The Florida Jewish Legislative Caucus is criticizing the appointment of Scott Yenor as a University of West Florida (UWF) Trustee over comments widely criticized as antisemitic.
The bipartisan group called on Gov. Ron DeSantis to reconsider naming the controversial nominee to the UWF board.
“We respectfully urge Governor DeSantis to reconsider this appointment and work to ensure that Florida’s universities reflect the principles of fairness, strong moral character, and commitment to the success of all students,” a caucus statement reads.
Rep. Michael Gottlieb, a Davie Democrat and Chair of the caucus, issued the statement on behalf of the bipartisan group after UWF Trustees elected the Boise State University professor as Board Chair.
The Jewish Legislative Caucus expressed “deep concern” over Yenor’s elevation.
“His history of antisemitic and misogynistic rhetoric is not only deeply offensive but also incompatible with the principles of leadership and integrity that should define Florida’s higher education system,” the caucus statement reads.
“Florida’s universities should be centers of academic excellence, preparing students to contribute to our state’s economic strength and national security. Allowing individuals with a track record of divisive and prejudiced remarks to hold positions of influence within our institutions undermines that mission and erodes public trust.”
After his selection, past comments about whether women should pick motherhood over higher education immediately generated headlines. More controversy in recent months followed when Yenor, in since deleted social media posts, questioned whether women or Jews should be considered for leadership posts in the U.S. Senate.
That prompted Sen. Randy Fine, the only Republican Jewish member of the Senate, to question whether the Senate should confirm Yenor’s appointment.
“Just last month, Mr. Yenor publicly questioned whether Jews elected to the United States Senate could be qualified for ‘national leadership,’” Fine posted. “He must still be confirmed by the Florida Senate and I will be sharing my concerns with my colleagues. There is no place for antisemitism in our Universities, let alone in their leadership.”
Fine is also a member of the Florida Jewish Legislative caucus. The group also includes Democratic Sens. Lori Berman and Tina Polsky. Former Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book remains a member emeritus.
The group includes Republicans and Democrats in the House as well. Republican Reps. Hillary Cassel and Yvette Benarroch both serve as Vice Chairs for the caucus. Membership includes Republican Reps. Mike Caruso, Peggy Gossett-Seidman, Chip LaMarca and Michelle Salzman, as well as Democratic Reps. Rita Harris, Mitch Rosenwald, Kelly Skidmore, Allison Tant and Debra Tendrich. Former Democratic Rep. David Silvers is also a member emeritus.
“The Jewish community has long been a cornerstone of Florida’s business, legal, and civic leadership,” the caucus statement reads. “At a time when antisemitism is rising nationwide, our state must take a firm stance against those who seek to marginalize or disparage any community. Ensuring that our universities are free from this kind of rhetoric is not about political ideology, it is about upholding the fundamental values of respect, responsibility, and merit-based leadership.”
DeSantis has defended naming Yenor to the position when confronted with Yenor’s remarks on women.
“I’m not familiar with that. I mean, obviously, I think if you look at the state of Florida, we probably have a higher percentage of women enrolled in our state universities than we do men, and that’s probably grown under my tenure,” DeSantis said during the Jacksonville press conference in January. “But what I don’t do, what I don’t like is cherry-picking somebody saying this, and then trying to smear them.”

There would be no antisemitism had there been no Bolsheviks who genocide millions of Ukrainians and Russian Christians. The truth about the many genocides committed in many nations ESPECIALLY THEIR GENOCIDE OF CHRISTISNS ALL AROUND THE WORKD IS NOW NOT A SECRET ANYMORE. Look at what they just did to GAZA which msny were Christians!
Real History has betn hidden from the American people for decades now. Christianity has been infiltrated and concquered by Judaism. They have twisted false narratives in our Christian religion. CHRIST SAID AALLL OF THE PROOHESIES WERE FULFILLED THRU HIM!!! Stop listening to these FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE TEACHERS Christ WARNED US WOULD COME. THEY ARE ANTICHRISTS! 2 JOHN 1:7-11..!! They do not belong in our gov or in any place of power due to their nefarious dishonest and anti American track record. The last several presidents have helped thrm in their COUP AGSINST OUR COUNTRY due to the brainwashing and not exposing what their real ENDGAME IS. When they speak of peace and freedom,THEY ARE ONLY SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR Own PEOPLE…. NOT US!!. Enough is enough. Now they genocide innocent Palestinians whom they have tortured for over 70 YEARS NOW, with Jews always dishonestly crying victim while they stabbed is and many other nations in the back with their well organized cabal of liars and theives. Zionism is atheism. The real God of athiest Zionist are PAGAN FALSE GODS. Read a book written by a honest good Jew named Micharl Hoffman call JUDAISMS STRANGE GODS. it eill wake you up out of ypur STUPOR! You have been brainwashed by these very skilled liars.
Im not soeaking about the Orthodox Jews who are waiting for Messiah to come and live in peace with others AS IT USED TO BE IN PALESTINE BETWEEN CHRISTISNS, MUSLIMS AND JEWS. The Zionist are converts from the KHAZARIAN KING BULAN WAR MONGERING TRIBE. Khazaria was todays UKRAINE and the KHazARIAN AshkeNAZIS have been looting the US TREASURY FOR BILLIONS OF OUR MONEY. This is a crime of ROBBERY!. YOU JUST CANT FREAKING TRUST THEM.

