Radical Right Wing Republican Ron DeSantis Rigged and stole House of Representative Seats from Democrats by Gerrymandering.

Florida Republican Gov DeSantis pushes redistricting map that splits up Black voters

DeSantis’ proposed map also splits up Black voters around the Orlando area and proposes the creation of 18 Republican-leaning and eight Democrat-leaning seats, helping to eliminate Democrats’ national redistricting advantage.

Florida Republican Gov DeSantis dissolved 4 black voting districts (violating the Florida constitution), helped House Republicans obtain a undeserved, rigged Majority.

This type of Election Rigging is DESTROYING Democracy and Freedom in the United States and is why ALL REPUBLICANS should be voted OUT.

Republicans couldn’t hold a majority in the United States House of Representatives without Gerrymandering. The only way they can “win” is by CHEATING and RIGGING elections in their favor.

Gerrymandering, a legal form of vote stealing, more entrenched now than ever

Republicans, who control a substantial majority of state legislatures, benefit significantly.

Per the above article: “In June 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a unanimous U.S. District Court decision that partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Although Chief Justice John Roberts acknowledged that the practice leads to results that “reasonably seem unjust,” he maintained that partisan gerrymandering is a “political question,” beyond the reach of federal courts. Each state, Roberts indicated, should manage its own redistricting process.

Four justices dissented. In an emotional statement, which she read from the bench, Elena Kagan warned, “Left unchecked as the court does today, gerrymanderers like these may irreparably damage our system of government.”

The GOP’s Bid to Claim a Rigged House Majority

Voters repudiated the GOP congressional agenda. Court-sanctioned gerrymanders made sure it didn’t matter.

Per the above article: “An aggressive—and likely unconstitutional—partisan and racial gerrymander demanded by Governor Ron DeSantis helped provide Republicans with four of those seats from Florida alone. Maps that likely violated Voting Rights Act (VRA) protections against racial gerrymanders were allowed to proceed in Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana”.

“Pretty soon, these gift-wrapped seats begin to add up, especially when the national voting margins seem to be tight. Four seats in Florida, three across the Deep South, another handful from Texas and Ohio, one in Wisconsin, a pickup in Iowa won from playing hardball with the state’s independent commission, one in Arizona from hijacking that state’s “independent” in name only commission, another gain in Tennessee by cracking Nashville in half: More than a dozen newly Republican seats came not from ousting Democratic incumbents but by redrawing districts to their advantage”.

Governor tainting Congressional maps

Despite state and federal laws designed to ensure voting equity and access. Gov. Ron DeSantis interjects partisanship into Congressional redistricting.

Per the above article: “The nonpartisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project, which analyzes redistricting nationwide to understand and eliminate partisan gerrymandering, rates DeSantis’ plan an “F” for partisan fairness. But that was the whole idea, to tilt the board to favor his party, rather than follow the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 and Florida’s Fair Districts amendments, which were meant to prevent such undemocratic game-playing.

If DeSantis follows through on his promise to veto the Florida Legislature’s maps and pushes the issue into the courts, he gains a chance to skew elections for years to come, if he succeeds in toppling precedents that favor fairness to minority voters.

A righteous politician might support policies that win votes by advocating equity and opportunity for all. In other words, if DeSantis and his party just did the right thing, they wouldn’t have to cheat. Instead our governor crafts ever-more-intricate ways to shunt minorities away from ballot boxes.

The maneuver follows a wave of voter suppression efforts across Florida and the nation to make ballot drop boxes less accessible, to add voter identification burdens where there’s no hint of fraud and to make it difficult or illegal for voters’ rights groups to pick up and drop off ballots for the elderly and infirm.

There’s one reason for all of this and one reason alone: African-Americans know that by and large, Republican candidates don’t have their interests in mind, so Republicans seek out every slimy, legalistic way they can to minimize those likely Democratic votes”.

Analysis: Ron DeSantis is drawing Democrats out of the equation in Florida | CNN Politics

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed an aggressively partisan redrawing of the state’s congressional boundaries that will likely help his party pick up four seats in the House this November. Here’s what experts have to say about this type of gerrymandering.

Per the above article: “Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed an aggressively partisan redrawing of the state’s congressional boundaries that will likely help his party pick up four seats in the US House of Representatives this November.

CNN’s Steve Contorno reports: “Like previous maps submitted by DeSantis’ office, the latest offering would likely reduce the number of districts where Black voters are a plurality and would make it difficult for Democrats to win anywhere north of Orlando or outside major cities.”

The consequences for the country are severe. Lawmakers in both parties speaking candidly admit that gerrymandering House districts is one of the big reasons that the chamber has become more partisan over the last several decades”.

Florida Lawmaker Says Gerrymandered State Maps Are Part of Racist Strategy, “Not Just a Culture War”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a gerrymandered voting map that virtually guarantees Republicans four more seats in Congress while likely cutting the number of Black Democrats elected. The measure passed along party lines Thursday but was delayed when Black Florida lawmakers staged an impromptu sit-in protest. “Republicans cannot continue to disenfranchise Black voters,” says state Senator Shevrin Jones, a Democratic member of Florida’s Legislative Black Caucus who took part in the protest and who calls the gerrymandering part of a larger suite of “racist tactics” enacted by Republicans across the country.

