Citizens of Jacksonville show fine taste and judgment
Florida’s most powerful and influential race-baiter turned out not to be particularly welcome at a vigil for victims of an act of white supremacist terrorism:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was heckled and booed as he was introduced to speak at a vigil Sunday for the victims of the Jacksonville shooting at a Dollar General store where a white gunman shot and killed three Black people.
DeSantis, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, said the state was looking to identify funds to help boost security at the historically Black college, Edward Waters University, where the gunman showed up before the attack but left without incident.
“We are not going to allow these institutions to be targeted by people,” DeSantis said.
But as heckling resumed, a local councilwoman told the crowd to put political parties aside, which allowed DeSantis to continue his remarks.
To frame the objections to the guy whose policy “solutions’ include more assault weapons carried in public by more people and limits on critical analyses of race in all forms of education as merely partisan is to really miss thee point,
