Florida Gov. DeSantis promotes new Gadson Flag License Plate - “‘Don’t Tread on Me’ or Florida.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took to Twitter last week to promote the state’s new license plate design.

The new plate features the slogan “Don’t Tread On Me” accompanied by a black coiled rattlesnake over a yellow background.

The “Dont Tread On Me” slogan, which is also known as the Gadsden flag, was first flown on a warship in 1775 as a battle cry for American independence from British taxation and rule

DeSantis meanwhile has claimed on Twitter that the plate is intended to send a clear message to out-of-state cars, “‘Don’t Tread on Me’ or Florida.”

But not everyone agreed with the governor’s promotional tweet.

One (liberal shill) said, “Stop calling us the free state of Florida, if that were true I’d be able to do my job as a teacher and create a safe space for all kids,” referring to the governor’s Parental Rights in Education law.

Another (leftist shill) said, “what’s next the Confederate Flag? Plenty of other symbols can be used to benefit Veterans.”
