Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, a DeSantis ally, announced last week that the Sunshine Sate was pulling out $2 billion from asset manager BlackRock. That firm has morphed into one of the most pernicious institutional forces pushing a radical political agenda upon American businesses.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink acts as an enforcer for leftist ruling class schemes, such as extremist "sustainability" provisions and aggressive corporate intrusion into hot-button social issues that are unrelated to business. Texas Senator Ted Cruz has assailed Fink's tactics: "That's not capitalism, that's abusing the market." Cruz continued, warning that Fink's radical globalist agenda is "destroying jobs, helping America's enemies, and hurting America."
