FLORIDA DEMOCRATS APPLAUD ARREST OF SINGLE NEO-NAZI DEMONSTRATOR, RENEW CALLS ON DESANTIS TO DENOUNCE NEO-NAZISM

Today, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced the arrest of one neo-Nazi involved in an anti-semitic demonstration in Orlando on June 10th. In response, the Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement:

“I’d like to thank the FDLE for arresting one of the neo-Nazis involved in Florida’s recent string of vile anti-semitic demonstrations,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “However, one arrest on a glorified vandalism charge doesn’t solve the core problem. Ron’s refusal to loudly and forcefully denounce the neo-Nazis that support him has created an environment where anti-semitism can flourish.

“Ron can point to this arrest as proof of action — and I’m sure he will — but we all know it’s not enough. For what seems like the thousandth time, we call on Ron to do the bare minimum: vocally condemn neo-Nazism and all forms of hate speech.
