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.

bet he lowered the flags for the queers who got shot at the disco, though.
She looks like a nasty beotch. Friedbrain.
It’s a face you wouldn’t want looking up at you, besides it would spill your beer.
like whitney drugged out houston was a patriot or vet or anything othe than a singing drug addict
She belongs in Rio Linda.
I will personally buy her a one-way ticket to Rio Linda. No Joke, not kidding.
If it was 2018, then that one was almost lost by Scott and De Santis due to the counting cheat-o-rama going on. She was put over the top by it, presumably, while the deranged astronaut and the bathroom floor sleeper weren’t as lucky.
I wonder if the governor has some way to get back at her? Does he control her budget in some way? Does he control her protective detail or the vehicles she what access to? Does he control her travel allowance?
My guess is that if she wants to be petty, there are plenty of ways to fight back.
Fried is a POS dem who is planning on running against our noble and great governor. I wish her the worst.
She is the agriculture secretary. The Republican candidate was a farmer, Nikki ran on legalizing marijuana.
That’s just mean girl action.
Yes people still getting permits with her. We got ours last year, took every single day, 14 weeks plus a couple days to receive our CCP. 8-10 weeks to approve = 10 weeks, up to 2 weeks to “process”, = 2 more weeks, “allow 2 weeks for mailing” = took 17 more days, but we are good to go for 7 years now.
I walk by a Marriot Hotel each day, and their flags are at half staff.
I scanned through Wiki. The family appears to have a multi-generation relationship with the Republican Party, but there was nothing more specific than that.
Anyway, since I live in a flagrantly Marxist urban area, I was quite touched when I saw the flags, but I am not certain about the reason.
“So nobody’s getting a CCW down there until she’s out?
Actually, that is not the case. CWP are being distributed as required by law, but, Fried has tried on one or two occasions to slow the process down citing a couple of dopey reasons (which I honestly don’t recall, sorry) that make Democrats nod their heads. She has however been over ridden by the legislature, Governor, and the gun enthusiasts of FL. That said, as the only elected Democrat member of the DeSantis administration, she remains and distinct threat to the 2A in FL. She needs to be replaced in 2022.
She can’t be fired. She’s the only statewide democrat left in the state. She’s going to run against DeSantis in 2022 no doubt.
Right, she slowed the process and she also tried to get her mug shot on every gas pump in the state.
I grew up in Broward.
In 1964, Goldwater actually carried the county 80,000 to 60,000!
Christi lowered the flag for the NJ druggie which was ridiculous.
