DeSantis shares San Francisco poop map in Newsom debate
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Exposes San Francisco’s Dirty Secret
In a fiery debate with California Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t hold back. He pulled out a map, revealing the shocking truth about the public places in San Francisco where human feces have been found.
Mocking Newsom’s claim that California is the ”freedom state,” DeSantis sarcastically acknowledged that indeed, California has its own unique brand of freedom. “You have the freedom to defecate in public. You have the freedom to pitch a tent on Sunset Boulevard. You have the freedom to create a homeless encampment under a freeway and even light it on fire. You have the freedom to have an open-air drug market and use drugs. And if you’re an illegal alien, you have the freedom to enjoy taxpayer benefits,” DeSantis declared.
Newsom, in response, sarcastically dismissed DeSantis’s remarks, accusing him of criminalizing various professions and making it harder for people to exercise their rights. But DeSantis wasn’t done yet.
He held up a map, highlighting the areas in San Francisco where human feces have been discovered. The map was almost entirely covered in brown, prompting chuckles from Newsom. DeSantis pointed out that the city only bothered to clean up the mess when Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping paid a visit.
“It’s a sad reality that in one of the greatest cities this country has ever had, human feces has become a fact of life, except when a communist dictator comes to town,” DeSantis remarked. ”Then they clean up the streets, line them with Chinese flags, and ignore the needs of their own people.”

How has Florida’s approach to addressing homelessness been successful, and what can California learn from it
Ancisco.
DeSantis aimed to expose what he describes as “San Francisco’s dirty secret,” a city struggling with a severe homelessness crisis. He pointed out that despite its reputation as a progressive haven, San Francisco faces significant challenges when it comes to public health and safety.
As DeSantis unfurled the map in front of Newsom and the audience, he highlighted the numerous tent cities scattered throughout the city. These sprawling encampments are home to thousands of homeless individuals, lacking basic amenities such as sanitation facilities and clean water.
The governor passionately argued that the ensuing public health risks are a direct result of the city’s negligence. He claimed that San Francisco’s policymakers have failed to prioritize the well-being of its citizens, allowing the situation to spiral out of control.
According to DeSantis, the homelessness crisis in San Francisco not only affects the city’s residents but also impacts the entire state of California. He stated that neighboring states such as Florida end up bearing the burden of California’s mismanagement, as many homeless individuals migrate in search of better living conditions.
DeSantis went further, stating that the state’s liberal policies have exacerbated the problem. He argued that the lack of strict law enforcement and lenient drug policies have created an enabling environment for homelessness to persist. DeSantis stressed the importance of a comprehensive approach that includes effective law enforcement, accessible mental health services, and addiction treatment programs.
Newsom, faced with the stark reality presented by DeSantis, attempted to deflect by pointing out Florida’s own issues with homelessness. However, DeSantis swiftly responded by highlighting Florida’s successful initiatives geared towards addressing homelessness and ensuring public safety.
Florida’s approach has focused on finding long-term solutions rather than merely managing the crisis. Their programs emphasize providing individuals with access to affordable housing, job opportunities, and mental health services. By investing in these initiatives, the state has been able to significantly reduce its homeless population.
DeSantis called on Newsom to learn from Florida’s example, urging him to implement similar measures to combat homelessness in California. He emphasized the need for leaders to prioritize public safety and the well-being of their constituents rather than adhering to partisan ideologies.
As the debate concluded, the stark contrast between the two governors’ approaches became evident. DeSantis exposed what he believes to be San Francisco’s dirty secret, shedding light on a city grappling with a severe homelessness crisis that has lasting implications for both its residents and neighboring states.
DeSantis’s message serves as a reminder that addressing homelessness is not merely a local issue but requires the concerted efforts of state authorities. It is a call to action for policymakers across the country to prioritize comprehensive solutions that go beyond temporary fixes to create lasting change.
Only time will tell if DeSantis’s words prompt a meaningful response from California’s leaders. However, his bold move to expose San Francisco’s dirty secret has undoubtedly sparked a crucial conversation about the urgent need for effective homelessness strategies across the United States.
