Disclaimer: For this post, the editor is relying on reporting by PolitiFact, but in this case, it seems they might have it right. A few people have taken to TikTok to express their disgust at Republican lawmakers in Florida dancing in the aisles after passing “anti-trans” legislation. PolitiFact says that’s not the case, though:
The dancing went down around 11 a.m., May 2, about 20 minutes before the House started on the day’s agenda, according to footage from The Florida Channel and Twitter.
Music is often played on the state House floor before the legislative session begins, state Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, told PolitiFact.
The House, for example, played the “Star Wars” anthem on May 4, a nod to the informal May the Fourth holiday the movie’s fans celebrate. (“May the Fourth be with you” is a pun on the famous “May the Force be with you” catchphrase.)
May 2 was Boots Day, a themed day on which lawmakers are encouraged to wear boots. To mark the occasion, the House music started with “Cha Cha Slide,” another line dance, before a Democratic lawmaker requested “Cupid Shuffle,” Eskamani said.
Boots Day? That explains it.
At least they were just dancing and not inciting an insurrection, for which they’d be heroes and invited to the White House. Whatever happened to decorum?
