Scott Yenor, a professor and conservative activist appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to chair a Florida university board, is facing criticism for his remarks about Jews, women, and other groups. Yenor made a series of tweets counting the number of Jews, women, seniors, and gay lawmakers among Senate Democrats and lamenting the lack of 'straight, white non-Jews' available to lead or reform the party. Yenor's comments have drawn bipartisan rebuke and have led to his removal from consideration for a separate position on a research board affiliated with the university. Despite the criticism, DeSantis has continued to defend Yenor against accusations of antisemitism.
