🚨 HOW HORRIBLE:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a Black Democratic state lawmaker arrested after a 5-hour sit-in at his office.
Then he amplified a post calling her “ghetto.”
State Rep. Angie Nixon, a Jacksonville Democrat now running for U.S. Senate, sat outside DeSantis’s office for five hours Friday. She wanted to speak with someone in the governor’s office about affordability and the new congressional map.
The Capitol Police arrested her on a trespassing charge. Press were ordered out of the building. Two of her supporters were arrested with her.
DeSantis then went on social media. He retweeted a post from an allied account that called Nixon a “ghetto rep.” He added his own caption.
“FAFO.”
This is the same governor who in his 2018 campaign warned voters not to “monkey it up” by electing his Black opponent.
The map Nixon was protesting — passed in a special session two weeks ago — adds four GOP-leaning seats heading into November.
When you knock on power’s door with documented evidence, power doesn’t debate you. It demeans you. Then it arrests you.
