(AP Photo\/Brynn Anderson)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 8:03 AM PT \u2013 Monday, May 24, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis (R=Fla.) headlined the Allegheny County GOP\u2019s annual Lincoln Day Dinner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Florida Republican recently highlighted some of the major issues facing the U.S. such as the crisis festering at the southern border, pandemic-related lockdowns and the mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis said the GOP can not go back to the \u201cfailed Republican establishment of yester-year.\u201d He touted his efforts to ensure Floridian\u2019s freedoms were secure during the pandemic and fought to keep his state open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile in all these locked down states closed schools, shuttered businesses and destroyed lives were the norm,\u201d he stated. \u201cIn Florida we have had schools open the entire school year. Our businesses are thriving and we saved millions of livelihoods from the brunt of lockdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis discussed Florida\u2019s response to the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots last summer, highlighting his state\u2019s work to back the blue and allocate necessary funding to law enforcement. The governor also pointed to the state\u2019s decision to ban critical race theory in Florida\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in Florida, we have banned the use of critical race theory and other leftist ideologies,\u201d he stated. \u201cTeaching people to hate their country or to hate each other is not worth one dime of tax payer dollars in our school system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis talked about the legacy of Silicon Valley, pointing out the origins of social media were good for the GOP as it gave members a platform President Trump used effectively in 2016 to get elected. He went on to note, however, that Big Tech is now smothering free speech and highlighted his state\u2019s work to fight back against censorship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin the next couple of weeks, I will sign the first piece of legislation that any state has done to fight back against Big Tech censorship to allow you, if your censored or de-platformed, to sue Big Tech,\u201d he explained. \u201c\u2026To make sure that their algorithms and the things they are using\u2026all these other things that effect our lives everyday in ways\u2026is transparent.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, Floridians are being guaranteed protection against the Silicon Valley power grab on speech, thought, and content.

Bush\u2019s push for an amnesty coalition. He condemned Bush\u2019s attempts to lobby Republicans into helping the Biden administration pass amnesty for around 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to reject open borders we have to stand for the rule of law in American sovereignty and we cannot be for amnesty in any form,\u201d he asserted. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to stand with the American people and we have to put Americans first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 comments come amid recent polling that shows Bush\u2019s veiled attempt to revive his failed \u201cAny Willing Worker\u201d policy is widely unpopular among Republican voters.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor ended his speech by encouraging the crowd to not back down and to stand their ground, noting he has only just begun to fight.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/minority-farmer-loan-forgiveness-program-to-allocate-4b-in-payments-as-part-of-american-rescue-plan\/\">Minority Farmer Loan Forgiveness Program To Allocate $4B In Payments As Part Of American Rescue Plan<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
