In order to pocket it. He signed a budget deal that his wife got the lion's share to the tune of over a hundred million. He's for sure an anti woke christofascist that wants to harm a large number of people, but he's also greedy as all hell. Anything he can defund by screaming "woke!" at it is more funds he can redirect to his cronies and his pockets. He's playing his voters for fools and the rest of us are forced to deal as best we can.
I also doubt very seriously that this state will have a trustworthy election. He's installed hick ass yes men all through our state government. I'm willing to bet Florida comes up deep red, but it won't be accurate. This state is corrupt as fuck. It deserves the coming storms.

This is what I'm talking about. I don't believe for a second that even a quarter of that money goes towards anyone but them. Looking at his insane cuts this year, it becomes even more clear. Brazen greed.
Second this, one can't just say something like this and not give a source.
