A group of Florida Democratic state lawmakers was blocked from entering the Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention facility in the Everglades Thursday, despite citing legal authority for an official legislative site visit.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried issued a statement following the incident, saying, “Lawmakers on the ground were just blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called ‘safety concerns.’ This is a taxpayer-funded facility, run by the State of Florida. Our elected officials have every legal right to walk through those gates.”
Fried added, “What are Ron DeSantis and his administration trying to hide? If it’s unsafe for lawmakers to visit, how is it safe for anyone inside?”
That’s some pretty big talk
Fascism is pretty big shit.
You’re talking about “feckless posturing” when all they wanted to do was go look, or get denied the opportunity to look.
You want them to go have a fight?
I didn’t say any of that.
which, the “feckless posturing” or going armed?
Both.
