I'm from Florida. Goin' home next week for ten days, will be doing business there.

READ THE ARTICLES.

This is not "South Bashing" or "Texas Bashing," and Florida is not the new cool place to bash. THIS IS A STUPID FUCKING GOVERNOR. If he was the governor of my state -- any state -- I don't care. He is a goddamn idiot. Don't make it into something it's not. Sometimes stupid is just stupid. Enter, Texas Governor Greg Abbott. He stepped up to the podium, he can eat his own words or stand by them. But my op had NOTHING to do with Texas Bashing or South Bashing. If you support this man, then I will bash you for being an idiot. I don't care what state you live in.
