WATCH: Actress Calls DeSantis ‘Grand Wizard’ At Tony Awards As Left-Wing Audience Cheers

In an act deserving of a dramatic eye roll, this year’s Tony Awards was turned into a political stage with actress Denée Benton taking a theatrical jab at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. On Sunday night, Benton controversially referred to DeSantis as a ‘Grand Wizard’ during her speech.

The liberal audience present at the event appeared to endorse her comment with cheers and applause.

Benton said, “While I am certain that the current Grand Wizard, I’m sorry, excuse me, Governor of my home state of Florida will be changing… I am sure that he will be changing the name of this following town immediately.”

WATCH:


The term ‘Grand Wizard’ is historically associated with the leader of the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group in the United States. Benton’s usage of the term was a clear swipe at the Governor and his policies. Hollywood continues to be the new venue for launching political potshots rather than celebrating prowess.

REACTIONS:

NOTHING!!!

They are using the same playbook they used on Trump on DeSantis.

Anyone who thinks the left won't go after him just as hard is kidding themselves.

And this is being celebrated by attendees shows how morally bankrupt we have become.
