This lady needs to be prosecuted by the feds. This lady is an antisemite who targeted Dr. Peter Hotez because he is Jewish and believes in science

Ordinarily, gubernatorial press secretaries are not recognized at a national level. In fact, there are 50 governors in the United States, and off the top of my head, I can only name one of their press secretaries: Christina Pushaw, the controversial spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Last summer, for example, Twitter felt the need to briefly suspend Pushaws account for violating rules on abusive behavior. Around the same time, the CEO of the Associated Press reached out to Floridas Republican governor, urging him to address his press secretarys harassing behavior.
A few months later, Pushaw made strange and provocative comments about an eastern European country adopting vaccine passports following a meeting with the Rothschilds a popular boogeyman for anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists. (Confronted with a backlash, she walked all of this back soon after.)
Earlier this year, Pushaw made headlines again for making homophobic comments in defense of her boss controversial policy that critics have labeled the Dont Say Gay law.,,,,
I dont have any additional information on this, but as a rule, when the Justice Department contacts someone about their work for a foreign government, the situation has advanced to a rather serious stage.
As for the bigger picture, MSNBCs Chris Hayes added this morning that its absolutely astounding the raw percentage of America First types who are literal foreign agents.

Given the fact that the DOJ notified this antisemite, registration hopefully will not get her off the hook

Dr. Hotez was the guest speaker at my Temple's high holy day services. The man has developed a cheaper vaccine that is being used in India and other countries.
DeathSantis' stooge repeatedly attacked Dr. Hotez
