    Also from his office:
    “Nazi imagery and hate speech, whoever is using it, is never acceptable. Nobody from our office ever suggested it was,” she added, calling attempts to “tie” the neo-Nazis to DeSantis “disgusting political smears.”

    So silly that this is even an issue, ....but politics.

    You dont need soundbites when you have a record.

    His record on Israel says far more than whatever perfect soundbite the left is looking for.

    That doesn't save it either. But nothing will get through. They obviously find much to like in his message

    Minority rule. The Supreme Court was packed with right-wing extremists by Presidents who lost the popular vote and Senates representing a minority of Americans. And let's not forget McConnell screwed Obama out of his rightful Supreme Court pick.

    It’s taken this long because by and large those with knowledge refused to testify and/or challenged the authority of the Congressional subpoenas. It’s not the fault of Congress that people either did not come forward or refused to come forward. Using time-elapsed as a metric for determining legal suitability is a logical error. Whether an indictment is produced or not, the Congress is attempting to present the case for the American people and DOJ. The use if the term “dog and pony show” appears to be an intentional act in order to preemptively justify willful ignorance.

    He does have a good record on Jewish issues. Better than most. That's to his credit. Which makes his lack of response to the protestors even odder. A few words of repudiation would cost so little. Boilerplate from his media affairs office isn't the same.

    All it takes for evil to prosper is good men to remain silent.

    Some things that involve just pure hatred of others like naziism, racism, etc should be condemned by anyone with any chance of representing our country

    Not only that but this is more than just an issue that concerns Jewish people and supporters of Israel. It’s disgusting on every level.

    Independent voters can definitely influence national elections, for sure. You questioned whether liberals are in the majority. Liberals are in the majority, imho, even if it's only by "a few million". In the past what I read and heard was that Republicans, who tend to be labeled as conservative, had better turnout than Democrats and if this is true there might be even more liberals that don't vote. Finally I think that most of the young people that vote are just as informed and in many cases, more informed, than older voters and from the looks of the last election or two are probably less emotional than older voters and also aren't as stuck into ideologies as older voters.

    I think calling them jackasses and pointing out the legal pursuit is a response.

    Did you guys want him to climb the overpass and start punching protesters 8n the mouth?

    These nutjobs hate Israel. No way they really like RD.

    You are missing the bigger picture. RD has a track record that flies in the face of these wingnuts.

    These guys are either trying to own the libs bu jist showing up wherever they get a camera or they are plants.

    Either way DeSantis has a clean record here and a record that these clowns certainly hate back in the septic tank they crawl out of.

    The Hearings were made for this specific purpose. It is bi-partisan, and almost exclusively Trump’s inner circle and/or Republican witnesses.

    Don't be so sure. They likely don't but a lot of anti-Semites are very pro-Israel, and some of them may be too, for anti-Semitic reasons.

    It's complex, and I will oversimplify, but there are the nationalist types which have some overlap with Nazis which believe that each nation has an exclusive ethnic identity and that that is the true definition of a nation. By their calculation, Israel is great because it's where all Jews should be and they should be nowhere else. So they support Israel but hate Jews living anywhere else.

    There is also the eschatological types that believe that Israel must control the land including the contested areas (euphemism), so that the end times will come where Jews will be subject to the Tribulation.

    The conservatives are just less noisy.
    Libbies are the loudest and complain the most and therefore seem more abundant.
    We’ll have to disagree that young libbie voters are more informed. That is scary to me because we already know they’re likely getting info from yahoo, CNN and late night tv shows as well as the Hollywood crowd.

    Anyone believing the end time account that would bring us to that would also have to serve the King of the Jews.

    Thats not who these clowns are. They are just hate groups looking for a stage.

    Blame Trump for not slamming that door, but not DeSantis.

    Young people who become aware of the world around them tend to actually research things and come to some pretty informed opinions. I've noticed this since I was a student at UF in the mid 1970s. I've seen kids who didn't care about politics in high school become very politically aware in just a few years. What I think is dangerous is when people adopt an ideology and don't question it or at least critically analyze it for the rest of their lives
