The left's 'don't say gay' lie about Florida law

 Daily Wire:

NBC News reporter Marc Caputo laid into the news media for inaccurately dubbing Florida’s Parental Rights in Education act the “don’t say gay” bill, noting that the legislation doesn’t say “don’t say gay,” but bans the instruction on sexual orientation and so-called gender identity for kindergarten through third grade students in the state.

“While legislative intent does matter, what does also matter, when you challenge legislation, is you first have to look at the four corners of the document, and see what it actually says,” Caputo said on the air, referring to the Parental Rights in Education Act.

“The bill does not say, ‘don’t say gay,'” he explained. “It says, don’t teach about these issues, in general. So, you know, the reality is, ‘don’t say gay’ is technically not an accurate description.”

Caputo noted of a reporter who pressed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on the bill and was smacked down by the governor, presumably for inaccurately framing the bill.

“[DeSantis] bit your head off,” Caputo told the fellow reporter. “He sees an opportunity here for the news media to not live up to its own standards.”

The reporter highlighted the Left’s “efforts” to call out so-called “lies” from from former President Donald Trump, but are not doing so with the Florida bill.

It looks like the left came up with a script they liked about their opposition to the Florida law that was too clever by half and exposed them as not a reliable source on the issue.
