Congressman and Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds (R-FL) shared a campaign ad asserting Democratic challenger David Jolly has an open-door policy for Democrats who want to come help him win his bid for governor.
The 50-second ad begins with Jolly saying he would "welcome anybody in today's Democratic party" in response to a question from CBS News Miami's Jim Defede on having former Vice President Kamala Harris campaign with him on the trail.
"David Jolly says he’ll 'welcome anybody from the Democratic Party' to campaign with him. Roll the tape — David Jolly and his fellow Democrats are too far-left for Florida," Donalds wrote to the ad.
Multiple other Democrats are also used to insinuate the welcome, including Texas U.S. Sen. candidate James Talarico, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and Michigan Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
"God is non-binary," Talarico says.
"Trans girls are girls," Ocasio-Cortez says.
"Defunding the police has to happen," Bush says.
"We need to completely dismantle the police department," Omar says.
"Do police really need to use guns?" Adbul El-Sayed says.
In addition, the ad references New York Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier and ex-Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner for their preferences for communism, as well as Talarico's preference to dismantle capitalism.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a lightning rod among Republicans, is also featured. Rep. Donalds has compared David Jolly to Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist, in the past.
"We will replace the virginity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism," Mamdani says.
Mamdani, along with Ocasio-Cortez and Bush, are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Democratic U.S. Sen. candidate Angie Nixon (D-FL) is also a member of the DSA.
The ad concludes by stating, "David Jolly's Democrat Party Too Extreme For Florida."
Seems like all good reasons to vote for Democrats! Thanks for the list! What’s on the Republicans list–dividing people?, not everyone has rights?, let’s give your tax money to big corps? What’s extreme is allowing a party to take our money to serve the needs of wall street.
Jolly is a disaster!. the guy is such a grifter he even lies to himself, recent he announced that as a vegetarian he will now start eating meet, apparently to get votes!. He disrespects black democrats and just recently was blaming Jerry Demings for his, Jolly, own failures and he ignored Black women democrats by complexly ignoring them in his LG pick consideration, instead picking a generational wealthy 1-percenter in Gwen Graham whose wealth is over $15 million, who herself also has a record of attacking black Democrats. No black voter or any voter should waste their vote on Jolly. He is a grifter that blows in any direction that the wind blows. Not to mention Grahams own legacy of having her State Senator Grandfather, Ernest Graham, who made the family money, be vocal supporter of a bill as Fla Dem Senator to prevent Blacks in Miami from voting. People should go look this up. The Indianapolis, May 20, 1939, Page 16. Upper Right corner of Page. You will see Ernest Graham, as Florida Democrat State Senator saying verbatim “I’m opposed the negroes voting at primaries”. He and other state Rep Se John Lindsey are quoted in article! That’s is Gwen family legacy. That who Jolly ignored black women candidate to pick for his LG. He seems he could care less must feel that votes are owed to him no matter what!
