Florida GOP sees ‘desperation’ in Hillary Clinton campaign stop for Kamala Harris
Debbie Wasserman Schultz gets top billing in the lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.

Clinton June 2017
The 2016 presidential nominee is spending Saturday in the Sunshine State.

Hillsborough County Democrats are going to party like it’s 2016 on Saturday, when former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton swings through Tampa as a Kamala Harris surrogate.

The Republican Party of Florida says they aren’t impressed.

“Right on cue, following Joe Biden shamelessly calling Trump supporters garbage, the Harris Campaign is bringing the Pioneer in Trump Derangement Syndrome to Florida: Hillary Rodham Clinton, better known as ‘Crooked Hillary,’” said Florida GOP Chair Evan Power.

Clinton’s visit coincides with a speaking engagement later Saturday at the Straz Center, where she is promoting a book. Yet Power sees no coincidence in what he calls “a final act of desperation for the Florida Democrats, as the GOP is turning out the early vote numbers at a record pace, with more than a 700,000-vote advantage to date.”

“The only ‘garbage’ we see in Florida is Kamala’s ‘deplorable’ economic policies, dangerous open border, and broken promises,” Power said, before taking a shot at the Chair of the Florida Democratic Party.

Nikki Fried is delusional if she thinks Hillary will make Kamala Harris more appealing to Florida voters when they have continuously rejected her dangerous Democrat policies that have crippled our economy, opened our borders, and made the world a dangerous place. We are confident that President Trump will fix all that Kamala has broken.”

            You made still another negative assertion without any basis — just as you did recently about taxing Social Security (Reagan was president when it occurred for the first time) and the bogus 1930s German Nazi gun laws claim that the ADL has refuted.

    Unless Evan Power apologizes to the people of Puerto Rico first, he has no standing to criticize.

    Welcome, Madame Secretary!

    By the way, Biden did not call Trump supporters a name – he was referring to the MSG rally where speaker after speaker, including the former president, hurled vulgar, racist, sexist and xenophobic slurs. He was referring to a comedian who echoed Trump’s October 25 remark that “the United States is the garbage can of the world.”

    I challenge anyone to cite one instance where Vice President Harris called Trump supporters a derogatory name. But I can send you thousands of links where Trump has called the Vice President and others vile, nasty names, as he always does. So stop clutching your pearls and grow up.

            Trump is a pathological liar and his MAGA minions do not deserve anyone’s trust::
            Yesterday, Trump had to hold his New Mexico rally at a private airplane hangar after city officials refused to rent the Albuquerque Convention Center to the campaign because it still owes Albuquerque almost $445,000 from a similar rally in 2019.
