A Republican could have icicles hanging off of them and they’ll claim they were sweating. It’s wishing and hoping that Rubio loses which isn’t reality. DeSantisLand has no chance of becoming a Lib haven anytime soon.
I know you didn't mean this literally, but you are literally accurate.
Val happens to be fairly dark skinned naturally and she rides motorcycles, runs marathons and has been spending a lot of time on the campaign trail in the hot FL sun apparently without benefit of enough sun screen or hats because there are times she is far closer to literally black than brown.
Look at Rubios ads and its clear they used the darkest version of her they could find because they know the base they are pandering to.
It's so obvious it's pathetic.
Yep. The GOP has run on racial animus for decades. There is no GOP without the racism and their other hostile resentments against Jewish people and women and migrants. This is who they are and whipping up hate and fear in their bigoted base is what they do in an election season.
Here in 2022 their toxicity is louder, uglier and more open as they push their midterm phony platform of crime. They have chosen to run on crime without any plan to address crime as their objective is only to ramp up racist rhetoric and foment divisiveness and increased civil strife here in the USA.
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville from Alabama told rally attendees in Nevada, last week, that "Black people are criminals." He went on to say, "Democrats and Blacks want crime because they want to take over what you got." No one in the GOP pushed back or condemned him.
Marjorie Taylor Greene pf GOP fame spews her White Nationalist conspiracy theories all across the nation. No one from the Republican Party will condemn her. Rather MAGA Republicanism cheers her forward.
Republican Senate candidates, including J.D. Vance in Ohio, Mastriano in Pennsylvania and Masters in Arizona, have used language that is similar to Greene’s. All Trump appointed and anointed candidates embraced by the GOP.
Kari Lake's racist campaign (Republican TV star running for governor in Arizona) likens all Native Americans to bloodthirsty savages who engage in human sacrifice. No one affiliated with the GOP will speak up against her.
GOP Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, more than once, has said he wasn't afraid of Trump's White insurrectionists on Jan 6 at the Capitol, but had they been "Biden's Black Lives Matter" thugs he'd have been concerned & scared. Np Republican Party pushback.
Republican Gov DeSantis actually attempts to strip Black Floridians of their power and voice at every turn. Volumes have been written about his policies and rhetoric which reveal racism only rivaled by that of the de facto leader of the GOP, one Donald J. Trump, who is hailed for his racial rhetoric, boorish bigotry and prejudiced platform.
GOP race-baiting, aka the Southern Strategy, has paid off for the Republican Party, so expect their bigotry against fellow Americans to not only be condoned but to accelerate, here in 2022. It's all they've got.

Can you please link to where he said specifically the bolded comments?
*in before any personal attacks - not supporting his comments

He didn't say that... what he said was that Democrats want descendants from slaves to have reparations because they are pro crime. It was an odd statement, probably not exactly what he wanted to say but it doesn't really matter.. Anything a Republican candidate says is dubbed as Racist.. That used to fly but it doesn't carry as much weight now because its over used and folks realize its simply garbage that Dems throw at Repubs when they got nothing else.
No doubt there are some racist tendencies from both sides of the aisle but if Dem supporters think Repubs have a monopoloy on that trope, they are flat out wrong. In their eyes, if you vote Repub your a racist.. its really that simple. Its sad but its true.
I used to think Rubio was one of the better Republicans. He went after Trump in 2016 (remember "Little Marco" and Tiny Hands Trump"?).
But then Trump won and Rubio started sucking up to him, just like every other spineless Republican, including Lindsay Graham and Chris Christie. Now Rubio has sunk so low it's sad.
He's running adds in Florida claiming that Democrats are "...trying to turn little boys into girls.." Is he really that desperate? Is he that afraid of Val Deming that he has to make up ridiculous crap instead of campaigning on the issues?

In the current environment Rubio is not afraid of Demings in the least. He is just giving the majority of Florida voters the type of messaging that they want. The state isn't interested in electing anyone from the "Democrat" party, and this is based on both issues and "tribal" identity.
In red state America which includes Florida, the Republican message is simple - if you're a Democrat, we'll tie you to Biden, Harris, Schumer, Pelosi and the Squad - and by default you're against normal, law abiding Americans. For better or worse, that messaging is working.
