    What the hell does this dumbass expect? Not only has he loosened laws gun laws in the state making crimes like this easier to commit, but he’s shown nothing but antagonism towards the black community. He gerrymandered half the black state congress house seats out of existence, he constantly uses CRT and “wokeism” as racist dog whistles, he basically tried to strip black history out of education (or whitewashed it by claiming it was actually a good thing for the victims), he recently removed a black prosecutor for “failing to do her job” (even though he has been MIA in Florida for months) and he appoints literal KKK members to positions of power in the state.

    I’m amazed he had the gall to even show up.

      Are they really dogwhistles when it’s so obvious? Pretty much air raid sirens at this point.

      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.
