The Quiet War Raging Within the Florida Republican Party

  

 

This is a truly insightful look at the FL GOP—See the short excerpt below and click the link to read the rest. You can subscribe to Florida News Report at the site as well.

 

“All around the State of Florida, a quiet war is raging in the Republican Party, and it’s being played out in the county GOPs. The Republican Party has been known as the “Grand Old Party” or “GOP” since the 1970s, because we saved the Union...

“…The Establishment Republicans should ask themselves, “What would Democrats do?”  And we know the answer - they never give an inch, and they fight to the political death.  This is the same characteristic that both President Trump and Governor DeSantis bring to the table, that makes them so popular, but which is oddly neglected by the Establishment RINOs.”


After reading the FL News Report article, Republican Party of Manatee County chairman Steve Vernon sent this comment:


The article missed Manatee County nestled in between Sarasota, Hillsborough, and Pinellas.  

Manatee:

Led by Chairman Steve Vernon, the Manatee GOP has fully embraced Trump loyalists, America First, and Constitutional Conservatives with open arms!  He covets new members willing to work hard and help win local elections for those candidates who stand for Republican Principles and Conservative values. Under Steve Vernon's leadership, the Manatee REC has increased new members by almost 50% in the last 4 months.”

Tell Senators to Vote 'No' on Pres. Biden's Radical SPLC Nominee

  

President Joe Biden has nominated Nancy Abudu, a radical, political activist employed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), to serve on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Abudu currently serves as the strategic litigation director for SPLC. This means her job is to sue those who don’t agree with SPLC’s radical “woke” agenda by attacking religious liberty, biblical sexuality, and the sanctity of life.


The SPLC consistently smears those with opposing views as “hate groups” and “extremists” and continues to do so despite the dangerous consequences. Abudu joined SPLC even after the group inspired an individual to attempt mass murder against Christians who work for the Family Research Council (FRC). The attempted murderer targeted the FRC because SPLC dishonestly designated it as a hate group simply because it holds biblical views on sexual truth. SPLC ignores that fact that faithful Christians and Jews have done nothing more than to remain faithful to the same biblical truth regarding human sexuality that has existed for thousands of years.
