Here’s something we missed in our House Oversight Committee meeting coverage Wednesday. Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida, who’s best known for being only 26 and a sitting congressman, is trying to make himself known as the next AOC: loud, liberal, and underinformed. Florida’s Voice reports that Frost suggested during Wednesday’s committee meeting that the committee bring in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s been abusing his power to limit free speech.
Florida’s Voice reports:
During the GOP House Oversight Committee meeting Wednesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-FL, floated the idea of bringing in governors, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis, to testify for “limiting free speech.”
The hearing is the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s “first step in examining the coordination between the federal government and Big Tech to restrict protected speech and interfere in the democratic process.”
“I have a venue in my district that he’s revoking the liquor license of trying to close because they had a drag show. We have teachers who are not able to teach the curriculum that they want because they disagree with Ron DeSantis and his view of the world,” Frost said.
At least part of that is true. DeSantis is threatening to revoke the liquor licenses of a couple of venues that allowed minors into the sexually explicit “Drag Queen Christmas” tour. DeSantis warned them it was their responsibility to keep children out.

They allowed kids into a sexually explicit drag show.
In #Florida we protect our kids from #dragshows, #groomers & politicians like @MaxwellFrostFL.

Dude, your office phones haven't worked since you were sworn in. Maybe DO YOUR JOB. I say stop paying this entire office until they're accessible

It has taken less than a month for Frost to prove he's just another opportunistic shill looking to use the people's seat to grandstand in furtherance of his radical political agenda

Haha. He should definitely do this.

Do it! I think Frost will regret it immediately.

Oh! So, he's a masochist?!

DeSantis would eat them for lunch if they called him in front of their committee.

What speech is DeSantis allegedly limiting?
— David Sanders (@Sandersd84) February 8, 2023
If they bring in DeSantis it’s not going to have the outcome @MaxwellFrostFL believes it will.

They’ll get some good video clips for DeSantis campaign ads.
