charged with. they don t have anything to say about the criminal activity, alleged criminal activity that trump and his campaign engaged in. they want to blow right past that and go back to their greatest hits rhetoric. to gaslight all of us, and i don t think it s going to work. i think this is a tired old playbook that we have seen time and again, and all the while, we have seen now the american people don t care about these republican baseless witch hunts masquerading as investigations. they want their lawmakers to focus on stuff that matters to them in their day-to-day lives. the fact republicans are at this retreat right now which probably is being paid for with taxpayer dollars and brainstorming ways they can act as a legal defense entity for donald trump to act as the opposition research department for the trump legal defense team is an egregious waste of taxpayer dollars and in my opinion, a violation of the oath of office they re supposed to take. an interesting drama in flo
chairwoman, maybe the best they have had in a while, trolled him for it on twitter. he said, i have to say something. here s what he said. i don t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star, to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. i just can t speak to that. but what i can speak to is that if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments, that s an example of pursuing a political agenda. i notice he said porn star hush money twice. so did donald trump. this was his response. ron will probably find out about false accusations and fake stories in all caps some time in the future as he gets older, wiser, and better known. when he s unfairly and illegally
trump wanted to do. he wound up instead basically taking children from their parents, some who were breast feeding children, and moving them around the country, which was despicable and gross, but technically, that was in the federal purview. this is now a state that appears to have extracted migrants from a different state and brought them through florida, and then used this law. can you put this law back up? this is two, downtown sterling brown, my director, that says this allowed, according to their law, the transport of unauthorized aliens from the state to other parts of the country. these were texas, people in texas. nicky fried has called it human trafficking. how do you see it? you know, joy, i would call it something even simpler. i would call it kidnapping by inveiglement. it s a word we don t often hear,
this. and for managing migrants. republican governors interfering in that process and using migrants as political pawns is shameful. is reckless. and just plain wrong. and remember, these are people who are fleeing communism, who are fleeing hardship. david, is there any conversation that s being had through your reporting about whether or not this is a crime? because this has been called trafficking. there s a lot of chatter now that what these governors, including ron desantis have done, is to have trafficked these families. right, and that s something that a lot of people are asking the department of justice to look into, including california governor gavin newsom, and democratic democrat nicky fried who was our acroculture commissioner. it s such an unusual thing that happened and we still know so few details about the mechanics
the last day for that was this past sunday. today is it. it s primary election day and the last chance for registered democrats and registered republicans because this is a closed primary system to go ahead and weigh their voices. the only statewide elected democrat in florida is the agricultural secretary, nicky fried. she cast her ballot in tallahassee. she thinks the momentum is with her. looking at across the board, we have strength in younger votes and women votes. we know that as long as the people are voting, we re in good shape today. he primary opponent is former republican governor, charlie crist that voted in st. pete. he switched parties in 2012. despite state republicans out registering democrats this cycle, he doesn t think florida is totally red yet.
