Ron DeSantis, the Trump-endorsed congressman who won Tuesdays GOP primary for Florida governor, is an administrator on an active Facebook group where conservatives share racist, conspiratorial and incendiary posts about a litany of targets, including black Americans and South Africans, the deep state, survivors of Februarys massacre at a Florida high school, immigrants, Muslims and, in recent days, John McCain.
DeSantis was listed as one of the groups 52 administrators and moderators as of Wednesday. His involvement in the group was first noted by a researcher for Media Matters for America on Tuesday.
DeSantiss campaign was already defending the congressman from accusations of racial insensitivity after his primary victory.
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday morning, DeSantis warned voters not to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist by supporting his opponent, Andrew Gillum, the Tallahassee mayor who became Floridas first black gubernatorial candidate from either party when he won the Democratic nomination Tuesday.
