Its governor Karen DeSantis is a controversial figure. He is considering a 2024 run.
He is likely to win his bid for reelection. We can stop it if we vote and vote like our lives depend on it. Vote for Charlie Crist. If he fails, Florida is no longer a swing state for Democrats and the likelihood the electoral college could favor Republicans in the near future.
DeSantis already facing heat for flying migrants seeking asylum to Massachusetts in a stunt to make issues about the border. Florida does not have a land border. It's closest countries are islands. The Bahamas and Cuba are countries that seem to not be on the mind of Florida's governor.
So a small controversy is brewing but it will likely stay on social media.
A Gadsden County official is out after a photo of him surfaces. He was wearing a full Klan outfit and his friends were partying in blackface.
The irony. |
Gadsden County religious leaders are demanding a local commissioner and DeSantis "come forward" to address allegations that the commissioner resigned last Friday after a photo surfaced purportedly showing him wearing a Klan robe and hood at what could have been a Halloween party years earlier.
Klan Moore, a Havana resident and former Department of Revenue employee, was appointed by DeSantis in late July and abruptly resigned from the post in Florida’s only predominantly Black county after the photo began circulating in the local community.
Moore, the only Republican on the five-member board, also ended his campaign for the District 2 race, which was to be decided in the Nov. 8 general election.
Three years ago, another DeSantis-appointed official resigned from office after a similar incident involving a leaked photo. Karen Ertel, the secretary of state, resigned after photos emerged of him posing as a Hurricane Katrina victim in blackface years earlier at a private Halloween party.
