    DeSantis appointed him to serve as a county commissioner in Florida's only majority-Black county.
    DeSantis appointee on Gadsden Commission quits over KKK costume photo
    Gadsden County religious leaders are demanding a local commissioner and Gov. Ron DeSantis "come forward" to address allegations that the commissioner resigned last Friday after a photo surfaced purportedly showing him wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood at what could have been a Halloween party years earlier.

    Jeffery Moore, a Havana resident and former Department of Revenue employee, was appointed by DeSantis in late July and abruptly resigned from the post in Florida’s only predominantly Black county after the photo began circulating in the local community.

    MAGA DeSantis defenders will say the picture was photoshopped by the dastardly leftist media.

    Please explain why DeSantis needs defending? Making the likely assumption he knew nothing of the photo what exactly did he do wrong?

    Unless it can be shown that DeSantis knew ahead of time that the photo existed why should he have to address such an issue? He appointed the guy, something in the guys past surfaced, the guy resigned. End of story. What is the big deal involving DeSantis?

    The photo is not the issue. The issue is, if this arse clown was a disgusting enough human being to put that "costume" on, chances are pretty good that a) he happened to have the "costume" in his closet all year and b) there is no way that he hid his disdain for non-white, non-Christians such that any actual vetted candidate should never be appointed to anything.

    DeSantis needs to defend his vetting process at a minimum, because we are pretty sure he knew about this and that actually is what got him appointed to the County Commission in Gadsen county, as opposed to disqualified.

    You're obviously supposed to go through all photo albums and get a full Halloween costume history rundown.

    Nobody needs to defend it, the votes from people who care about dumb issues like this have long since been bought.

    Or you could not appoint people racist enough to have Klan robes and hoods.

    I KNEW that DeSantis was KKK when he assured Floridians they no longer needed to wear masks on the beach.

    Probably more likely that he just wanted to be sure none of his appointees would support CRT. Although Gov. Ron probably had no idea what could be better confirmation that the guy opposed CRT than his desire to dress up as a Klansman?

    And the rights obsession with an actor wearing a funny but absurd costume reading to young children still floors me. Who really cares? My generation grew up watching these actors on television and it really didn't affect us one way or the other.

    On the other hand for some reason MAGA nation seems to have an affinity for this drag queen (Rudy Giuliani in case you do not recognize the disbarred attorney in makeup) and his/her high profile friend.

    Looking at the photos in the link it's rather obvious that the drag queens are men wearing absurd humorous costumes to entertain children. They're obviously not trying to look like real women for the purpose of convincing the children to accept transgender persons.

    Just out of curiosity how many of the drag queens reading to children during Drag Queen Story Hour have been charged with crimes of a sexual nature involving children? Just asking.
    By the way, I'm not sure why I keep responding to your posts on the subject since Drag Queen Story Hour is completely off-topic for this thread.

    All this just now surfaced? Seems like the photo would have surfaced long ago. Did it only surface because DeSantis opposition needed more to push the DeSantistan bull shit?
    He is the past Chairman of the Gadsden Soil and Water Conservation District, is a member of the National Association of Conservation District’s Board of Directors and is the immediate past President of the Association of Florida Conservation Districts.
    Moore, of Havana, is a former tax law specialist at the Florida Department of Revenue

    Probably a photo from his law school days. LMAO another thing I'd like to know, if this photo is so important why do other's present have their faces scratched out? Wouldn't you want to expose everybody partying with the evil KKK guy? Who are they covering for?
