The shooting of 3 African Americans yesterday in Jacksonville, FL prompted Florida state representative Angie Nixon (D) to comment on fascistic Gov. Ron "Bootsie" DeSantis' role in stoking hatred in the state through his racist "anti-woke" agenda. From MSNBC:
"Look, at the end of the day, the governor has blood on his hands. He has had an attack, an all-out attack on the Black community with his woke policies, which we know very well, was nothing more than a dog whistle to get folks riled up in the way in which it just happened yesterday. I listened to him for the first time with that statement, my blood is literally boiling."
This is absurd, it is ridiculous, he is one of the causes of this. This is an agenda that he has been pushing since he has gotten into office. He showed us who he was when he initially ran for governor saying do not monkey this around. Do not monkey this up. That type of statement. It only leads to things like this." (our emphasis)
It's outrageous that DeSantis has been trafficking in racist dog whistles, but par for the course for the Republican / New Confederate / Shooters party. The full interview with Representative Nixon is here.