DeSantis Wants to Bar Federal Election Monitors From Florida’s Bluest Counties

The DOJ is sending monitors to polling places to ensure federal election laws are being followed.

Per the above article: “Far right Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is attempting to bar federal monitors from being able to enter polling places in Florida to ensure federal election laws are being followed in some of the state’s most Democratic-leaning counties, saying that only his administration’s supposed election monitors will be allowed in.

Due to uncertainty and fear around election safety as armed right-wing vigilantes have swarmed early polling places, the Justice Department (DOJ) announced that it would be increasing the number of polling places it will send officials to monitor from 44 in 2020 to 64 this year. The DOJ’s list of polling places includes three counties in Florida — Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach — that have among the highest concentrations of Democrats in the state.

The purpose of the DOJ officials’ presence, the agency says, is to “monito[r] elections in the field in jurisdictions around the country to protect the rights of voters.” It says that the agency has monitored elections in the field in some capacity since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

But DeSantis’s administration sent an aggressively-worded letter to DOJ officials on Monday night, signed by Florida Department of State Chief Counsel Brad McVay, saying that Florida officials will not allow federal monitors to enter the polling sites, even though Florida does give other “law enforcement” officials access to polling places.

Over the past few months, DeSantis has been at the forefront of some of the most aggressively fascist anti-voting initiatives among Republicans nationwide; earlier this year, for instance, Republicans in the Florida legislature passed a bill at DeSantis’s behest that allows him to appoint his own election police force.

Those police have been used to intimidate voters who have been convicted of felonies — even if they are still eligible to vote — as a way to scare away formerly incarcerated people from attempting to vote or register to vote.

Earlier this year, DeSantis also ousted an elected official from office for criticizing him, appointing a far right ally in his place. The decision is being challenged in court, but even if it’s overturned, the move is a show of DeSantis’s willingness to exercise his power in increasingly undemocratic ways to chill dissent in his state”.

Florida Republicans Use Dirty Tricks to Rig 2020 State Elections

CNN reports how Republicans used “dirty tricks” to Rig Three (3) 2020 Florida State Senate Elections with Dark Money and 3rd Party Phantom Candidates.

(Per the article below from CNN) “A month before Election Day in Florida a mysterious company called Proclivity, Inc. contributed $550,000 to a pair of newly formed political action committees in the state. Two days later, the money flowed from the PACs to an Orlando-area print and advertising firm.

Shortly thereafter, came a torrent of nearly identical political fliers seemingly intended to siphon away support from Democratic candidates by tricking voters into casting their ballots for purported spoiler candidates who demonstrated no real interest in getting elected. None, for example, engaged in typical campaigning activities or raised significant funds.
In one case, the mailers appear to have helped a Republican—a co-founder of Latinas For Trump—unseat the Democratic incumbent in a state Senate race by a razor-thin margin of just 32 votes”.

HOW REPUBLICANS RIG ELECTIONS BY GERRYMANDERING

Most Americans are unaware that Republicans has rigged elections in their favor for years to come through gerrymandering.

Republicans began rigging elections in 2010 so they couldn’t be removed from office by hyper-gerrymandering every state they took control of. Republicans injected $30 million, much of it from dark money, often targeting vulnerable blue state Democrats in races that wouldn’t otherwise draw a lot of national funding. The plan was called REDMAP

Through Gerrymandering, Republicans has made it almost impossible to be removed from office in some districts. Since they feel safe from being removed from office, they have no motivation to compromise. They are pursuing radical right wing agendas such as cutting assistance to the poor, cutting planned parenthood funding and passing anti-aborting “War on Women” legislation when the majority of Americans do not support these policies.

The United States constitution is severely flawed when more often than not in the last few elections the majority of people voting for a particular party did not receive their relative representation. Democrats received 20 million more votes in the Senate than Republicans in 2014, yet Republicans won big.

The same occurred in the House of Representatives in 2012.

House Democrats out-earned their Republican counterparts by 1.17 million votes. Read another way, Democrats won 50.59 percent of the two-party vote. Still, they won just 46.21 percent of seats, leaving the Republicans with 234 seats and Democrats with 201.

Even though she has not heard a single case in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Republican lawmakers are talking about impeaching and removing newly-elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz. And thanks to their gerrymandered state legislature, they may have the votes to do it before she can rule on a challenge to the state’s gerrymandered maps.

Republicans poised to rig the next election by gerrymandering electoral maps

A supreme court justice described the last round of gerrymandering as ‘dishonoring US democracy’. Another round is about to start – will this be another ‘political heist’?

Per the above article: “Republicans executed the plan, called Project Redmap, nearly perfectly and took control of 20 legislative bodies, including ones in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Then, Republicans set to work drawing maps that cemented their control on power for the next decade. Working behind closed doors, they were brazen in their efforts.

In Wisconsin, lawmakers signed secrecy agreements and then drew maps that were so rigged that Republicans could nearly hold on to a supermajority of seats with a minority of the vote. In Michigan, a Republican operative bragged about cramming “Dem garbage” into certain districts as they drew a congressional map that advantaged Republicans 9-5. In Ohio, GOP operatives worked secretly from a hotel room called “the bunker”, as they tweaked a congressional map that gave Republicans a 12-4 advantage. In North Carolina, a state lawmaker publicly said he was proposing a map that would elect 10 Republicans to Congress because he did not think it was possible to draw one that would elect 11.