This site Wont post my comment on the truth about the invading dishonest Zionist Jew Coup going on in America. A Jewess heading the FCC under BIDEN, the LYING KING! made it possible for New World order open borders George Soros. To buy up 200 radio stations to spew his communist, vile demonic agenda.. This is an attack against the American peopke. You just cant trust these Bolsheviks communist loving peopke because their religion plots slavery for all non-Jews. Read Michael Hoffmans book “Judaisms Strange Gods. They are pagsns.
RABBI STEPHEN WISE who was in the Woodrow Administration said, “ WHRN THE HEBREWS came out of Babylon captivity. This was the end of Hebrewism and the beginning of Judaism”
They lie and they lie, and they lie. HEBREWISM IS THE PRECURSOR OF CHRISTIANITY, NOT JUDAISM..
They lie and they lie, and they lie, and they twist the truth and to false foods and people suck it up because they don’t read the Bible and they have corrupted Christianity with Zionism, which is why America has been cursed by God and instead of sending us to Babylon he’s brought Babylon to America and they are trying to destroy our country

Biden‘s entire cabinet at the top, everyone of them was a Jew. Merritt Garland, Anthony.Blinkin,, Janet Yellen, Alejandro Mayorkus, and Stevrn Dettlebach of ATF DAILY TRIES TO GET OUR SECOND AMENDMENT TAKEN AWAY FROM US
MERRICK GARLAND RUNS THE FBI AND THE DOJ AND HE WEAPONIZED THEM AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Anthony Blinken was in charge of ELECTIONS which have been corrupted for decades now, and he was in charge of and foreign policy, and he pushed hard to give lots of our money to Ukraine, the ancient home country of KhazARISN AshkeNAZI FROM khazaria. This truth has been hidden from you,
Janet Yellen, Secretary of the treasury, allowing our money to be loaded and given to multiple nations to fund part of the religion of the athiest Jews, which is homosexuality and transgender ism. . This was treason ..Alejandro Mayorkus obviously teamed up with open borders, George Soros, and allowed millions of illegal people and criminals and mental patients into America from foreign nations. This is. TREASON.
Stephen Dettleback daily tries to destroy the second amendment and take our guns away. He has no business in the government, especially working at the ATF. He has committed treason against the American people.
If you study, you’ll find there are many many more Zionist in high powerful positions duringthe Biden administration that I have not mentioned here.
Zionist AND GENOCIDAL President HARRY SOLOMON TRUMAN SAID THIS:
“THERE there’s nothing new in history. EXCEPT THE HISTORY, YOU DO NOT KNOW.
My first post listed a lot of history, which did not get posted here so I’ll tell you a little secret about why there is antisemitism. It’s a practice of self preservation.
During communist Jewish BOLSHEVISM of which 80% of THE HIEARCHY were ran by Jews, those of us who know their history of the BOLSHEVIKS, knows that they murdered over 55 million Christian Russians and 30 million Ukrainian farmers. Knowing their history, it’s pretty scary to have them in positions of power and a lot of people know the truth about the BOLSHEVIK COMMUNIST party AND THEY WANT NO PART OF IT
WHEN THEY BROUGHT IN THOSE HORDES OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, I REMEMBERED THIS IS WHAT WAS DONE IN RUSSIA. HORDES OF IMMIGRANTS. Who were turned into a radical lunatic, psychopathic army, who murdered and tortured and crucified people on barnwalls.
Is it any wonder that people do not want them in their government just look at our government just in a few decades we’ve gone from a beautiful peaceful Christian nation to a pile of crap. Our Christian churches have been turned into propaganda organizations that it fell away from the truth of God and have been blinded. 2 Thess 2 blinded by God
Revelation 18 the great city where our Lord was Crucified (Jerusalem)
Revelation 18:20 the great city IS BABYLON
Revelation 18:1-3 BABYLON has become the home of devils and vile spirits
Revelation 18:23 Pharma Kia, the drug dealers
Revelation 18:24 they spilled the blood of prophets, saints ALL WHO WERE SLAIN UPON THE EARTH.

