UPDATE — see comments. Florida: Democrat Defends Marjorie Taylor Greene(R)’s Freedom of Speech

Donalds is not a (D).

Floridian Press:

Conservative Rep. Byron Donalds (D) has taken issue with fellow Florida Rep. Ted Deutch (D) and his call for controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie  Taylor Greene (R), to not only be tossed from the U.S. House of Representatives but for her Freedom of Speech to be stripped away.

“Rep. Greene denied the school shooting in Parkland & insulted the memory of the 17 murdered. She attacked brave student leaders fighting for their lives,” tweeted Deutch. “She shouldn’t have a public platform to further spread dangerous lies. Not on a House Committee. Not as a Member of Congress.”

Rep. Donalds told The Floridian that Rep. Deutch’s suggestion that Rep. Greene be de-platformed was “utterly ridiculous.”

“No member of Congress, and frankly no American, should have their First Amendment rights taken away from them simply because we may or may not like the things that they say,” said Donalds.

Donalds brought up a good point in that Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders’ free speech wasn’t taken away when his “rhetoric” influenced a deranged supporter to open fire during a congressional baseball team practice, wounding House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R). more

  1. :::::: : Maybe it is the optimist in me, but maybe there are enough reasonable Democrats out there (yes I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms) who are beginning to say enough is enough.

  2. Sorry RadioMatt, but the reasonable democrats get their news and information from NPR, FakeBook and the like. They may be reasonable, but they don’t know any better.

    I have to remain skeptical in order to maintain my sanity.

  3. Democrat: It means irrational, authoritarian, emotionally unstable, overwrought with a glut of cruel instincts.
    It’s pointless to waste any attempt to reason with them especially when they smell blood in the water.
    This asshole in Florida is trying to join the pile up on Greene and he needs some of the same medicine. Use their own tools to go back after them!

  4. Did the reported just assume Donalds was a D because, you know. I used to live in the Ft. Myers/Naples area and met Byron a number of times. He and his wife are good people.

  6. When RINO Francis Rooney decided not to run again this past November for congress representing Lee and a portion of Collier counties, Byron Donalds won his seat. Byron is a Trump supporter and a staunch conservative. Before that, Donalds was a republican in the Florida house. He and his wife & children live in Naples and are fine folks. Wonder why the author did no research, instead automatically assuming Donalds was a D?