This manipulation, called gerrymandering, “debased and dishonored our democracy”, Justice Elena Kagan would write years later. It allowed Republicans to carefully pick their voters, insulating them from the accountability that lies at the foundation of America’s democratic system. Now, the once-a-decade process is set to begin again in just a few weeks and Republicans are once again poised to dominate it. And this time around things could be even worse than they were a decade ago”.

Republicans have declared WAR on the Truth and Democracy

Trump is a compulsive, pathological liar. With over 30,000 documented false or misleading statements verified by fact checkers, NOTHING he says should be taken seriously or believed.

It is well known that Trump lies, yet Republicans continue to support and defend him further proving Republicans to be LAWLESS and CORRUPT.

In the above video, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”. Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies“.

Desperate that they are LOSING in the polls because their repressive policies are so unpopular (such as anti-abortion laws forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to her rapists child), Republicans invent a NEW conspiracy claiming; “Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you”, “The “IRS is “Joe Biden’s new army” that will “hunt down and kill middle class that don’t pay enough” and Senator Chuck Grassley; “Are they coming for taxpayers with loaded AR-15’s?”.

Republicans are LIARS who will do & say whatever to takes to scare gullible people into voting for them to stay in power. Here’s some of Republican’s FEAR MONGERING tweets…

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele Calls out Republicans Chuck Grassley, Ted Cruz and others for lying about 87,000 IRS Agents coming after Businesses & the Middle Class

This is the same type of fear mongering and lies we heard from Republicans claiming there would be “Death Panels” after President Obama and Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act which gave millions of people Health Care. These are the same Republicans who echoed Trump’s “BIG LIE” that the 2020 Election was “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won in a Landslide”. Believing Republican’s lies can have devastation consequences, such as deaths and incarceration of those who participated in storming the capital.

LIES and FEAR tactics is ALL Republicans have to offer.

The IRS is NOT increasing audits on middle class by hiring 87K new agent

Per the above article; “Republicans have seized on a particularly gross conspiracy theory to justify their ridiculous claim that all of this somehow impacts the personal freedoms of every day Trump voters: “87,000 new IRS agents.”

Less than a week after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced a surprise agreement to pass the bill, Tucker Carlson was hosting segments on Fox News falsely claiming that because a small minority of IRS enforcement agents have to carry guns, Biden is “treating the IRS as a military agency” and “stockpiling” ammunition.

Republicans tried to make it seem personal for their audiences, with the GOP House Judiciary account tweeting, “If they can do it to a former President, imagine what they can do to you.” But as most Americans do not, in fact, have stolen classified documents about the nuclear program stashed in their broom closet, it’s a tough sell. And so a bunch of Republicans immediately seized on the already percolating “87,000 IRS agents” lie and built on it to spin out a conspiracy theory tying Trump’s false accusations of “persecution” to some larger lie about a “deep state” assault on MAGA America.

“The Biden Admin has fully weaponized DOJ & FBI to target their political enemies. And with 87K new IRS agents, they’re coming for YOU too,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., tweeted last Monday, always eager to be out there first with the most shameless Republican rhetoric.

“Who do you think they’ll weaponize the 87,000 IRS agents against? The answer is obvious. Their political enemies,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., tweeted, always eager to beat Cruz in the race to the bottom.

Unsurprisingly, the talking point spread, with the right-wing conspiracy theory machine hyping the idea that IRS agents are about to kick down a door and kidnap your family — and worse, your guns — any minute now. Fox News, always eager to muddy the waters when Trump commits crimes, got heavily involved.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Republicans Are Lying About Social Security

The REPUBLICAN party has NOTHING to offer except LIES, Divisive Social Issues, taking away Women’s Rights, Attacking / Demonizing LGBT’s, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction and other anti-democratic tactics to prevent people from voting who aren’t likely to vote for them, Cutting / Eliminating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and giving Tax Breaks to the RICH.

A CNN report claims Michigan GOP leaders encourage rule breaking at poll worker training session – [source: cnn.com/2022/09/07/politics/michigan-gop-poll-worker-training-invs/index.html)

Michigan GOP leaders encourage rule breaking at poll worker training session | CNN Politics

The evening before Michigan’s state primary, Wayne County GOP leaders held a Zoom training session for poll workers and partisan observers – warning them about “bad stuff happening” during the election and encouraging them to ignore local election rules barring cell phones and pens from polling places and vote-counting centers.

Per the above article;

“(CNN) The evening before Michigan’s state primary, Wayne County GOP leaders held a Zoom training session for poll workers and partisan observers — warning them about “bad stuff happening” during the election and encouraging them to ignore local election rules barring cell phones and pens from polling places and vote-counting centers. “None of the constraints that they’re putting on this are legal,” former state senator Patrick Colbeck told trainees on the August 1 call.

As far as cell phones, “I would say maybe just hide it or something, and maybe hide a small pad and a small pen or something like that because you need to take accurate notes,” Cheryl Costantino, the GOP county chairwoman and host of the call, told participants.

