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.

TDS runs deep. Like covid-fear and masking, it sometimes causes otherwise intelligent, decent people to behave irrationally and inhumanely... as appears to be what has happened to the triggered Miss Nikki with this.
Can’t find anything new on Andrew Gillum’s legal problems.
Has this been dropped down the judicial memory hole?
I read a lot. I browse. It could be a tell.
😎
A farmer’s daughter she is not.
And her farmer father.
Maybe we should call or email her.
not everyone loves Rush, however, the real story is that she violated the Governor’s orders and got away with it.
Since she’s elected, would she need to be impeached, or could De Santis just fire her?
She’s also a gun grabber. I knew this bitch was trouble the moment she took me over as Ag Sec
Call her office:
850-617-7700
Let it ring until it is answered. Mine took 17 rings. Be polite, but let her know she is being petty and making Florida look like a political war.
True.
Hi. A quick story. Frked accused Rush of various slurs on air. She couldn’t even recount one of the slurs Rush supposedly said. So...
The First lady heard Fried’s screed and called the secretary at her office on a recorded line. Accusing her of projection, and that SHE was the racist.
It was glorious.

Yep...this is clear insubordination.
Oh I know, I personally don’t like the word.
What a petty, petty little b*tch. Shame on Florida for electing this woman to office.
The office was stolen.
oh, she is elected, wow, some states have many positions that are elected...so, I guess that’s why she did that and has to be impeached....
I sent her a not-too-nice email. I believe George Floyd’s rectum was mentioned.
