Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is using a new slogan to fire up his supporters — a “Don’t Tread on Florida” sign featuring the state’s signature reptile.
DeSantis’ supporters waved yellow signs modeled after the Gadsden flag, a Revolutionary War-era banner that has become popular with conservative groups. Instead of a coiled rattlesnake, DeSantis’ version has an alligator.
The governor unveiled the sign during an event Thursday calling for a special legislative session to address COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the workplace.
