Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is diving back into the culture war, opening his remarks at Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate with extensive comments about transgender youth.
"I did a bill in Florida to stop the gender mutilation of minors. It's child abuse and it's wrong," DeSantis said. "If you're not willing to stand up for the kids, if you're not willing to stand up and say that it is wrong to mutilate these kids, then you're not going to fight for the people back home."
