EXCERPT:
HEILEMANN: "Well, Joe, I mean you can’t — I mean you truly can’t overstate it. You know, I have been in Florida this week, right, in Tallahassee for all this DeSantis stuff, and just on this one issue, talking to Democratic legislators, members of the House, members of the Senate, Republican legislators, members of the House, members of the Senate, the way in which these particular charges, the notion — I mean, you had Disneyland — Disney World is not just being attacked, it is being portrayed as pedo world. That’s what those protests were over the weekend. The language of pedophilia and grooming, as you just suggested, it is not an isolated case. I know you're saying it is, but I’m stunned, I mean truly stunned that in Tallahassee and all over the state of Florida there’s not a congressional race, there’s not a state legislative race in which the Democrat in that race is not, by someone, an outside group, voter or opponents or the strategist for an opponent, being accused, if they oppose any element of the DeSantis culture war agenda, being accused either implicitly or explicitly of being on the side of pedophiles or themselves being a groomer.“
