Golf cart protests intensify in the Villages, as one anti-Trump Florida man receives threat
Orlando Weekly ^ | 1/31/2020 | Solomon Gustavo

"Be very careful if the well being of your family is of importance."

That's the threat Ed McGinty of the Villages said he received in the form of a hand-written note left on his door. McGinty, who was a counter-protester at a recent pro-Trump Villages golf cart parade, evidently has a reputation that precedes him.(snip)

According to Villages-News.com, who refers to McGinty as a "well-known anti-Trump protester," this threat is part of the reason he hit the streets using – what else? – his golf cart, decked out with signs calling Trump all kinds of things: "Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA," "Trump Bigot and Racist," "Trump Is A Sexual Predator," "Trump Filthy Pig," and "Trump Compulsive Liar."

On the afternoon of Jan. 28,(snip) He said Sumter County sheriff’s deputies stopped by because so many people called them to complain. McGinty said the deputies told him they couldn't do anything about his protesting and noted he can't impede traffic.

The show-stopper was a cameo by Villager Marsha Hill – honestly, its like self-parody at this point – whippin' a golf cart like skrt. She told McGinty that his signs were "blasphemy" and that he should be locked up. She also said she was going to send footage of the signs to the Trump campaign.

Hill said she was driving by and needed to step to this man. The Sumter deputies were there, too, and heard Hill's complaints. She told deputies that McGinty called her a "pig." Again, the deputies said they couldn't do anything about his protest.

You might see McGinty around. He said he likes to drive his FTD cart ("f--- Donald Trump,") an hour or so every day in his Village of Hadley, to let his very Republican neighbors know.

I have heard the Villages have a high rate of sexually transmitted diseases!

It's a myth. One article by the Post I think and that's all it took. From what I understand the rate of STDs is less than the average for the state of Florida. Some one took "fastest growing rate", I.E. One case to Two cases is a 100% increase! and turned it into an STD epidemic.

He did it himself or had someone he knows do it.

Just another fake hate crime.

I might listen to some of these freaks if the sign read “Trump is a compulsive liar, just like Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pilousy, AOC, Chuck Schumer, Adam Shiff.”

Until demonrats start putting their own in jail. They have no moral high ground to call anyone a liar.

That said, Many leftists have a problem disinguishing lies from opinions. Mr. Trump often states opinions they don’t like. Since they can’t deal with the facts they call his oppinons lies

“You might see McGinty around. He said he likes to drive his FTD cart (”f-— Donald Trump,”) ...”

One wonders if the FTD thing is a typo or if McGinty is just that stupid.

Orlando Weekly is one of those far-left wing free papers you get on the corner where the hookers hang out.

Another typical hoax by a progressive socialist democrat.
It’s just what they do.

I’ve heard golf carts like that catch fire spontaneously, for no discernible reason...

"Dozens of golf carts spontaneously combust each year. It's just not widely reported."

So Ed McGinty is linked to pedophiles.
I’ve heard it before. (Well, it was mentioned earlier in this post.)
Concerned neighbors should maybe print up some signs for their golf carts.

Oh, the note happened alright. But no one asked Mr. McGinty why he wrote it and left it on his own door.

(Like we really have to...)
