Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

Being mean to trans and gay people. That's the policy.

But that's my point. I want him to say that. I want him to explain his actual policy in uncoded terms.

Don’t forget black people. He was busy scrubbing away black history in Florida.
