Jacksonville Shooting: Rep. Maxwell Frost Blasts DeSantis for Pushing Bigotry & Ignoring Gun Violence

Congressmember Maxwell Frost of Florida says this weekend’s shooting in Jacksonville, carried out by a white supremacist who targeted Black people at a dollar store, did not happen in isolation. He points to Republican efforts to loosen gun laws and racist rhetoric from party leaders as part of the problem of far-right violence. “All of these things are connected,” says Frost, who also applauded people for booing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at a prayer vigil in Jacksonville. “In moments like these, we have to stand strong on ensuring that leaders who contributed to the problem can’t use our communities as campaign stops.”

“…3rd, the gov’s actions will #intimidate elected #prosecutors forcing them into the debunked theory that lengthy sentences, rather than #restorativejustice programs, are the only way to assure community safety.”

This guy (#desantis ) doesn’t just…”tell you who he is”…
He gives you his map…leading towards the “devastation of the American Experiment”!
