your power as a corporation, and you’re leveraging that to try to advance any ideology, I think it’s very dangerous for this country and I’m not just gonna sit idly by,” DeSantis said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “Do you want to be more of a political actor or more of a business actor?”
