The hits keep coming for Jacksonville’s Mayor after comments she made blasting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on British radio.
Evan Power, the Chair of the Republican Party of Florida, is excoriating Donna Deegan for what he calls “antisemitic rhetoric” related to her allegation that the former President would set up “concentration camps” to deal with undocumented immigrants who have poured by the millions across the border during the Joe Biden–Kamala Harris administration.
“During a time when President Trump is the target of multiple assassination attempts, and the rhetoric of the Left continues to become more unhinged, Democrat Mayor Donna Deegan evoked harmful antisemitic language to attack President Trump,” Power said.
Deegan said Trump would put undocumented immigrants “in what would really amount to a concentration camp-type situation to round them out of the country.” Pressed on what the interviewer called “loaded” language, the Democratic Mayor said it would be a “concentration of people that are in a camp.”
Many listeners associate the phrase “concentration camps” with the Nazi German facilities that killed millions of people during the Holocaust, discounting Deegan’s caveat that she wasn’t “suggesting anything beyond” the “concentration camp-type situation” in the process.
For Power, Deegan’s comments represent “more of the same” from the Florida Democrats and Chair Nikki Fried, who “has embraced her party’s antisemitic base.”
“Just 10 days ago, the Florida Democrats hosted a fundraiser for Kamala Harris on the anniversary of the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel,” Power said.
“Fried’s insistence on embracing her party’s radical fringe is even more reason why she trails the Florida GOP in polling, fundraising, volunteers, and most of all, voters. The question remains: When will Nikki step up and condemn her party’s radical, antisemitic base?”
The Florida Democratic Party has yet to make a comment defending or condemning Deegan, whose decision to opine on a presidential candidate during what is billed as a trade mission to the United Kingdom is making more news than whatever business deals might come out of the Jacksonville Mayor’s taxpayer-funded junket.

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

Why do these snowflakes have their panties all in a bunch? Does the truth hit too close to home? Deegan didn’t call them Nazis….just Nazi-like. Where’s the lie? Methinks these offended snowflakes resemble Deegan’s remarks.

The Constitutional sheriffs and posers in Florida law enforcement are going to get a surprise if Trump is elected in Nov. and tries to eject asylum seekers. Trump is expecting local law enforcement to do the actual dirty deeds of rounding up, checking names and etc., holding them somewhere (concentrating them at the P Farm or a local Four Seasons in Duval?), and then expediting their expulsion.
Might be a good gig for Dee’s personal militia.

The bottom line is that Trump has devoured the Republican party and vomited out something motivated by hatred and selfishness. America was founded by immigrants and now has a major party whose main focus seems to be blaming everything on today’s migrants.
The mayor is probably correct. How else would you deport the 10-12 million Trump likes to brag about? That Republicans are sensitive to concentration camps but were never concerned about separating children from their parents says it all.

Gancarski and the MAGA chorus have gone bananas about Deegan’s comment in London, but Trump has been talking crazier and crazier about “purifying” the nation, and not just asylum seekers but the “enemy within”, too.

It is disgusting for the GOP to use the Holocaust to score political points. Seems nothing is beneath them anymore. Using the suffering of one group of people to silence criticism of the mistreatment of another is just shameful.

If MAGAs win the Presidency and perhaps the Congress, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
