Can anyone be this stupid and/or insensitive?

[Iliyah]

1. Yes they can . ..

2. Yes they can be that stupid/insensitive.

Look around you. There are millions of them out to pwn them some libs, and fill glasses with liberal tears. They're mean people to the core.

3. Well...

Anthony Sabatini, a 30-year-old Florida state representative and former city commissioner, also has a damning blackface photo on his record. While a sophomore at Eustis High School, the current Howey-in-the-Hills Republican dressed up as one of his African American friend, complete with blackface, do-rag and gold chains.

...

According to the Daily Commercial, the freshman representative also "liked" a Facebook post showing two apes and Charlton Heston in a clip from the movie Planet of the Apes, with the caption reading: 'Valerie Jarrett flanked by some NRA guy and a Muslim Brotherhood grand poobah....'" This incident occurred in June of 2018, when Lake County Republican Committeeman Ralph Smith decided to defend Roseanne Barr's incredibly racist tweet comparing former Obama aide Valerie Jarret to an ape.

Plus, when Sabatini was a City Commissioner in Lake County, he famously called for the country to relocate all the removed Confederate statues to the City of Eustis, to which the city then had to issue a statement saying Sabatini's horrible ideas, "do not represent the Commission as a whole" and it "has taken no formal action regarding Confederate statues."

5. Lake County, FL. Very MAGA area. Very.

9. Parts are. Others not so much.

They throw in enough purple areas to insure their Gerrymandering works. I live in South Lake. It’s a diverse area that is not deep red. Unfortunately much of the district is bright red.

11. True. There is also Mt. Dora. It has cool modernism museum.

If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit.

A lot of David Bowie's collection is there.
