Florida Senate president condemns 'threats' during DeSantis dispute

[Zorro]

Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, his wife and children received “violent threats,” according to the Senate president.

Florida’s agriculture commissioner and his family received “violent threats” during the bruising two-week fight with Gov. Ron DeSantis over immigration enforcement, the state’s Senate president said Tuesday.

Republican Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, his wife and children and other state workers were threatened, Senate President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, told lawmakers.

Who was responsible for the threats wasn’t announced. Simpson’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

But Albritton blamed people with “keyboard courage” who “intentionally inflamed the public and incited violence against a good man and his family.”

Lots of American Nazi Party infighting these days.

2. "Who was responsible for the threats wasn't announced."

But you know if there was any tiny chance it could be blamed on liberals or *gasp* Antifa, they would be screaming about it nonstop.
