However, Jacksonville City Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman, who delivered remarks before DeSantis took the stage, stepped to ask the crowd to quiet down and listen.
“It ain’t about parties today,” she told the audience. “A bullet don’t know a party.”
The bullet may not know a party, but the gun and shooter absolutely did, and it’s 10000% obvious where the party affiliation lies. Anybody who pretends otherwise should be ignored and mercilessly kicked for their ignorance and/or lies.
Yeah. One party is guilty of stochastic terrorism. They’ve been emboldening Nazi racist fuckwits for years now. The fuck did they expect was going to happen? Of course they don’t care they just want power, regardless of whatever it costs the rest of us.
Glad I saw this because that’s exactly what I was thinking. Gun advocates love to call for the shooter, not the weapon so in this case, the shooter is absolutely affiliated and the current republican party enables and encourages this behavior. Apparently it’s appropriate to pray at the vigil YOU enabled. Disgusting.
He almost certainly expected this and it’s almost certainly a part of a play. It’s really obvious to anyone that this would happen. I’d bet he now goes around and talks about how uncivilized and hostile the people were and how he’s the victim of the woke mob, or whatever. I don’t think he’s stupid, and that’s the most dangerous part.
I’m partially impressed Desantis 1. had the gall to show up. 2. was likely expecting not to get booed. Plz someone get this clown out of my state and exile him to one of those plastic islands out in the center of most Seas
Now that he is slowly giving up on the presidency. He is starting to realize the state, he abandoned/ignored for his entire “Presidential world tour and crusade on Wokeness”, is in trouble.
Needless to say, Florida people aren’t happy about that. Even the quiet ones.
What did he expect would happen? How delusional is this guy. His audience is KKK rallies and Cuban conservatives. Let him stick to that.
What did he expect would happen?
Although I fully support the booing, you have to figure the idea was that the backlash of “Governor Didn’t Care Enough to Show Up” would have been greater than the backlash of “Well duh, of course he got booed.”
I don’t know whether that’s true, but I feel pretty sure that’s the calculus that drove the decision to go.
Good, well deserved