Some participants raised concerns about being tossed out if they broke the rules. “That’s why you got to do it secretly,” Costantino replied.

While volunteer partisan observers have always been trained by political parties and non-profit groups in Michigan, the Wayne County GOP had also invited poll workers — people hired and paid by the local clerk’s office. They are in charge of running the election, and their responsibilities can include checking voter IDs, counting ballots, and even securing voting equipment at the end of the day. Poll workers are required to engage in non-partisan training overseen by the local clerk and are only identified as Republicans for the purposes of making sure there is equal representation of both major parties working the election, according to the Michigan Bureau of Elections.

During the Wayne County training call, obtained by CNN, the presumption that Democrats cheat — thus justifying Republican rule-breaking — permeated the discussion. It offers a snapshot of one of the ways Trump-backing, MAGA-minded conspiracy theorists are intervening in the election process across the country, sometimes encouraging poll workers or volunteer observers to violate election rules in hopes of finding evidence that Democrats might be doing the same.
It’s an approach election experts fear could spur chaos and conflict in November’s mid-term elections and in 2024.

“There is no exception to following the laws; there is no ‘two wrongs make a right,'” said Wendy Weiser, a vice president at The Brennan Center for Justice, which tracks potential insider threats to the election process. Weiser said the center is seeing a spread in efforts by election deniers to infiltrate and manipulate the voting and vote counting process.
“If poll workers are not committed to following the law, to following the directions of election officials, to protecting the integrity of the election process, they can do serious harm,” Weiser said.

Concerns mount over partisan election training

Like its counterparts in fellow battleground states Arizona and Pennsylvania, Michigan’s Republican Party has conspiracy believers pushing for influence over the election process at all levels, from candidates for statewide office down to poll workers and observers. As CNN has previously reported, that’s partly due to a strategy by Trump allies of ceaselessly recruiting conspiracy-minded MAGA volunteers for rank-and-file party positions.

Earlier this year, unsuccessful GOP gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley called on Michigan poll workers to unplug election equipment “if you see something you don’t like happening.” In June, Kelley was charged with trespassing and other crimes in connection with the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The Michigan GOP group Election Integrity Force, which Colbeck helped start, pushes baseless claims about the 2020 election that feed suspicions about the fairness of upcoming elections. In a July session, as first reported by Politico, members of the group coached poll workers and observers to call 911 and bring law enforcement into election-related complaints.
The mounting efforts to influence poll workers have prompted concerns over election disruptions, forcing the state to establish a code of conduct for those individuals, said Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

Poll workers who don’t adhere to the rules will be removed “by the local clerk, if they violate the law … or in any way interfere with the administration of fair and secure elections,” Benson told CNN.

The GOP has “made a concerted effort to put election deniers in positions where they can gum up the works, afterward, if they don’t win,” said Jeff Timmer, former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party.

The training sessions are providing a thinly veiled, read-between-the-lines instructions that essentially show “people how to break the law without expressly telling them to break the law, in most cases,” said Timmer, an advisor to the Lincoln Project, a political action committee founded in 2019 by Republicans and former Republicans opposed to Trump.

Both Costantino and Colbeck, the trainers on the Wayne County call, have actively promoted 2020 election conspiracies that amount to make-believe.

In the lead up to the 2020 election, Colbeck posted on Facebook that Democrats were conspiring to commit electoral fraud and “manipulating the vote tallies transmitted from county election boards to the state board of canvassers.”
While serving as a poll challenger at a counting center in Detroit, Colbeck claimed he saw vote-tabulation machines connected to the internet. He submitted an affidavit to that effect for a lawsuit that Costantino filed a week after the election, seeking to stop the results from being certified and requesting an audit.

Costantino’s lawsuit, backed by Trump, drew national attention to her claims of election fraud. But a state circuit court judge dismissed the suit, stating that “no evidence supports Mr. Colbeck’s position.” Noting Colbeck’s Facebook posts, Judge Timothy Kenny said that his “predilection to believe fraud was occurring undermines his credibility as a witness,” before concluding that Costantino’s interpretation of events was “incorrect and not credible.”

Costantino filed an appeal, which was denied.

Colbeck’s continuing claims that machines hooked to the internet flipped votes in 2020 led Dominion Voting systems to demand a retraction from him last year, stating that his claims “are not just false but have been repeatedly debunked by bipartisan election officials, actual election security experts, judges, and numerous Trump administration officials and allies.”

Colbeck also has tried to get copies of election files and Dominion software, zeroing in on Canton Township — a part of his former state Senate district. Canton Township Clerk Mike Siegrist, a Democrat, wrote in an August memo to the town’s board of trustees that his office denied those parts of Colbeck’s public-records requests because releasing the files would “violate our contracts with Dominion and jeopardize future elections.”

Colbeck did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment”.

Republicans exposed as hypocrites for complaining about Student Loan Relief (by Biden) after they gave over 2 Trillion in tax cuts in 2017… over 700 billion in “forgivable” loans and 23 billion in farm subsidies.

National Debt increased $8 Trillion by Trump & Republicans giving Tax breaks to the $RICH$

Biden NAMES and SHAMES Republican hypocrites in speech of the year

President Biden called out Republicans by name for mocking his student debt relief proposals, noting that they were more than happy to accept hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars worth of debt relief for themselves as part of the pandemic PPP program. Biden took aim at Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, and others.

