Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., joined forces with 18 GOP governors to reject President Joe Biden's environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) "agenda," claiming the push is a "direct threat" to the economic freedom of American retirees.
Governors in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming formed the alliance Thursday in what they described as an effort to ensure American retirement funds are not used for "woke" investments.
"Yet again, President Biden put his political agenda above the wellbeing and individual freedoms of hardworking Americans," the Republican governors wrote. "We as freedom loving states can work together and leverage our state pension funds to force change in how major asset managers invest the money of hardworking Americans, ensuring corporations are focused on maximizing shareholder value, rather than the proliferation of woke ideology."
"The proliferation of ESG throughout America is a direct threat to the American economy, individual economic freedom, and our way of life, putting investment decisions in the hands of the woke mob to bypass the ballot box and inject political ideology into investment decisions, corporate governance, and the everyday economy," the states said.

You are not very bright.
That was a vote on TPA, not TPP. Big difference.
Maybe you should comprehend more and spout less.
TPP never even came up for a vote. Trump pulled out from negotiations.
You are not informed and represent the typical Trump supporter....all talk, no substance.
Lolz ok
Yes!
So nice to see a real leader in action.
Here we go...here is this poster’s real agenda.
I said on here a month ago that the ugly biased bigots who hate Catholics would come out strong against DeSantis.
They are sewing up new white cloaks and pointy hoods as we speak.
And checking their torch supply.
And here I thought that Jack Chick was dead! 😹😜😱🥳👽
Yeah, right? Governor DeSantis is the most conservative candidate I've seen WHO ACTUALLY HAS A CHANCE AT WINNING since Ronald Reagan himself, maybe even more so, and he's getting savaged here on Free Republic (of all places) because he dares to challenge a man who banned guns, spent like a drunk Democrat, and now throws gay parties at Mar-a-Lago.
Only Trump has a chance, Desantis none.
Posted three weeks before the 2020 election when Christians had the choice between voting for Donald Trump or Joe Biden.
Christians today have more choices, including supporting a man who is an actual, practicing Christian, devoted husband, father, and veteran.
Not to mention an actual conservative.
Well said.
LOL! You don’t mean Ron DeSantis do you? They all have their faults.
Desantis is playing in the BUSHES! No thanks.
We don’t need JEB! Around to continue to damage the Country either.
BS. He’s no more Deep State than Trump is.
Uses his power to bust up the leftists and their priorities.
Maybe revive Trumpkins?
You are pretty much on target. I am willing to bet the if FR was around in the Reagan days, many FReepers would be denouncing the actor from Kalifornia.
I used to be very certain that the “cult of personality” mindless complex was nearly a complete a fault of leftist mentality. I am not so sure about that any more.
