He said he was going to ignore alleged "Con man" James Fishback, but Rep. Byron Donalds was left no choice but to respond, as the apparent Nick Fuentes wannabe continues to push the antisemitic and racist political envelope.
Wait, where is theĀ Republican Party of Florida's condemnation of Fishback? Remember, Fishback is running for governor as a Republican, so his rhetoric and self-serving antics reflect on all Republicans and the Republican name.
Fishback has embraced the far-right, anti-Israel sentiment that a new breed of antisemitic and racist Gen Z influencers have latched onto, having recently stated no one should kiss a "stupid wall."
The reference to kissing a "stupid wall" is targeting the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a holy site for both Jews and Christians alike. Fishback, Fuentes, and their ilk tout Christianity, but don't appear to know the Wall's historical significance to both religions.
Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist who recently endorsed Fishback's campaign, recently stated," I donāt want to live around black people. It would be irresponsible if I had a wife and kids to live near black people." He has also expressed his support for the Islamic Republic of Iran's crackdown on protestors and blames Israel for "destroying" that country.
āIn modern America, Jews lead the effort to de-Christianize America. ā¦ They share little of the heritage of the Old Testament people called the Israelites. ā¦ Communism and Zionism were born from the same Jewish soul. ā¦ Jewish power is ubiquitous. ā¦ It is not a [Jewish] conspiracy. It is simply two nations ā Jew and Gentile ā in a state of ethnic war.ā
Did James Fishback make these statements about Jews?
With all of his anti-Israel remarks, one would think that these remarks were made by Fishback, right?
Well, those statements were made by David Duke, who once ran and won a seat in the Louisiana legislature, and also ran for governor of the state, the U.S. Senate,Ā and President of the United States.
Is Fishback the next David Duke?
Even the Louisiana Republican Party denounced Duke.
Wait, didn't Jesus Christ tell us all to love one another, "love thy neighbor," regardless of color, creed, or religious beliefs?
"Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another," said Jesus Christ (John 13:34).
Back to what Rep. Donalds stated on "X."
"Dear James Fishback, I heard you crashed out when I told the truth about your stupid anti-semitic BDS plan that would take pension $$ from police and fire for more government handouts. You stole that plan from Kamala Harris, just like you stole your whole gimmick from Nick Fuentes and Zohran Mamdani. Tell everyone the truth - six months ago in Madison County, you had me face-to-face on stage for an hour. You could have asked me anything. You had a lapel mic on and recorded the whole thing. Be a man and release the tape. You won't do it, because it will prove what we both know. You're no racist. You're no groyper. You're no anti-semite. Youāre what people hate about politics - performative slop. James = Con Man Sincerely, Florida's Next Governor."
This was a mic drop of epic political proportions.
Fishback had the chance to call out Donalds to his face last year at a Madison County Republican meeting, but didn't. Why?
Is Fishback a "con man" a Donalds states?
Can he be both a racist and a "con man?"
Regardless of what the anti-Israel and racist statements and he continues to make, this is on the Republican Party to denounce him.
Yeah, I understand that the don't want to give his message oxygen, but there also comes a time when standing up for what is right and pushing back against a message that is anti-Republican takes precedent.
Fishback has also questioned Rep. Byron Donald's (R) gubernatorial campaign, referring to him with racial slurs like "By'rone" and calling him a "Slave to donors."
Oh, Fishback also tweeted, "Byron = FN."
What is a "FN?"
