Aside from that, I find it weird that the governor of a state has repeatedly spoken on behalf of the entire state illegitimately declaring what is and isn't welcomed in the state. In the past, he said something about Florida is where woke goes to die. It's a weird thing to do because the governor is the lead executive of a state government, not the cultural voice of the entire state. As far as I can tell, the state legislature decides who and what is welcomed in a state through laws. Aside from that, the population itself would be its own voice. Am I wrong? Does any other governor do that?

Disclaimer: I don't disagree with the Andrew Tate thing, but I find it weird that a governor is making these statements.
