\nLike most Floridians, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ staff had a busy week after Thanksgiving, what with consuming leftover jellied cranberry sauce out of the can and flocking the Christmas tree<\/a>. Oh, and within the gubernatorial gang’s case: showing in a Tallahassee federal courtroom to defend their boss’ suspension of Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren<\/a> this previous summer season. <\/p>\n

As first reported by Gary Rohrer of Florida Politics<\/a> (and just about solely reported by Gary Rohrer), Warren’s attorneys polled DeSantis’ authorized staff and employees, looking for to make clear what their boss means when he invokes the time period “woke” \u2014 as he so<\/a>\u2026very<\/a>\u2026typically<\/a>\u2026does<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Rohrer notes, the query is a legitimate one on condition that DeSantis sprinkled within the W-word amid the assorted Whereases in the manager order<\/a> that planted Warren within the proverbial nook sporting the proverbial dunce cap.<\/p>\n

“Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ communications director, mentioned ‘woke’ was a ‘slang time period for activism\u2026 progressive activism’ and a basic perception in systemic injustices within the nation,” Rohrer reported. “Ryan Newman, DeSantis’ basic counsel, echoed the half about systemic injustices, particularly concerning the prison justice system.<\/p>\n

“‘To me it means somebody who believes that there are systemic injustices within the prison justice system and on that foundation they will decline to totally implement and uphold the legislation,’ Newman mentioned.”<\/p>\n

The inquiry got here in a still-pending civil case wherein Warren is difficult his suspension on First Amendment grounds. Warren was suspended by DeSantis in August after pledging to not implement Florida’s just lately handed abortion restrictions.<\/p>\n

“Asked what ‘woke’ means extra typically, Newman mentioned ‘it might be the idea there are systemic injustices in American society and the necessity to tackle them,'” based on Rohrer’s report. <\/p>\n

Newman, Rohrer writes, clarified that DeSantis would not share that specific perception \u2014 some extent the governor hammered residence throughout his victory speech final month, when he blasted “woke ideology” and declared that “Florida is the place woke goes to die.”<\/p>\n

As one Twitter person aptly identified<\/a> on Sunday, “It sounds completely different if you apply his personal definition to the slogan[:] ‘Florida: Where addressing systemic injustices in American society goes to die.'”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
