Florida GOP gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis is an administrator of a Facebook group that promotes racist and “deep state” conspiracy theories.

American Ledger — a corruption watchdog news site — reported Wednesday that DeSantis is one of 52 administrators and moderators for the “Tea Party” Facebook group that is also co-run by failed Arizona Senate candidate Kelli Ward.

The GOP candidate’s participation in the large administrator pool was first revealed on Tuesday by Media Matters extremism researcher Natalie Martinez, who posted screenshots of a string of DeSantis campaign posts in the group. She later learned that another administrator named the candidate as one of the group’s admins.

2. Ofcourse DeSantis is a bigot, all trumpist are.

But we need not waste so much press for this. We need more press for Gillum IMHO.

3. True - telling Republicans how racist their candidates are is useless

It just makes them like their racist candidates more.

Maybe some of the independents would be swayed by knowing that DeSantis is a white supremacist but we can't count on it.

5. True - Some joker from the National Review is on Hardball right now defending him

Yes its perfectly fine to use monkey and state how articulate your black opponent is. Yup, its standard politics. Because you would absolutely say that regarding a white opponent. Absolutely, we go around saying how much white folks are articulate and use animalistic terms. Yes, that is normal politics indeed.

Either - this fellow is blinded by his own white privilege. Many are. Does not understand racism. Many don't. Or he's a damn bigot himself Did I mention He was from The National Review?

Waste of time to give press to these folks. Lets give more time to Gillum, and others to talk about their platforms.

10. I hope DeSantis is able to articulate why he is doing this monkey business

13. I just hope he keeps it up.

11. How can the 'deep state' even exist???

Especially if it is run by and controlled by Hillary and the Democrats.

THE REPUKES HAVE ALL THE POWER! THEY HAVE THE MAJORITY IN ALL BRANCHES!

I mean it could be construed into making some kind of sense as being at least a possible thing if Democrats were the majority party. And held all branches. If they are so convinced about some nefarious secret group moving around, ordering hits and operating child porn schemes, all seemingly out of the eyes of the police, or the Justice Department, then the Repukes are simply terribly inept at uncovering an evil organization operating within their own government, in league with their own military brass, and no one lifts a finger or uncovers them? Pu......fucking.........lease.

12. vivid imaginations may explain these delusions

[duforsure]

14. If that isn't bad enough

He will also help the Republicans destroy Medicaid, Medicare, and SOCIAL SECURITY. He will also fall in line to protect putin and trump conspiring against this country .

16. I keep saying this: DeSantis is way worse than Scott

And, Scott is horrible.

It's why, even though I agree with Gillum on way more things, I voted for Gwen. Andrew will never win the Panhandle, or all these so-called Greast-Generation elderly Dems here in SOFL who are racist and homophobic as fuck.

[Gothmog]

17. Being worse than Scott is not easy

[quaker bill]

18. Barack Obama

lost the panhandle and white voters over 65. He won the state, twice.

[workinclasszero]

19. DeSantis is a bigot

Running a racist website and calling his opponent a monkey is all voters in Florida need to know about Trump cultist DeSantis!
