GOP Race in Central Florida Gets Ugly

Just about every Republican legislator in the Florida Legislature believes that Rep. Anthony Sabatini is persona non grata for going after anyone he feels does not prescribe to his political ideology.

Sabatini has called even the most conservative of lawmakers RINO's and called Sen. Marco Rubio and other U.S. Senators a "scumbag" for the way they have voted.

His daily battles with GOP leadership has landed him in the basement of the Capitol and his bills have been shelved or dismissed.

As Sabatini runs for the U.S. Congress, one of his Republican primary opponents, Cory Mills, is doing a significant and oftentimes funny Twitter troll of the Lake County legislator.

Just recently, Sabatini blocked Mills on Twitter and hid several of the message the former combat veteran posted on this timeline.

This could turn out to be an epic primary race. READ MORE

 


DeSantis Attacks Fried, Fried Attacks DeSantis

Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried just made another bold, yet a bit bizarre claim against Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Apparently, DeSantis is "obsessed" with her and has attacked her 24 times in a month. We monitor everyone's social media accounts, in particular DeSantis's and Fried's, and are a bit miffed at the claim.

If you look at Fried's Twitter handle, just about every single tweet she puts out is about DeSantis.

We just scrolled through both of DeSantis's Twitter accounts, going back two weeks and not one mention of Fried.

Maybe Fried is referring to individuals within DeSantis's political orbit, like Republican Evan Power or DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw, or even Bud the Bloodhound.

We just don't see it.

Ron DeSantis-Florida is the education state. We are enabling students, parents, and teachers to succeed.

Annette Taddeo (She/Her/Ella)-Watching the confirmation of Judge Brown Jackson has given me so much hope & her story inspires me and many other women who often have to work twice as hard to get half the respect. Through it all, she has persevered.

Shevrin “Shev” Jones-Everyone’s strength has a limit, but when you know where your strength comes from, they may bend you, but they can’t break you! Strong Black woman! #JudgeKetanjiBrownJackson

Rep. Anthony Sabatini-Everyone needs to follow @ChuckNadd immediately! He’s running against corrupt RINO @WiltonSimpson “Simpin’ Simpson” passed the largest gun control & tax increase in the HISTORY of Florida

He’s also holding up @GovRonDeSantis ’s congressional map Vote for Chuck Nadd!!!

Debbie Wasserman Schultz-I fought in the legislative trenches with then-VP Biden to win the Affordable Care Act, 12 years ago this week. As @BarackObama signed it, Biden's face shows how vital it was to us. But don't let the smile fool you: @POTUS will fight to the end to block #ACA attacks by the GOP.