Republicans called out as hypocrites for attacking student loan forgiveness after they had millions of dollars in PPP loan debt forgiven by the government.

The above video exposes how Republicans are hypocrites who engage in, and condone Socialism for the Rich in the form of corporate bails-outs, tax payer funded sports stadiums, farm subsidies (22 billion in 2019 when Trump was President), but harsh “pull yourself by up by your own bootstraps” Capitalism for everyone else.

Republicans who say they want to “Fight the Democrats Socialist Agenda” are Socialist Hypocrites, Anti-Democratic Fascist and Corporate Boot-lickers who pander to the RICH.

Per an article at salon.com – “Beware of right-wing scare tactics about Democratic socialism: Conservatives are using this boogeyman to manipulate their base”; “If you polled Republican primary voters and asked them if they supported Social Security or Medicare and Medicaid, an overwhelming majority would say ‘Yes.’ And that would, strictly speaking, make them socialists. Both liberals and conservatives treasure fundamentally socialist programs, but propagandistic polls like this mislead respondents into thinking the choice between socialism and capitalism is a binary one.

“We already have, as Sanders says, socialist safety nets for the very rich and the very poor, but pitiless free market capitalism for everyone else. He’s merely proposing we extend those safety nets to the middle class. Republicans talk about democratic socialism as though it’s interchangeable with communism. The later involves the government owning the means of production (which no one actually proposes); the former is a return to the midcentury norm, to the America of FDR and Eisenhower and Johnson”.

Senator Bernie Sanders stated; “Almost everything he [FDR] proposed was called ‘socialist.’ Social Security, which transformed life for the elderly in this country was ‘socialist.’ The concept of the ‘minimum wage’ was seen as a radical intrusion into the marketplace and was described as ‘socialist.’ Unemployment insurance, abolishing child labor, the 40-hour work week, collective bargaining, strong banking regulations, deposit insurance, and job programs that put millions of people to work were all described, one way or another, as ‘socialist.’ Yet these programs have become the fabric of our nation and the foundation of the middle class.”

Republicans who bashed the Infrastructure Bill as being the “Biggest leap towards socialism this nation has ever seen” are now attempting to take credit for Infrastructure Bill they voted against. This is just another example of Republican’s “Socialist Hypocrisy”.

These are some of the items in the Infrastructure Bill which Republicans called “Socialist”.

Let not forget how it was Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt who lifted America out of the Great Depression and put Americans back to work with his Grand New Deal.

When Republicans use their old, tired scare tactic campaign slogan that their going to Fight the “Democrats Socialist Agenda”, what they’re really saying is they want to take away your Affordable Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, monthly Child Tax Credit payments and other programs which benefit the middle class and the poor.

All Republicans care about is maintaining POWER and giving Tax breaks to the RICH so they can stay in power. They do NOTHING for the Middle Class and the Poor. What has a Republican ever done for you and your family?

Republicans use boogeyman phrases like “Socialist”, “Communists” and “Democrats will take your guns away” to try and SCARE uninformed people into NOT voting for Democrats, who are dedicated to improving lives of the middle class and the poor.

Republicans pursue Radical Right Wing Social issues such as passing Anti-Abortion, Anti-LGBT laws to get a large segment of the population to vote for them and use voter obstruction tactics so they can stay in power against the will of the majority of Americans. They have no problem lying or doing, saying what-ever it takes to hold onto power.

Trump & Republicans lying about the 2020 election, claiming the election was “Rigged”, “Stolen” and he “Won in a landslide” when the facts prove otherwise prove they are liars who have no decency.

Fighting “Democrats Socialist Agenda” means ending programs, services and benefits like these which we all take for granted;

Affordable Health Care

Social Security

Medicare

Medicaid

Guaranteed public education

Public transportation

Fire departments

Police departments

Public libraries

Every branch of the US military

Roads & highways

Public, not private prisons & jails

Public hospitals

The Veterans Affairs Administration

Public universities

Public parks

Public toilets

Public drinking fountains

Public parking

Public everything

For decades, Republicans has used the term “Socialism” and “Socialist” as a scare tactic to try and keep people from voting for Democrats.

Republicans like to proclaim… “The United States will NEVER be a Socialist Country”. Well, it already is and they’re either too stupid to realize it, or too dishonest to admit it.

Taxpayers Funded Stadiums and Sports Socialism

Taxpayer funded construction of sports stadiums is rarely an investment that generates enough revenue to justify the expense.

John Elroy executive vice president of football operations for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), say’s he’s a Republican because he’s against “safety nets”.

Republicans keep saying they are less government and wasteful spending. As shown in this video, a Democrat Mayor in Atlanta said NO to construction of a new taxpayer funded sports stadium while a Republican in a nearby town said YES.

This is an example of “Welfare for the Wealthy” and how Republicans have no problem using millions of taxpayer money for sports, but do not want to help regular Americans and the poor.

Sports and Farm Bill Socialism “safety nets” is OK fine with Republicans but most of these Repub scrooges don’t believe in helping the poor.

Republicans Always Pretend to be such “Good Christians”

Republicans constantly site the bible to rationalize their every day actions, but are hypocrites by doing everything possible to take away assistance to the poor.

