3 Florida radio stations vow to broadcast Trump speeches daily until end of 2020 election

3 Florida radio stations vow to broadcast Trump speeches daily until end of 2020 election
By Tiffini Theisen | Orlando Sentinel | May 13, 2019 | 11:03 AM

Two days after President Trump rallied his base in Florida’s Panhandle, vowing hundreds of millions of dollars in aid for the hurricane-devastated region, three local radio stations said they would air Trump speeches daily until the 2020 election.

The stations will broadcast two-minute snippets of Trump speeches every hour of every day -- perhaps sometimes twice an hour -- until the end of the presidential race, owner Samuel Rogatinsky said.

“We ran it by a bunch of listeners and people in the area, and nobody’s upset about it. It’s Republican territory,” Rogatinsky said Monday. “Nobody’s offended by it. It’s not an issue.”

Rogatinsky, a Fort Lauderdale-based attorney, bought the three radio stations from Powell Broadcasting Company late last year.

Will hazard a guess and say that his listeners are trump supporters.

Thank the cosmos that his station is only heard in a small section of Boca.

I know Republicans ARE the party of faith but remember St Reagan's sage advice: "Trust, but verify." I read recently that the Republicans passed legislation to make it easier for veterans to see health care providers outside of the VA system, but they have yet to FUND it!! Pretty good work if you can get away with that.
And really, for the love of Pete, these poor folks already live in Florida, why punish them even more?
