These are some pretty serious allegations. Of course, history shows the Republicans of Florida look the other way when it comes to assaulting underage girls. So I can see why James Fishback would feel safe in his (alleged) improper relationship.

Woman says James Fishback dated her while she was underage, then harassed her after breakup

Accusations came in a since-rejected protection order request. Fishback denies the relationship began before the woman turned 18 or that he acted improperly toward her.

His policies are a mishmash of extreme conservatism and economic progressivism; nationalism tinged with socialism, if you will. He believes that #Florida’s gun laws are too strict, its abortion laws too lax and its public teacher pay too low. He’s called for a 50 percent sin tax on OnlyFans creators and $10,000 grants to high-performing high school graduates to buy homes or start businesses. Though he’s the son of an immigrant — his mother is Colombian — he wants a total #immigration moratorium.

Most of all, #Fishback has made contempt for #Israel and its American lobby a centerpiece of his campaign...
