A man running for Florida governor has been arrested on charges he battered two older people in a home. Kevin Cichowski, 46, was charged with multiple counts of aggravated battery, tampering with a witness and robbery, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

Cichowski is listed as a Democratic candidate for governor with the Florida Division of Elections and previously ran for Palm Coast mayor in 2021. The primary is scheduled Aug. 18, and the race to replace Gov. Ron DeSantis includes dozens of candidates. In body camera footage shared with The Associated Press, Cichowski claimed his parents were going through a mental health problem and that his father tried to kill him.

“I haven’t done anything wrong,” Cichowski said as officers escorted him to a patrol vehicle. “This is insane.”

Democrats are violent.
Yet, Democrats identify conservatives as violent domestic threats.

Democrats try to seize political power in the most unscrupulous ways.
Yet, Democrats claim to “defend democracy“.

Democrats claim that every woman with a claim of sexual impropriety should be believed.
Yet, Democrats push well-known stories about Eric Swalwell under the carpet until it’s convenient for them to out him.

Democrats claim to stand up for women’s rights.
Yet, Democrats are in favor of men beating the crap out of women in sports.

There are many other examples, but I have to mow.

The insane Democrats have really been going over the edge a lot these days. I don’t know why anybody in their right mind would vote for them. The “dudes” have allowed the mentally ill, angry screaming banshees and mammies to take over the party of death.

Homegrown Florida Man for Governor.

Like California it is two easy to get on the ballot in Florida although the Florida fee or petition requirements are high. The have 45 candidates.

I don’t think that many will get on the ballot.
