Ocala Star ^ | 1/12/22 | CAPITAL BUREAU

Flags in Florida will fly at half-staff to honor the late U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, Gov. Ron DeSantis' office announced Wednesday evening.

Reid, a Democrat, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2018. He died Dec. 28 at the age of 82.

Reid "will be remembered for the way he demonstrated immense grit and determination in his personal life and political career," DeSantis' office said in a statement.

Apparently DeSantis didn’t research the corrupt, dirty bastard Harry Reid.

I was thinking the same. We have like 8 truly conservative leaders.. i never agree with them 100%. That is healthy.
We saw Ted Cruz go on attack mode on the J6 gulag after we called him out on his terrist remark.
Is he perfect, nope, nor any other, but the lowering of the flag does not directly violate my 2A, my belief that God gives life at conception, my belief that only citizens should be voting, receive Constitutional rights, receiving taxpayer dollars, chromosomes determine gender.
We always pull out the popcorn when the left eats their own, but when we do it.. they get that drunk with power boost.
Im not giving them that.

Need a hydraulic, or geared flag pole, with extra high powered lighting, for when these demonic hoards start dying off.

Every time one dies, we raise the flag way up, and hit the million candle power switch, and play Battle Hymn of the Republic at some crazy decibel level!

And here comes DeSantis, charging to the left in hopes of capturing those mushy middle votes.

Harry Reid in Hell.

The expression on his face is not because he's feelin the Bern, it's that Ruthie Ginsberg is dancing naked in front of him for enternity.

Did they lower them for Ted Bundy too?

No--but the folks in Raiford and the surrounding area turned their lights off at execution time to make sure Ole' Sparky had what she needed to smoke him.

Reid was a corrupt and partisan politician. Why is he being celebrated?

A pity how many folks freak out every time one of "the good guys" like DeSantis makes a gesture like this. It's politics, pure and simple, and taking the high road is something conservatives are supposed to do.

Relax, folks. Every movement, every word, anything and everything DeSantis does from here on out is going to be short-stroked by the hateful leftmedia, in order to create wedges and division. Don't fall for it.

No US flag should be lowered for a single individual.

Depends on the individual. Career criminal politician - NO!
Someone who earned the Medal of Honor? — YES!

Nope. NO individual. The flag flies high and proud, not depressed, sad, and cowering.

Does this win DeSantis political points because nobody in Florida really gives a damn about the corrupt Harry Reid. This move makes zero sense.
