Paul Renner for Governor Statement on "Muslim Day at the Capitol"
"Radical ideologies of any kind pose a serious threat to public safety, democratic institutions and the rule of law. Groups, secular or non-secular, that fuel political violence and promote extremism have no place in government."
"We have seen Muslim-Sharia ideology take hold in Europe, the result has been instability, intimidation and attacks on democratic norms. I wholeheartedly stand against this!"
"I do, however, stand firmly for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law. I oppose any attempt to introduce or give influence to foreign terrorist systems -- including Sharia -- in our courts or our government. Our legal framework must remain based on individual rights and equal justice under the law."
"I stand with Governor DeSantis naming Muslim groups, like CAIR, 'foreign terrorists'. As Governor, I will never allow them to take toehold here in our state, and I will take any legal means to get them out. This is not a matter of partisan disagreement -- it is a matter of protecting our Republic, rejecting political extremism, and standing firmly for our Judeo-Christian heritage."
Attorney General James Uthmeier: "We recently sued Planned Parenthood for deceiving and endangering countless Florida women. Rep. @RAlexAndradeFL's law firm is now defending Planned Parenthood in court. He chairs a healthcare subcommittee in the FL legislature while profiting from abortions. Unacceptable!"
State Rep. Alex Andrade: "Why anybody takes the words of a thief like @AGJamesUthmeier at face value is beyond me, but to the uninitiated, James is not a good nor honest man. I don't represent planned parenthood & I'm a salaried employee of the law firm I work for."
Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins: "Clear conflict of interest here. Alex claims he's a Republican, but then stays silent as his coworkers defend those who kill innocent children in the womb. He's tried repeatedly to stiff arm real Republicans every step of the way, and should in no way be leading any conservative efforts. No wonder he was MIA on Amendment 4. He should recuse himself as chair..."
Governor Ron DeSantis: "Special elections are quirky and not necessarily projectable re: a general election. That said, a swing of this magnitude is not something that can be dismissed. Republicans should be clear-eyed about the political environment heading into the midterms."
