In case Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) commitment to fighting the culture war at all levels and genuinely caring about issues and the people they impact wasn’t clear, the creator of the Libs of TikTok account took a moment in her first public interview to express her gratitude to the leader who left her “almost in tears” with an offer to her and her family.
Until the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz had doxxed her, Chaya Raichik had run the Twitter account Libs of TikTok anonymously, working to shine a light on the aspects of liberal culture that are routinely denied merely by sharing unedited content that they themselves had posted. Sitting down with the host of the eponymous “Tucker Carlson Today” on Fox Nation for her first filmed interview, Raichik was asked if anyone had supported her, reached out, or taken her side as she was (and continues to be) targeted by the left as a bigot.
After noting that Carlson himself had done so, the social media maven turned her attention to America’s Governor in the video clip that she shared Tuesday on her account with the caption, “I recently got the opportunity to thank @GovRonDeSantis in person. He was so gracious. Brushed it off. He said ‘of course! You do great work!’ It wasn’t even a question for him. Genuinely a kindhearted person.”

In the clip, Raichik explained, “I will say this: When I was doxxed, someone from Ron DeSantis’ team called me…and she said, ‘The governor wanted me to give you a message.'”
“‘He said if you don’t feel safe–you or your family–if you need a place to go, to hide, to stay–you can come to the governor’s mansion. He said we have a guest house for you and you can come and stay as long as you need,'” she recounted as Carlson expressed his own amazement.
“I was almost in tears,” the resident of California continued, adding, “like he has nothing bigger to do,” leading the host to declare how pleased he was to have asked the question.
“It was incredible,” Raichik effused. “I don’t even have the words for it…so grateful.”
As the interview was making the rounds, DeSantis announced that he would be launching an investigation into a recent performance of “A Drag Queen Christmas” in Fort Lauderdale after it was revealed that there were children in attendance. Explicit drag performances for minors have been just one of the many depraved elements that Raichik has worked to expose and the governor’s office stated matter-of-factly, “Exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida, and such action violates the Department’s licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license. The Department will share any collected evidence with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for potential criminal liability.”
Meanwhile, in a since-deleted tweet, Lorenz continued to deny revealing Libs of TikTok’s identity to the public and wrote, “Chaya Raichik constantly talks about how I ‘doxxed’ her (I did not) while continuing to share photo of me on her doorstep that shows not only the street she lives on, but the exact house she lives at.”
