Actress refers to DeSantis as "Grand Wizard" during Tony Award presentationhttps://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2023/06/12/actress-refers-to-desantis-as-grand-wizard-during-tony-award-presentation-n557325The Tony Awards were held Sunday night and televised live on CBS and Paramount+. I did not watch the show but a tweet caught my eye. It had to do with an actress and a Ku Klux Klan reference to Governor Ron DeSantis.
Actress Denee Benton was on stage to present the Excellence in Theatre Education Award from Carnegie Mellow University. The 2023 recipient of the award is Jason Zembuch Young of South Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida. In her remarks leading up to the award presentation, Benton noted that she is a CMU alum and that she is from Florida.
Then she launched into a random attack on the governor of her home state, because, of course, she did. He is a Republican running for president so he must be attacked in the most vile way on a broadcast going out to the country, and the world, via live television.
If he doesn't ignore her, DeSantis should thank Benton for her ringing endorsement. Stupidity like that
needs to be attacked and mocked.
