The LA Dodgers' LGBTQ Pride Night turned controversial when an activist group that offended the religious right was invited. But their claim to have successfully boycotted a Dodgers game for its LGBTQ Pride participation and guests — notably echoed by presidential candidate Ron DeSantis — appears to be false. Ron DeSantis, who recently launched his 2024 presidential bid, tweeted in support of the protesters and claimed the stadium was "virtually empty." "The virtually empty stadium for the game itself was a powerful image," DeSantis said in his tweet. Jareck declined to answer Insider's other questions about the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the protesters.
