Although the act has garnered considerable support, with several states eyeing similar measures, Jill Biden recently criticized it. She drew parallels to Nazi Germany, a comparison often favored by liberals in dissent.
From Radar Online:
Jill likened Florida's controversial public education to dictatorship while speaking at a Biden campaign fundraising event in California over the weekend.
"History teaches us that democracies don’t disappear overnight," the first lady said before mentioning several laws Florida has passed under Governor Ron DeSantis' "anti-woke" agenda. "They disappear slowly, subtly silently. A book ban a court decision, a Don’t Say Gay law."
"Before World War Two, I’m told, Berlin was the center of LGBTQ culture in Europe," Jill continued. "One group of people loses their rights and then another, and then another, until one morning you wake up and you no longer live in a democracy."
"MAGA extremists are seeking to erase these hard-fought gains. Thanks to President Biden, marriage equality is now the law of the land," Jill continued.
"He ended the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood. He’s made it possible for trans Americans to serve openly, honorably in the military. And he’s standing firmly against conversion therapy."
"There are victories that would have been unimaginable just a few decades ago: Being free to walk down the street as your authentic self. Co-workers that use your chosen name and pronouns."
"MAGA Republicans are waging battles over our choices, our futures, and trying to drag us back to a dark and dangerous path."
