Exclusive — Rising Conservative Influencer Pedro Gonzalez Regularly Espoused Racist and Anti-Semitic Sentiments in Private Messages - pro-Florida Gov. Ron Desantis influencers on Twitter.
Breitbart ^ | June 27, 2023 | Matthew Boyle

Pedro Gonzalez, a rising conservative influencer and politics editor of Chronicles magazine, regularly in 2019 and 2020 sent racist and antisemitic messages, Breitbart News can reveal after reviewing months’ worth of his private messages.

More recently, Gonzalez has become perhaps most well-known as one of the most active and strident pro-Florida Gov. Ron Desantis influencers on Twitter.

Gonzalez responded to the Breitbart News investigation after this article was published by claiming he is a target of Trump and that is why these messages became public.

The DeSantis campaign–and DeSantis himself–remain silent at this moment. The pro-DeSantis Super PAC, Never Back Down, however, called Gonzalez’s statements as exposed in this article “inexcusable” and made clear that Never Back Down has no relationship with him.

I don’t think he knew about it. Brietbart had a history of causing trouble.

Breitbart is in the tank for Trump and if, as Trump does, they can attack DeSantis from the left, they will.

Ah.... nothing is desantis’ fault or responsibility.

desantis lies....

desantis plays games with people....

desantis breaks FEC regulations and commits campaign finance fraud.....

desantis promotes and signs a bill on antisemitism and hate crimes.... and has a person with antisemitism working social media with his campaign.....

Nothing bothers desantis supporters...

What about the Trump supporters who think Israel runs the US?

Ah, you pulled the old MSM David Duke angle out of the playbook.

OLD! WEAK!

David Duke supports Trump = Trump is a racist too.

Trump supporters who think Israel runs the US = Trump is antisemitic too.

CHEAP!

You didn’t read the article?

The desantis campaign promoted gonzalez.

The campaign itself refused to comment if gonzalez worked or was otherwise connected to the desantis or the campaign.

Note the super pac neverbackdown said there was no connection between them and gonzalez....

team desantis doesn’t want to acknowledge gonzalez was working for them.
