Organizers of an event claim the Museum of Jewish Heritage banned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis from speaking.
A Jewish museum in NYC that's hosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio backed out of hosting an event where Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was a scheduled speaker, according to two organizers of an event originally scheduled to be held there next month.
The Museum of Jewish Heritage agreed to host an annual event for Tikvah, a Jewish educational and cultural institution, called the Jewish Leadership Conference, on June 12, which was in the works for months, according to the organizers.
But, according to an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal co-authored by Tikvah chairman, Elliott Abrams, and CEO, Eric Cohen, once the museum discovered the list of some 15 speakers included Florida's firebrand governor, the museum issued an ultimatum: it's either DeSantis or us.
"We were working closely with the museum on the details for the June 12 event — until, out of the blue, we were told by the museum staff that Mr. DeSantis didn't 'align with the museum's values and its message of inclusivity.' Either we disinvite the governor, they said, or our event was unwelcome,"
