Ron DeSantis Banned From New York Jewish Museum In The Name of ‘Inclusivity’

They might want to check the definition of “inclusivity” one more time.

Elliott Abrams and Eric Cohen, co-chairs of the annual Jewish Leadership Conference, revealed in a Wall Street Journal commentary that the group has been blackballed from hosting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage.

The JLC had planned to host DeSantis as a keynote speaker for the June 12 conference. The conservative governor would have spoken about the development of Florida’s Jewish community.

Florida has one of the largest Jewish populations in the country, a community that has grown since DeSantis took office.

Weeks before the conference, the Museum of Jewish Heritage told the JLC that DeSantis was unwelcome on its premises.

It said that the popular governor doesn’t “align with the museum’s values and its message of inclusivity,” according to Abrams and Cohen.

The museum claimed that hosting the Florida governor would be too “political” when pressed on the motive for the ban, but its concern about partisanship seems to only run one way.

The museum has previously hosted progressive stars such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Chuck Schumer and former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Abrams and Cohen are pointing to the cancellation as an acute irony, questioning why a Jewish museum that documents the history of intolerance is barring a popular American governor from speaking at its facility.
