Re: When is Enough ,Enough?

1) every conservative remotely supportive of trump is going to be attacked by standard liberal racial fearmongering. 2) i dont know about DeSantis' situation, but i do know the media regularly lies, exaggerates or manipulates the facts and i do expect this is one of those cases The media has 0 credibility on these sort of stories because they have repeatedly shown their bias. I dont know much about facebook, but like most of the internet, i assume that if DeSantis was posting rascist crap some one will dig up those posts and put them out there. I doubt facebook is using bleachbit software on their servers to save DeSantis' behind. |

I also concede thinkprogress is not the best source. They have photographic evidence of the group (which you can research if you really don't think is that bad) posting support for DeSantis and also saying he's an admin for the group. Rather than say thinkprogress is not a good source, why don't you look at the evidence and judge the content from that? |

I don't know anything about Facebook, I have never had an account, so this is from Tampa Bay's newspaper: Quote:
I also know it was called the Tea Party, though had nothing to do with the political Tea Party. I had looked at the Snopes account, which had a screen grab that said the profile was added by another person, and that a member who promoted voting him is the one that said he is an admin. Again, I don't know enough about Facebook to know if these things can happen without his knowledge. Snopes has this as a reference quote though: Quote:
So bottomline for me, he is running for Florida governor, I will never interact with him in any meaningful way. If the people of Florida elect him, then let them do their due diligence, but for me it smells like typical media oversell. |

Second, could an aide or even his wife have added him and he not known? He's not claiming that, and it certainly wouldn't be a good thing for a man wanting to be governor to not know what his staff or wife is getting him into. |

The group can send him an invite to join, or send him an invite to be an admin, but it is blatantly false that you can be added to groups as a member or an admin without your consent. TL;DR it's sabotage, or he is an admin for a racist group on FB. He could always have been hacked too, but if someone would go to those lengths they'd probably do more than just add him as an admin for a group. |

Here, let me help you out. Originally reported here about him being an admin to a facebook group spreading racist information/memes. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/r...-page-10682854 We have confirmation he (along with other politicians) was an admin of the racist group because his administration admits he left the group. https://www.tampabay.com/florida-pol...acebook-group/ Now we have racist robocalls going out targeting Gillum. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/u...ew-gillum.html The fact that you are up here defending this dipshit earlier when all the evidence supports he's a piece of racist makes me inclined to think you are one too or think like one. Here are a few clues that might help you: 1) He's supported by Trump and toes the line which has shown to support white nationalist and racist comments/policies. 2) He's an admin of a facebook group that routinely posts racist memes/information to some 95,000 people 3) He uses the word "monkey" in a phrase dealing with his rival candidate who is black. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's a god damn duck. You can't cling to Trumpism while still getting to deny racism. Not happening kids. There are many conservatives that have denounced such speech, and have been around supporting and helping Republicans win since Reagan. George Will, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson, Tom Nichols, Steve Schmidt. Many of these guys have left the party THIS year after realizing the GOP had turned into the party of Trump. If you still support him, you support it all.
