Ron DeSantis campaign suggests Joe Biden is a child molester for supporting LGBTQ+ equality

[icymist]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) campaign released a video that implies that President Joe Biden is a child molester, citing his support for LGBTQ+ equality as evidence.

The video – which the DeSantis War Room account on Twitter captioned “Keep your hands off kids” – shows some awkward footage of Biden getting pictures taken with groups, some of which included children. The footage is played slowly with scary music in the background to add to the suggestion that the videos show something inappropriate.

In the voiceover, quotes from Biden and Biden administration officials about the importance of supporting children are played to illustrate the point that Biden loves children… in the wrong way. Some of the quotes are played with distorted voices to handwave past the fact that nothing alarming is being said.

...DeSantis has also long used accusations of child sex abuse to attack political opponents. Last year, when his administration was promoting the Don’t Say Gay bill that effectively banned talking about LGBTQ+ people in younger grades and restricted discussions of them in older grades, DeSantis’s press secretary said that anyone who opposed the bill was a pedophile.
