Florida GOP demands Andrew Gillum fire staffer who wore profane shirt insulting Trump voters

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) this week called on Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum to fire a staffer who wore a shirt with an insult directed at Americans who voted for President Trump in the 2016 election.

Manny Orozco-Ballestas, the campaign's director of youth outreach, posted a photo to his Instagram last summer, showing him wearing a shirt depicting the 2016 electoral map, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The paper published the photo, which says in writing that the blue states form “The United States of America,” while the red states are labeled “Dumbf---istan.”

"It is unbelievable to me that Andrew Gillum would not only employ, but promote on social media, a person who calls voters 'dumb f----' for electing Republicans," RPOF Chairman Blaise Ingoglia said in a news release.

To be honest, I've seen this sort of t-shirt with the labels reversed.

In any case, keep it classy, dems.

They say that Gillum has a big lead over DeSantis. I have difficulty understanding that. He’s an empty suit... and a corrupt one at that.

There is a lot to what you say, particularly here in FL. They got it spectacularly wrong in 2016.

But it’s difficult to speculate because the State has changed so much due to immigration from Puerto Rico.

The Gop primary has 200,000 more voters than the Dem primary .
they had a 6 person race vs only 2 person .

The Gop polling has both at 40 %.

But Desantis must start his ad blitz about the socialist .

Where is it ?

Every time he opens his mouth the media trashes him and he backs off. The media obviously wants Gillum.

So true .

The media loves black socialists .

We had on in the WH for 8 years .

Desantis needs to send out ads and do radio shows.

Where is he ?

He could do Rush in PB .

We have a few popular radio shiws but no Desantis .

I am of the impression that the same "they" who are saying Gillum has such a huge lead are the same folks who predicted Hillary in a landslide two years ago.

Be that as it may, always work like you're 20 points behind.

Whoever this asshat is, don’t fire him, make him the poster boy for DeSantis’ ads; “This is what Gillum thinks of Florida and Floridians, dumbf**ks!”

SLEAZE is what they do!
