And she's been a pain in the ass ever since.

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) announced Monday that she will request state offices under her direction to ignore Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) order to lower flags to half-staff in honor of the late radio talk host icon, Rush Limbaugh.
“Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor that pays respect to fallen heroes and patriots. It is not a partisan political tool,” Fried said in a statement obtained by WFLA. “Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard the Governor’s forthcoming order to lower flags for Mr. Limbaugh – because we will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division. Lowering the flag should always reflect unity, not division, and raising our standards, not lowering them. Our flags will remain flying high to celebrate the American values of diversity, inclusion, and respect for all.”
On Friday, DeSantis said Friday that Florida will fly its flags at half-staff when Limbaugh’s body is laid to rest.

Then don’t make it one.
The United States of America was founded by divisive partisan patriots.
I did not realize it was an elected office. Thanks.

“we will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division,” unless it’s against Rush Limbaugh
“Our flags will remain flying high to celebrate the American values of diversity, inclusion, and respect for all.”....except Rush Limbaugh.
Only by the voters. Statewide constitutional officer.
Very interesting!
Let’s face it. We are so divided on this piece of geography that we are no longer a nation at least not in any meaningful sense and we should act accordingly.
That’s a face I’m glad I don’t wake up to every morning...
She is a Broward county Democrat. Nuff said.
Zactly!
I don’t recall the last time a Florida AgCom got elected governor. It seems to be more or less a last stop, getting your name on gas pumps being the most noticeable achievement to non-agricultural voters. Just my opinion, though. Someone else is far more likely to have a better grasp of history and these offices. I still haven’t figured out how she got voted in, when Republicans swept up all of the other non-legislative state offices.
Hopefully she is primaried out very soon or good Floridians bombard her office with so many phone calls she gets woke
The word “woke” is used by the left...so I stay clear of it. In the lefts eyes she is that.
All I know is the Demrats are very selective who and where they place the candidates they intend to advance....she is one of them.
FWIW, Obama ordered the flag lowered for (among others)
Nelson Mandela
fmr. Speaker Thomas Foley
fmr. Sen. Daniel Inouye
fmr. Sen. Arlen Specter
civil rights activist Dorothy Height.

And she's been a pain in the ass ever since.
She looks like she doesn’t wake up next to a man.
Probably enjoys softball and watching LPGA.
It was lowered for the sweaty drug addict George Floyd!