Matthew 25:40 says “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me”.

Matthew 25:31-46 says “For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’’

Cutting assistance to the poor is in direct opposition to Christ’s teachings, proving Republicans are some of the biggest hypocrites on this planet.

Republicans tried to take away Affordable Health Care, CUT Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Appellate court exposes Bill Barr’s lies about secret DOJ memo used to protect Trump from charges

Recall that federal judge Reggie Walton found that former Attorney General Bill Barr spun the conclusions of the Mueller report, mischaracterized its findings, and announced that “Bill Barr lacks candor.”

Now a federal appellate panel has ruled that Bill Barr also lied when he claimed that a secret memo compelled him to decline to charge Donald Trump with the obstruction of justice crimes documented by Bob Mueller’s investigating into Trump-Russia coordination in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.

This video discusses the new court finding that a secret memo that Bill Barr mischaracterized must be released in its entirely.

The Justice Department improperly withheld parts of an internal memo Attorney General William Barr cited in announcing that President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice, an appeals panel said.

Florida Republicans are now requiring educators to teach Conservative Ideology Propaganda and “Originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution.

A rising Radical Right Wing Christian Nationalist movement rejects the traditional separation of church and state. Many of these Radical Right Wingers see the 2022 midterm election as a war of good versus evil, and their opponents as literal incarnations of satanic or demonic forces.

The Dangerous New Movement In Right-Wing America

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other far-right Republicans say plenty of disturbing things. But there’s a new and troubling trend in American right-wing politics: the desire to impose Christianity in the name of politics and nationalism.

DESANTIS FLORIDA: ONE OF THE MOST OPPRESSED ANTI-DEMOCRATIC STATES

• Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
• Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
• Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
• Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
• Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
• Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
• DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
• Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
• Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
• DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
• Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
• Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
• Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
• Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
• Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
• Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
• Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
• Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
• Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
• Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
• Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
• Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
• DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
• Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
• Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
• DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

Radical Right Wing Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is destroying Democracy & behaving like a Anti-Democratic Fascist Authoritarian Wanna-be Dictator

Title from YouTube: “Ron DeSantis Gives Himself Even More Power To Rig Florida Elections”

Description from YouTube: “Florida’s authoritarian Republican governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill into law giving him control over a new Election Police Force. But that’s just the beginning of what this sweeping new legislation will do, and the rest of the bill is actually even worse than the police force. Voter rolls will have to be “cleaned up” every single year, which is a code for purging voters. And common Get Out The Vote tactics will also now be illegal. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains how this bill will officially make Florida a permanent red state”.

Republican Ron DeSantis proves he’s a SICK, Deluded, Self Aggrandized, Egomaniac with his ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ Propaganda Political Ad

This ad makes it seem DeSantis thinks he’s God’s gift to Mankind.

Floridians re-electing DeSantis proves how STUPID and GULLIBLE they are, seemingly having no idea what a tyrant DeSantis is, who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, when in fact, he’s taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed. Floridians re-electing DeSantis has helped reinforce his grandiose delusions.

People used to wonder how the Germans could be so stupid, gullible, lawless and insane to support a Psychopathic Dictator and Brutal Mass Murder as Hitler. We’ve been seeing it happen here in the United States since 2016 when millions voted for Trump and Republicans. We’ve been seeing how millions of Americans are oblivious to Trump’s lawless and insane behavior, and the damage Republicans has been doing for years to our country.

Title from YouTube: “Ron DeSantis’ Corruption Scandal EXPOSED”

DeSantis tries to make it seem he’s fighting for citizens when he’s actually fighting for corporations (like most Republicans) and to advance his own political career. Per the description from YouTube: “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is at the center of a major corporate corruption scandal. DeSantis has signed off on $5.7 billion in tax write-offs and giveaways to corporation, while raising taxes on working people by $1 billion. In return, he’s banked about $30 million from Wall Street and other corporate donors.”.

REPUBLICAN Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proves what an arrogant, self-serving asshole he is by Berating Students wearing masks. This display shows how DeSantis is a Wanna-be Dictator Tyrant who demands everyone do as he dictates or suffer the consequences. He proved it when he Punished Disney and the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their Freedom of Speech (videos with details on this page).

DeSantis Takes Page From Autocrats’ Playbook With Migrant Plane Stunt

Alex Wagner outlines how couching the scapegoating and abuse of immigrants in whiney grievance politics like Ron DeSantis has done with his inhumane stunt of abruptly sending 50 migrants to an island in Massachusetts is a textbook autocrat political ploy that not even the disgraced Trump regime was willing to try.

The Right’s Embrace of Fascism and Authoritarianism

This videos gives insight into the oppressive laws Republicans has been passing in recent years and how Russia exemplifies many of the same anti-democratic ideals and values held by Republicans.

The United States will become as oppressive as Putin’s Russia unless Republicans are STOPPED by Voting them Out of Office.

Calmes: Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans

Red states like Texas, Missouri and Florida are waging their own culture war in parallel to Putin’s, targeting the rights of women and minorities.

Per the above article; “Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans We see the ravages of Russia’s war on Ukraine, where it’s as if the black-and-white scenes of carnage and fleeing refugees in World War II Europe — scenes consigned to history books, we thought — have been updated in horrific, real-time color. Vladimir Putin’s heinous war has united the Ukrainian people”.

