纽约市周一早上，在这位共和党明星访问斯塔滕岛之前，市长埃里克·亚当斯(Eric Adams)用一条讽刺性的推特问候了佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)。
民主党人亚当斯在德桑蒂斯问题上与佛罗里达州州长多次不和向东北输送移民和该州所谓的“不要说同性恋”法律。亚当斯在他的推文中挑出了几个共和党的谈话要点，因为他“欢迎”州长-2024年可能的总统候选人。
亚当斯说:“欢迎来到纽约，@GovRonDeSantis，在这个地方，我们不会禁止书籍，不会歧视我们的LGBTQ+邻居，不会把寻求庇护者当作道具，也不会让政府站在女人和医疗保健之间。”书写。
“当你在这里的时候，我们很高兴教你一些关于价值观的东西，”他补充道。
周一早上，德桑蒂斯在斯塔滕岛会见了当地执法人员。和他一起的还有前纽约国会议员李·泽尔丁，他在激烈的州长竞选中输给了民主党人凯西·霍楚尔。
德桑蒂斯周一表示:“我们在佛罗里达州做得很好，我的信息是——如果你不再抱有幻想，如果你认为无论你在哪里，事情都不会好转，不只是在纽约，无论在哪里，只要知道有一个州做得很好。”“有一个国家会重视你的服务，更重要的是，不仅仅是像我这样的人出去做这件事。”
去年4月，亚当斯和德桑蒂斯陷入了一场关于父母教育权利法案的口水战，该法案因禁止向年轻学生教授LGBT+问题而被称为“不要说同性恋”法案。亚当斯说他计划竖起广告牌在佛罗里达州，鼓励人们搬到城市，如果他们被当时的法案，德桑蒂斯已签署成为法律。
德桑蒂斯说亚当斯浪费纳税人的钱，尽管亚当斯澄清广告牌将由私人捐赠。
“我喜欢和其他州竞争，”亚当斯去年四月说。“佛罗里达可以放马过来。...纽约是一个值得去的地方，尤其是“不要说同性恋”"
亚当斯去年9月也对德桑蒂斯提出了尖锐的批评，当时他将向东北部运送移民称为“政治噱头”。
亚当斯说:“我认为真正体现这种政治噱头的是佛罗里达州州长。”在一个不相关的新闻发布会上当被问及这个问题时。“他与此事无关。我是说，他派飞机去玛莎葡萄园岛的目的是什么。他只是觉得好像他想进入这个可怕的行动。”
斯塔滕岛是纽约市政治光谱中经常右倾的一个区。这个位于新泽西州海岸的岛屿由前总统唐纳德·特朗普的坚定支持者妮可·马利托基斯(Nicole Malliotakis)代表。
Malliotakis也在亚当斯当选美国最大城市市长之前的竞选中竞选市长。她轻易地输给了现任总统比尔·白思豪。
虽然德桑蒂斯尚未宣布参选，但人们普遍认为他是特朗普在2024年共和党提名中的头号竞争对手。
NYC Mayor Eric Adams takes shot at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of visit to Staten Island
New York City Mayor Eric Adams greeted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with a sarcastic tweet Monday morning ahead of the GOP star's visit to the borough of Staten Island.
Adams, a Democrat, has feuded with the Florida governor repeatedly over DeSantis sending migrants to the Northeast and the state's so-called "Don't Say Gay" law. Adams singled out several GOP talking points in his tweet as he "welcomed" the governor -- a possible presidential candidate in 2024.
"Welcome to NYC, @GovRonDeSantis, a place where we don’t ban books, discriminate against our LGBTQ+ neighbors, use asylum seekers as props, or let the government stand between a woman and health care," Adams wrote.
"We’re happy to teach you something about values while you’re here," he added.
DeSantis met with local law enforcement in Staten Island on Monday morning. He was joined by Lee Zeldin, the former New York congressman who lost a heated battle for governor to Democrat Kathy Hochul.
"We're doing it right in Florida, and my message is -- if you're disenchanted, if you don't think things are gonna turn around wherever you are, not just in New York, wherever, just know that there's a state that that's doing it right," DeSantis said Monday. "There's a state that that will value your service and more importantly than just someone like me going out there and doing it."
Last April, Adams and DeSantis got into a war of words over the Parents Rights in Education bill, known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill for its ban on teaching young students about LGBT+ issues. Adams said he planned to put up billboards in Florida to encourage people to move to the city if they were offended by the then-bill, which DeSantis has since signed into law.
DeSantis said Adams was wasting taxpayer dollars, though Adams clarified the billboards would be donated by private individuals.
"I like rivalries with other states," Adams said last April. "Florida can bring it on. ... New York is the place to be, specifically with the 'Don't Say Gay.'"
Adams also made pointed criticism of DeSantis last September when he labeled the busing of migrants to the Northeast as "a political stunt."
"I thought what really personified that political stunt is the governor of Florida," Adams said at an unrelated press conference when asked about the issue. "He had nothing to do with it. I mean, what was his purpose of sending a planeload to Martha's Vineyard. He just felt as though he wanted to get into this horrendous action."
Staten Island is the one borough in New York City that regularly leans right on the political spectrum. The island, off the coast of New Jersey, is represented by Nicole Malliotakis, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump.
Malliotakis also ran for mayor in the race that immediately preceded Adams' election to head up the biggest city in the country. She lost handily to incumbent Bill de Blasio.
While he has yet to announce a run, DeSantis is generally assumed to be Trump's top rival for the GOP nomination in 2024.
