Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, hit back at Hollywood’s elite after celebrities mocked the Sunshine State during Sunday’s Academy Awards.

“Like NYC and DC elites, Hollywood elites love to hate Florida … except when they’re vacationing here and buying homes here!” DeSantis said in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner.

During Sunday’s Oscars, Hollywood’s biggest stars attacked Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, a piece of legislation that many on the Left have nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

“Well, we’re gonna have a great night tonight, and for you people in Florida, we’re gonna have a gay night,” Wanda Sykes, a host of the evening’s events, said.

“Gay! Gay! Gay!” the crowd chanted in response.

DeSantis shot back, calling out their apparent hypocrisy.

“The lack of self-awareness is hilariously out of touch with Americans. The domestic migration pattern speaks for itself: California lost the most residents in 2021, and Florida gained the most residents in the same time frame.”

“It’s a good thing Californians cannot vote in Florida elections, and it’s a great thing that ignorant, cringey Hollywood celebrities cannot veto bills passed by our legitimately elected state legislature.”