“Then there’s the coverage of the figurative war here in America, a culture war waged by Republicans against women, minority groups, LGBTQ people, educators, public health officials and just about anyone not of a right-wing mindset. This needless conflict divides us, for Republicans’ political gain”.

“Such domestic battles are a luxury of peace and prosperity. I’m reminded of conservatives’ culture wars amid the good times at the turn of the century, before 9/11 made a mockery of the invented threats and brought Americans together against a real one”.

“Even as Ukrainians suffer bombings of hospitals, a maternity center, apartments and schools, our bloodless war proceeds on its several fronts: Against women’s constitutional right to abortion before a fetus’ viability. Against teachers’ rights to speak freely about race and gender. Against transgender youth and their parents. Against public health officials dealing with a once-a-century pandemic that’s killed nearly a million Americans”.

“On abortion rights, Republican-led states aren’t even waiting for the conservative U.S. Supreme Court to turn back the clock a half-century. They’re rushing either to ban abortions at 15 weeks’ gestation, significantly before a fetus is viable (the latest bill just went to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign), or to go further and copy Texas’ plainly unconstitutional law that ended nearly all abortions in that state, home to 7 million women of reproductive age”.

Florida Republicans Push State Into Full Blown Fascism

Description from Youtube: “Republican-controlled Florida legislature has passed a bill that would force college professors to be recorded in the state, and once a year they would be forced to undergo questioning about their personal political beliefs. Many students would also be subjected to the same kind of questioning. This is actual fascism in the United States, and the Republicans in Florida say that they are doing this to stomp out “cancel culture.”

Wanna-Be Dictator Florida Republican Fascist Authoritarian Governor Ron DeSantis wants to revive a World War II era program in the state of Florida that would allow him to create his own, personal military branch in the Sunshine State. He has asked the Republican-controlled legislature to give him money for the “Florida State Guard,” which was a program in the Second World War used to bolster the state’s National Guard numbers after they were deployed elsewhere.

The Truth Behind The DeSantis ‘Election Integrity’ Stunt In Florida

Ron DeSantis’ new fraud unit charged twenty Floridians with the crime of voting while being a convicted felon. “This entire display was pretty disgusting and even more so when you consider the context,” says Chris Hayes.

DeSantis Wants His Own SECRET POLICE Paramilitary Force

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed a plan to establish a Florida state guard, which would be a paramilitary volunteer group of Florida residents that DeSantis would select himself and control. Although other states have similar measures, many are worried that DeSantis is treading too close to authoritarianism due to his pushback on vaccine mandates in the state and distrust of the federal government.

Gov. Ron DeSantis Could Be Our Next Presidential Nightmare

In a recent straw poll, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came out as Republicans’ first choice for the 2024 presidential election. But before you celebrate Republicans turning away from Trump, take a look at all the ways Ron DeSantis could be…so much worse!

Furious that Disney spoke out against Republicans ridiculous “Don’t say Gay” law, anti-democratic, fascist wanna-be dictator Ron Desantis plans to Punish Disney which will cost local residents (as detailed in the above video).

Description from Youtube: “During a special session of the state legislature on Wednesday, Florida Republicans voted to strip the Disney Corporation of their “self-governing” status that has been in place for over half a century. While Republicans are celebrating the move, the public is left unaware that they are about to pay for this”.

‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’: DeSantis Goes After Disney’s Special Status

Fallout over Florida’s controversial new law that critics have called the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill continues. This is another example of how Republicans focus on divisive social issues instead of governing and actually doing things to improve people’s lives. Republicans ridiculous “Don’t say Gay” law which is ‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’. This law doesn’t fix any existing problems… it’s more unnecessary Republican Fascist BIG GOVERNMENT legislation to enslave and regulate every aspect of people’s lives.

DeSantis unleashes vengeance on Disney. This is the stuff of Nixon’s enemies list | Editorial

In an act of pure vengeance, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used his powers last week to expand the legislative special session and strip Walt Disney World of the special taxing district that independently governs it.

Per the above article: “In an act of pure vengeance, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he was using his powers to expand this week’s special session in a push to strip Walt Disney World of the special taxing district that independently governs it. It’s clear that the governor has been nursing a towering grudge against Disney ever since the company had the nerve to listen to its employees and — belatedly, but rightly — speak out against the “Don’t say gay” bill, withholding political campaign contributions in Florida. And it may be that the taxing district, which has been around since 1967 and encompasses two cities, is an outdated concept. The district functions much like a government, with the ability to issue tax-free bonds, provide police and fire service and, notably, build its own nuclear power plant”.

“This is the stuff of Richard Nixon and his enemies list. For those who may not remember, the country’s 37th president kept a list of enemies that was revealed during the Watergate scandal. Its purpose, according to Nixon’s assistant in a 1971 memo, was to plan “how we can use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.” And that’s what’s going on here”.

“He’s covering his tracks, though with the most transparent of excuses, by saying that he wants the Legislature to consider getting rid of all special taxing districts that were enacted before 1968 and haven’t been reestablished since. So far it looks like that would include just a handful of districts along with Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. House Speaker Chris Sprowls defended the governor’s move, saying the House has long contemplated this action. That doesn’t pass the smell test. In the war between Disney and DeSantis, this isn’t a grenade, it’s a precision missile strike, and it’s aimed right at Central Florida”.

