Golf cart chaos in Florida! (The Villages)

https://occupydemocrats.com/2020/01/30/chaos-erupts-in-florida-village-as-retirees-call-cops-issue-threats-over-golf-cart-trump-protest/?fbclid=IwAR0Ao8lzbBn7MaNG0fQCM0u22gvcS56lt2tvrSoWVfBiJJv6ESd-wWAKbcc

Ed McGinty is a “well known” political activist, according to the Village News, who “was parked in his golf cart in the grassy area by Odell Circle with signs on his golf cart that read “Trump Is A Sexual Predator,” “Trump Filthy Pig,” “Trump Compulsive Liar,” “Trump Bigot and Racist” and “Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA.”

The threats only served to inspire McGuinty, who lives in a city of 122,000 people that is quite literally owned by Republicans and is one of the most heavily GOP registered places in Florida. It is also one of the party’s fastest-growing areas as retirees flock to a community better known for grandparents known for excessive binge drinking and who regularly get DUIs in golf carts.

“He called me a pig!” Hill screamed as two Sumter County sheriff’s deputies arrived to speak with McGinty. “He called me a pig for no reason because I asked him why he thought the president was a sexual predator.”
“That’s blasphemy,” she said of McGinty’s signs about Trump. “You don’t say that about the president of the United States.”
Sadly for Hill, the Sumner County deputies refused to violate McGinty’s free speech rights under the First Amendment and informed him that they’d received numerous complaints about his protests and he’s free to keep doing so just as long as he doesn’t block the golf cart paths.


When will the Villages be on Live PD?? That would be entertaining!

Quote Of The Day: Sen. Marco Rubio

Florida Senator Marco Rubio released a statement on Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. He will not be voting to remove the president from office. But for us, this quote from the statement jumps off the page:

“Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office.” Sen. Marco Rubio R-FL
