Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state would go through a 'Cold War' if Democrat Stacey Abrams wins Georgia's 2022 governor's race.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday, DeSantis, a Republican, likened Abrams' liberal policies to that of communist Cuba, saying Florida would be caught between far-left leaders.
'If Stacey Abrams is elected governor of Georgia, I just want to be honest, that will be a Cold War between Florida and Georgia at that point,' DeSantis said
Despite DeSantis' reference to Castro - whether he was referring to Cold War leader Fidel or his brother Raul who took over in 2011, neither Castro is currently in power as Cuba is headed by president Miguel Diaz-Canel.
A spokesperson for DeSantis' office told Newsweek that he was simply making an analogy to the differences between how DeSantis runs Florida and how Georgia would run should Abrams win.
'If Stacey Abrams wins the governorship of Georgia, we know that her approach to leadership will involve more heavy-handed government, taxes and bureaucrat influence,' the spokesperson said.
Abrams' campaign did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
Abrams launched her second bid for Georgia's governor's office in December after claiming Republican Gov. Brian Kemp 'rigged' the 2018 election.
She said the state had been subject to widespread voter suppression, and after the election, she focused her activist efforts on expanding voting rights.
Her organization, Fair Fight, has raised $100 million and built a statewide political operation that registered hundreds of thousands of new voters in Georgia.

Hes better off not mentioning her, dont give the Leftists a person to rally against. This never works.
Correct. But still it was funny.
The Republicans need to rally in Georgia. So DeSantis may be encouraging them just to do that
I don’t know if I’d want to challenge Stacey Abrams to a cold war; she looks awfully well insulated.
Her shadow doesn’t cause Global Cooling?
No, but her weight has such a gravitational force that many smaller obese women are caught in her orbit.
I really like this guy. :)
Dominion and ballot boxes have the final word in America.
We can all hope that lardass Abrams will choke on a couple jumbo stacks of pancakes before the election. She’s not governor material.
Abrams was the source for the fake ballots in the Zuker boxes. That still hasn’t played out. She could be in trouble if someone in Georgia followed the law.
Considering the Sos and that traitor Kemp were involved, Nothing will happen
Better not run Kemp.
May not happen if Kemp is the GOP candidate
How can you not love this guy.
Why does she want to be Governor of Georgia? She’s already the President of Earth.
Why does she want to be Governor of Georgia? She’s already the President of Earth.
Because in the GA Constitution it says (I for get which section), that the Governor shall pay no fees whilst dining at any all-you-can-eat buffet.

desantis for florida governor 2022...
If Tank Woman wins the governorship, she will use it as a stepping stone in her quest to be President of the United Earth as seen on TV.
