more business. Said that they needed to do this because the FBI got rid of all the racist groups like the KKK back in the '90s, and the SPLC would have ceased to exist unless they ginned up cases. This is what MAGAS believe. Said if I don't believe him, all I'd have to do is look it up. He also said he liked Kash Patel. As soon as he said that, I said, "The fact that you like Kash Patel says it all. I've heard enough," and I walked away shaking my head. He said all of this at the entrance counter where 3 young, black men and one young, white woman were working. He was addressing me and the white worker. He later came up to me while I was on an elliptical and said, "You really need to look that up. You'll see I'm right. And I'll concede that Kash is in over his head." I just laughed and sarcastically said, "Ya think?" Living in Florida is never dull.
