“You have your tax dollars being given in grants to things like the Fringe Festival, which is like a sexual festival where they’re doing all this stuff,” DeSantis said during a Thursday press conference, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Hmm, I wonder what kinds of “sexual stuff” he’s referring to.
the Tampa Bay Times reports that the governor’s spokespeople did not respond to questions about specific events he found objectionable.
Oh.
Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani (D), who attended this year’s Orlando Fringe festival, told the Times that she saw nothing “sexual” at the festival.
“It does feature drag queens and other forms of artistic expression that DeSantis has wanted to censor despite courts telling him otherwise!” Eskamani said.
So a man dressing in women’s clothes is an inherently sexual act, according to these sexually repressed freaks.
FYI, UN Watch is a right-wing organization that has been described as a “pro-Israeli monitor” and “lobby group” that has a history of attacking anyone in the UN who is openly critical of Israel vis-à-vis Palestine. (Source)
This article should be taken with a large pinch of salt.
Edit: I’ve had the time to read through the full article. What a joke.
First off, it claims:
Which sounds serious and official until you click through to the source and see that this “announcement” is literally just a private email response from the UN to the CEO of UN Watch (Hillel Neuer) who sent a report to them detailing Albanese’s alleged malfeasance.
Essentially, the response says “Thank you for your report. We have sent it to the High Commissioner so they can determine if it warrants any action”. What a bombshell announcement! /s
Reading further, we find out that the nefarious “pro-Hamas” group is actually the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, whose dastardly aim is to “advocate for Australian policy to support Palestinian human rights, justice, and equality.” The bastards!
Oh, and whereas the headline claims that Albanese “took funds” from these villainous Aussies, it turns out that the $20,000 figure is the estimated cost of the trip according to, yes you guessed it, Hillel Neuer himself. Albanese states her trip was funded by the UN. Neuer offers no other evidence to the contrary.
The article then cites a laundry list of claims about Albanese being an anti-semite because of her public statements about the legality of Israel’s war on Gaza that do not conform to the official line from the Israeli government.
Hoo boy, what a load of horse manure.