Were all not doomed.God tells us his people, perish for lack of knowledge. God gives bad government when the people fall away from the truth. It’s obvious for the last several decades. The Christians have fell away from the truth, and I’ve been infiltrated by Judaism, which is nothing to do with Hebrew or Christianity.
The only way for America to be great again is through God through Jesus Christ and I’m hoping that is what we’re seeing today under the Trump administration except for there’s a lot of Zionist involved, which makes me wonder if we’re still fell away from the truth of God.
Jesus said by a man’s works, you shall know him, so let’s keep an eye on these guys and see if they do the work of God or the work of Judaism as has been hoisted upon America for the last seven or many more decades as they infiltrated us and changed our religion and changed our constitution slowly so you didn’t notice
IF YOU WANT AMERICA TO BE FREE AGAIN AND A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE LIKE IT USED TO BE READ THE BIBLE, ESPECIALLY THE NEW TESTAMENT LEARN THE TRUTH AND GET RIGHT WITH GOD AGAIN AND LEAVE THE FALSE RELIGION OF ZIONISM ZIONIST. CHRISTIANITY IS AN OXYMORON AND WHEN THE TRUTH IS IN THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE AGAIN, GOD WILL BLESS THIS NATION LIKE HE USED TO IN THE BEGINNING. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY WE WILL BE FREE AGAIN IN AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN THE ONE AND ONLY WAY IS FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO FIND THE TRUTH BY READING THE BIBLE. THAT’S HOW I LEFT CHRISTIAN ‘S ZIONISM. GOD PUT IT IN MY HEART TO BE REPULSED BY THE FALSE TEACHINGS GOING ON IN MY CHURCHES AND URGED ME TO READ THE BIBLE, WHICH I DID FOR FOUR YEARS, AND I FOUND THE TRUTH AND DUMPED ZIONISM AND EMBRACE THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE YOU DO THE SAME, AND THERE WILL BE HOPE AND JOY AND BLESSINGS BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION WHEN WE GET RIGHT WITH GOD AND DUMP THE FALSE RELIGION THAT IS ATTACHED ITSELF TO CHRISTIANITY, LIKE MISTLETOE ATTACHES TO A TREE AND DESTROYS IT FROM WITHIN
I DON’T CARE IF THEY KEEP THEIR RELIGION IT’S THEIR RELIGION. IT’S THEIR BUSINESS, BUT THEY DON’T HAVE ANY RIGHT DESTROYING CHRISTIANITY WITH THEIR FALSE TEACHINGS AND THAT’S WHAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OTHERWISE WE ALL WOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE IN PEACE AS IT USED TO BE IN JERUSALEM BEFORE 1948 WHERE JEWS, CHRISTIANS, AND MUSLIMS ALL LIVED IN PEACE TOGETHER, BABY, SAD EACH OTHER‘S CHILDREN UNTIL THE INVASION OF THE PAGAN ZIONIST CABAL. Educate yourself DAN don’t be a dupe and listen to peoples lies and believe these LYING KINGS!

Read Michael Hoffmans book. Hes agood man and a good Jew.
The Book:
“Judaisms Strange Gods”
This book also has a matching video. BOTH book and video are filled with the truth .
We are under Gods Wrath Because of the un -holy alliance called Christisn Zionism. Paganism mixed with Christianity.
2 JOHN 1:7-11 God tells us NOT TO BLESS THEM NOT TO WISH THEM GODSPEED! Not to let them ibto our house /Government
By doing so amAnerica is filled with honosexuality and transgenderism which is part of their religion.
They brought abortion to America that also is a part of their religion that it’s OK to abort a child as its heads coming out of the uterus and slid its spine that it’s not a human being until it takes its first breath that’s what they believe.
They call Gods HOLY SOIRIT “SHEKINAH” a creation from the theTalmud and KABBALAH book of witchcraft and mysticism. God the father is male. NOT FEMALE. This Kabbalist Goddess is to birth the ANTICHRIST, and he is to kill all the non-Jews and hand over the Earth to these Talmudists.
Watch the movie EYES WIDE SHUT. The leader of the Jews who gave tgem Palestine is a Roth child. Did you all ever know any of this? Its a SECRET KEPT WELL HIDDEN.
HARRY SOLOMON TRUMAN, mass murderer, and genocidal psychopath, said this:
“ THERE IS NOTHING NEW IN HISTORY, EXCEPT THE HISTORY YOU DO NOT KNOW.”
Antisemitism is the product of fearing a powerful closely connected cabal who has a long history of destruction that they’ve tried to hide, but today is coming out, and people are finally learning the truth ABOUT THE HISTORY, THEY DID NOT KNOW.
