On Tuesday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) stated that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) “has essentially declared war on Wall Street” with his push against environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing and he “doesn’t understand the impact on corporations and businesses who simply want to make sure that they can operate ethically, that they’re making decisions that are going to improve their diversity, improve sustainability,” and improve transparency.
Wasserman Schultz stated, “Not only is it not helping grow our pension plans, Gov. DeSantis has essentially declared war on Wall Street. He really clearly doesn’t understand the impact on corporations and businesses who simply want to make sure that they can operate ethically, that they’re making decisions that are going to improve their diversity, improve sustainability, improve transparency. Those are all values that are good for business. And Gov. DeSantis has declared war on those things. Either he doesn’t understand the positive impact or the bottom line for businesses when they engage in those practices or he’s allergic to them or he’s just decided that culture warrior is his pathway to the White House, or at least to the Republican nomination. It’s damaging our economy here. It’s going to make businesses less likely to locate here.”

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) accusing Governor DeSantis of putting Florida's pensions at risk in her claim that ESG-scoring actually helps the bottom line.
Because we all know that kowtowing to the latest Marxist social and environmental fads have always been good for business.
I thought Dumb-O-Crats wanted to go after Wall Street.
But now that it’s Woke Street, never mind . . .
I’m old enough to remember when democrats campaigned on declaring war on Wall Street.
My, my. How the turn tables?
Lol. This twit is still around? Rats sure love to elect the most evil people they can find
“That’s OUR Wall Street now!”
If it is so great, maybe it should be a felony for any person that is or ever has been a federal employee to invest in any business that does not have strict esg,dei,.. policies in effect
All the right enemies.
There was a time when Democrats claimed they were the party of anti-Wall Street, pro-free speech and anti-war, now they are none of those things and champion the opposite of those issues
This is impossible because I read on FR that Wall Street owns DeSantis.
I informed my investment advisor not to buy those ESGs or whatever the hell they are and he wrote back it was not a part of their thinking.
Just another irrelevant politician that is trying to prove they are still relevant
When did the Dems support Wall Street although they like their donations.
Is it too much to ask to have representatives with at least a smidgen of economic sense?
I'm sure they'll be around here shortly to spin this as an "Attack on American capitalism straight out of the Occupy Wall Street playbook!"
The left used the wash-woman to steal the nomination from the millionaire socialist giving it to cankles then threw her away.....looks like she still hasn’t realized that yet
WOW! Saw a pic (yewwww) of her yesterday. She’s starting to resemble Gollum in Lord of The Rings.
I informed my investment advisor not to buy those ESGs or whatever the hell they are and he wrote back it was not a part of their thinking.
You’re lucky to have him. SEC rules have been changed to allow woke financial advisors to invest in ESG companies over non-ESG companies, even if in conflict with their client’s financial interests. They are protecting woke advisors that invest in wokeism literally at the clients’ expense.
Wokeism isn’t profitable, and has to be subsidized.
It’s almost like the left has become ..probably always was.. worse than what they accused the republican of being.
