Mayor Curry is a RINO. At the start of CoVID he threatened to condemn buildings not obeying his (illegal) orders. He had a couple decent weeks and it looked like DeSantis was warming up to him, and now this — his political career needs to end.
The JEA issue will land on him eventually.
I agree on Lenny Curry. His Covid restrictions were more severe than those of the state and I think DeSantis had to have a chat with him about this. Curry is, like all RINOs, trying to prove his bona fides to the left. What he doesn’t realize is that they don’t care, and they’ll still hate him.
So what’s next? The statue of Andrew Jackson. Btw, I think Jackson was horrible. He hated Catholics, Spanish speakers and blacks. He was not only a cruel slaveholder but sent slave catchers after his escaped slaves...and rewarded them if they would beat or torture the slaves before sending them back. He was also responsible for that horrible incident of the black fort.
But be that as it may, he was an historical reality, important to the people of the time, had an impact on history and local history, and its perfectly legitimate to have a statute of him. We’re not worshipping him, just commemorating that moment in our history .
Everything could easily be explained on informational plaques or signs around any of these statues, But that’s not what they want...not knowledge and understanding, but propaganda and hatred.