“Back in 1971, Nixon’s list had 20 names on it. Over the next few years, it grew to 576 names. We all know how that ended. Now we have DeSantis’ frightening misuse of power. It must stop here, and that starts with lawmakers stiffening their backbones. Today, it’s Disney. Tomorrow, who knows?”

Anti-democratic, Fascist, Power Hungry Republicans are labeling anyone who disagrees with them as “Groomers” and Pedophiles”

The Right Wants Freedom For Themselves but Not For Others

“Ron DeSantis’ Wish To Be Supreme Dictator Of Florida About To Come True”

Florida governor Ron DeSantis has finally won, and the state legislature agreed this week to allow him to have absolute control over the state by giving him the authority to redraw Congressional districts. This power is reserved only for the state legislature, but after a lengthy battle with the authoritarian DeSantis, the legislature gave up and let him have his way.

This is an election rigging tactic similar to how Right-Wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and Propaganda is seen everywhere.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed a bill that bans abortions performed after 15 weeks without exceptions for rape, incest or human trafficking. Passing laws of oppression and taking away people’s freedom is Republicans TOP Priority… NOT pursuing policies and programs which help people.

New Florida law allows public college students and faculty to be surveyed on political beliefs

A new law that will go into effect on July 1 in Florida will allow the state to survey students, faculty and staff at public universities on their political beliefs. Proponents say it will help ensure “intellectual diversity.” This is another example of radical anti-democratic fascist authoritarianism by Republicans

DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring Colleges To Survey Student, Faculty Beliefs

The government has NO BUSINESS monitoring or interfering with what is taught at Universities. This is the type of “BIG BROTHER” behavior you find in Anti-Democratic Fascist Authoritarian Dictatorships like Russia, China, North Korea and Banana Republics.

Ron DeSantis wants to form an election security police force

Anti-democratic Authoritarian Fascist Republican, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is proposing the creation of an election security force to monitor elections in the state, when there were only 2 confirmed cases of election fraud, both committed by Republicans in the Villages retirement community. DeSantis should move to Russia, China or North Korea. He’d fit right in with those Anti-democratic Authoritarian Fascist bastards.

Ron DeSantis’ Election Police Power Will Backfire On Republicans

Florida’s authoritarian governor Ron DeSantis will soon have his very own “election police force” that will report directly to him. The alleged reason this is needed in Florida is to stamp out voter fraud, but Republicans need to be careful what they wish for. Most of the voter fraud cases that have been found in the state were elderly Republicans, and when this becomes a public spectacle, Republicans will be the ones looking bad.

Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize Ron DeSantis

State employees in Florida have been sounding the alarm bells about the quasi-dictatorship that they are working for, with multiple individuals saying that they have been threatened with demotions if they criticize Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s COVID policies. They are living in fear, as one employee put it, and they feel like they have no one to turn to.

Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Ron DeSantis, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity. Right-wingers around the world are all the same… it’s in the DNA to be authoritarians who want to control every aspect of people’s lives.

Florida Gov signs law requiring students, faculty be asked their political beliefs

The law goes into effect July 1.

Per the above article; Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed HB 233 Tuesday. The legislation will require public universities to survey students and staff annually about their beliefs to assess “viewpoint diversity” on campuses. The bill does not specifically say what will be done with survey results, but DeSantis suggested budget cuts could be imminent if universities and colleges are found to be “indoctrinating” students.

Under House Bill 233, surveys would be conducted annually on campuses to assess viewpoint diversity and intellectual freedom, and determine “the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented,” and whether students and faculty “feel free to express beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom.”

The legislation, which goes into effect July 1 2021, also aims to ensure students are being shown ideas that they “may disagree with or find uncomfortable.”

The measure was among three education bills signed by DeSantis Tuesday. Other measures included an expansion of civics education for K-12 schools, including instruction about the perils of communist and totalitarian governments.

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried compared Gov. Ron DeSantis to Adolf Hitler during a recent interview. Fried, a Democrat who is running for governor in 2022, made the remarks during Friday’s edition of The Florida Roundup podcast. Co-host Melissa Ross, a reporter for Jacksonville public radio station WJCT, asked Fried about her past references comparing DeSantis to an “authoritarian dictator.”

“He is doing everything possible to take power away from local governments, taking away people’s abilities to protest, making it harder to vote, talking about, you know, banning books,” Fried said. “That’s what dictators do. Instead of listening and trying to govern with the people, he is trying to govern over the people, and, you know, that, I’m sorry, I’m a student of history, too. I saw the rise of Hitler.”

“This governor is doing it for the sole purposes of power and doing so to make fear and to instill that, to blame people for what is happening in their lives, blaming certain parts of our society and culture, and that’s exactly what Hitler did to the Jews back during World War II.”

Fried proclaimed that DeSantis was “not fit to serve” after the state allowed as many as 1 million at-home COVID-19 test kits to expire. DeSantis has said the demand wasn’t there at the time before the omicron surge in Florida led to long lines at testing sites throughout the state.
