FL: Sex and Gun Control in Florida Senate

Florida State Senator Anitere Flores (R-Miami) was a staunch Second Amendment supporter. She had a 100% rating with the NRA when she was a state representative.  She was elected to the Florida Senate, representing Miami, in 2016.  She was expected to be a key vote in the Florida Senate Judiciary Committee in 2017, supporting popular gun law reform legislation.

She surprised everyone by being the key vote to kill several gun law reform bills instead of aiding their passage.  From sunshinenews.com: 

Steube had a small victory when the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill which would allow concealed weapons permit holders to temporarily store their firearms in courthouses, but the victory was only short-lived.

Flores, a key vote on the Judiciary Committee, vowed she wouldn’t support Steube’s 10 other bills, which means they would have virtually no chance of making it onto the Senate floor.

Flores is one of five Republicans and four Democrats on the committee, so if she votes against bills and all Democrats vote in lockstep, Steube’s gun bills would be sent to their graves early.

It seems Second Amendment Supporters are not the only people Senator Anitere Flores has betrayed. Her husband is the latest in line. She has admitted to an affair with Senate Minority Leader Oscar Braynon.   From sun-sentinel.com:

Two South Florida state senators went public Tuesday to acknowledge their extramarital affair as the Florida Legislature convened under a cloud of sexual impropriety that has distracted lawmakers for months.

Their statement came after a website posted video purporting to show state Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami, entering and leaving an apartment rented by Senate Minority Leader Oscar Braynon, D-Miami Gardens.

Flores was rumored to be considering a run for Mayor of Miami this year. Miami is a heavily Democrat city. It is unknown if Flores' affair will harm or hurt her chances of being elected Mayor.  It is unlikely she would win a Republican primary.

Senator Anitere Flores scr*wed Second Amendment supporters in 2017.

It is unknown if Flores' affair will harm or hurt her chances of being elected Mayor

IF she runs as a Democrat it will help. Lack of character, dishonesty, and a history of selling out conservatives (gun owners) are resume enhancers for Democrats

That Anitere Flores is one classy broad.

[House Atreides]

The Republicans need to kick that slimy whore off of the Judiciary Committee. It’s clear that she’s advancing the interests of the penis servicing her instead of the interests of her constituents and the Florida Republican Party.

[DaveA37]

She might want to think twice before running as a republican after she “screwed” those who support the second amendment. She’s “toast”

[WayneS]

Amazing. She managed to screw the democrat and the 2nd Amendment at the same time..

[T-Bird45]

And the 19th Amendment bites us in the butt again!

[dljordan]

“And the 19th Amendment bites us in the butt again!”

The gift that keeps on giving.

[rarestia]

Umm... the 19th amendment allowed women to vote. Do you mean the 17th amendment, or are you being deliberately sexist?

[riverrunner]

Allowing women to vote was one of the worst decisions this country has made.

[rarestia]

Ah. Okay. There are a half dozen other onerous amendments passed upon this country, but the right for women to vote was the worst?

[vladimir998]

“Ah. Okay. There are a half dozen other onerous amendments passed upon this country, but the right for women to vote was the worst?”

In riverrunner’s defense, he said “one” of the worst amendments passed. He didn’t say it was THE worst.

We have consistently expanded the franchise in the United States since the founding.

Now we are looking to allow felons to vote.

It may be coincidental that expanding the franchise has occurred with increasing federal power.
