The Florida Governor has not yet publicly responded to the travel advisory, but slammed the idea when it was first floated in March, when the Florida chapter of the NAACP first asked national leaders to consider the measure. ‘What a joke,’ he said at the time (footage middle). ‘Yeah, we’ll see, we’ll see how effective that is.’ DeSantis last signed a bill into law which bans the state’s public colleges and universities from spending money on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
