The Florida Democratic Party is betting that at least some of its email list is outraged over open hair and nail salons.
A fundraising email Thursday said that Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ decision to allow these shops to open demonstrated a “blatant disregard for the people of Florida.”
The FDP asserts, in somewhat garbled syntax, that “DeSantis decided to extend Florida’s state of emergency by nearly two months while simultaneously declaring businesses such as hairdressing and nail salons to open.”
“This essentially forces workers to either risk infection in the service industry or lose their source of income. We cannot allow this kind of blatant disregard for the people of Florida to continue,” the FDP email says, adding that a donation will “help us elect Democrats across Florida to oppose [the Governor’s] negligence!”
Earlier this month, the Governor decided to allow the shops to reopen, even as other contact-intensive personal services, such as tattoos and massage, are still prohibited.
Worth noting: DeSantis did so only after attending a meeting in Orlando, with the Democratic Mayor of Orange County and various barbers and nail techs asserting they could do business safely.
DeSantis sat down with Mayor Jerry Demings and industry and health experts , and all parties discussed masks, sanitation, and other innovations necessary to make good grooming compliant with the new strictures of the social distancing age.
At least one barber endorsed the reopening heartily.
“We are ready to get back to work and make some money,” Orlando’s John Henry said in a video announcing the reopening.
“But getting back to work, we want to be safe to continue to wear gloves, wear masks, bookmark appointments and continue to keep the community safe. I know everyone is happy to come out and support the barbershop, and we want to continue to keep one thing in mind, safety is always first.”

Is whoever thought up this campaign in their right mind? Do Democratic Party leaders have a death wish? This is bad politics.

My Guess is A.G Gancarski is a uneducated POS that has no understanding what Barber Shops and Salon do for sanitation….This is the reason why so many dip Shts like him should not be allowed to write as all they do is spread fake news….

Also A.G Dum ASS Gancarshi is danger to small businesses as the Democrats believes in big government and want to erase the small business so they can control your life!

The dems in the House have still not returned to Washington, but guess what, they’re still getting their FULL TAXPAYER PAY CHECK, so they don’t give a 💩 whether any small business reopens.. They want to keep everything locked down so that we turn into a socialist country and they have power over us.
We can’t let that happen. We are proud Americans who work and earn everything we get and not depend on the government to take care of us.
Our President will get us back on track, so let’s give him four more years to do it.
