Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a stronger spine than nearly every other current leader in this nation, which he demonstrated again this week by standing up for women instead of pandering to woke organizations like the NCAA over transgender ideology.

Watch him tell Tucker Carlson that he'll stand for women despite the threats of the woke:

Here's the money quote if you don't have time to watch the whole exchange:

What was interesting, Tucker, I think as these bills were going through various legislatures, I remember the NCAA put out a statement saying any state that enacts this, we're not going to hold events there. And so I called the Speaker of the House in Florida and I said, ‘did you hear what they said?' And he's like, ‘yeah,' I said, we definitely got to get this done. You can't be cowed by these organizations, or particularly by woke corporations from doing the right thing.

And so my view was throughout this whole time, we have to protect our girls, it is discriminatory to force them to compete against biological males. And so if the price of having a tournament is that I have to deny equal opportunity to hundreds of thousands of young girl and women athletes throughout Florida, I am much more willing to stand with the girls. And to hell with these events.

The governor also mentioned the case of Selina Soule, one of several top female athletes suing the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference.

Then, just to make sure that he triggered all of the woke in the land, he mentioned Florida's new election integrity law, making sure to note that it was more robust than Georgia's, which drew national outcry from woke corporations and leftist politicians.

What I think we've shown not just with this, but you know, we did a strong election integrity bill in Florida, actually stronger than Georgia. And we just made it clear. We're standing with our folks, we're gonna do the right thing. And so if corporations want to come in and try to bully us around, they are going to go nowhere. It's going to be like hitting their head against a brick wall.

Since Disney and Marvel have gone woke, I'm pretty sure DeSantis is our real-life Captain America now.
