New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) said he appreciates the job Florida Governor Ron Desantis (R) is doing, but it is not his job to use government to “fix woke.”
Sununu joined CNN’s Erin Burnett Wednesday to discuss topics such as Rep. Geroge Santos (R-NY), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s potential hurdles, and the influence of former President Donald Trump among Republicans.
The host asked the governor about his thoughts on the 2024 presidential race. She noted Trump has declared and pointed out DeSantis is being floated as a candidate.
“Ron DeSantis, as of now, he’s got a record in his state,” she said. “But there’s one thing he seems to be emphasizing, and it is this.”
Burnett aired a series of clips where DeSantis called out “wokeness” at numerous events.
“Is that effective?” she asked Sununu of a video where DeSantis said Florida is where “woke goes to die.”
“There are many in your party saying this touches on a cultural trend,” Burnett added.
Sununu praised DeSantis as a good governor but said he does not believe it is the job of the government to intervene in culture wars.
“I think he’s absolutely right that the wokeness is really invading this culture in a very negative way,” Sununu said. “Now, where we might disagree is should the government come in and fix woke? Well, the government is never useful at coming in and fixing a cultural issue.”

Chris is Deep State. Next!
The POS doesn’t even know there is a battle.
I guess he means education is a cultural issue, and government should not control it?
It’s the government that’s promoting this “culture trend” so it’s rightfully so the governor should be stopping it.
SUNUNU - asleep in his wokeness. WAKE UP, Governor.
Sod off jackass......MYODB and stay the hell out of my state
should the government come in and fix woke?
NO, the Government is supposed to Prevent a small group of deranged lunatics with perverted fantasies from imposing and mandating their fringe sexually deviant beliefs on the rest of society
And for your needless remark Chrissy, you win one stab in the back of Governor DeSantis.
His wonderful father vouched for the arch-leftist David Souter from the NH courts as a rock-ribbed “conservative”. That really played out well from Day One this imposter was on the Supreme Court, didn’t it? Mr. Sununu, stay up in blue New England, you fit right in.
” not his job to use government to “fix woke.””
wrong
It is precisely the job of overnment to tackle large issues, that affect large numbers of people, with tools the average Joe/Jane/J?? could never muster.
Biz is their to make money. Follow the rules, but make money.
Owners of a business expect an income, or increased value.
If Corporations follow a path that is NOT in the owners (Stockholders) best interest, through some horseshiite “stakeholder equity” plan, then heads need to roll.
yep, another Sununu wanker
Conceding the cultural field and education to the left is what put us where we are now.
I know some of these idiots are in liberal states.
Still it’s a ridiculous statement because the woke and equity movements affect just about every government department and policy.
as ‘woke-ism’ now includes normalizing pedophilia...
you better believe shutting that crap down is EVERY MAN’S OBLIGATION
just be happy we’re not using the chipper
Another neoCON scumbag traitor telling the only ones fighting against communism to lay down their arms.
Ok, if not DeSantis, then maybe a bunch of dads with ARs?
“Woke” is the new subjugation attempt by the left. It infringes individual liberty, abrogates the first amendment in a number of ways, and is a tyranny of the highest order.
Sununu has significant mental issues and should not be taken seriously.
In the populace? It really isn’t. In the government? It absolutely is.
