'So I'm not going to to comment on the travel advisory specifically, but I'll say this broadly and where we have been as administration as the White House, we've been outspoken about the impact of misguided policies' in the state, she said.
'Lawmakers in Florida have attacked diversity and inclusion efforts and limited the teaching of black history, and they have launched attacks on LGBT, immigrants, educators, and women's reproductive freedom. That's what you have seen from lawmakers in Florida,' she said.
