The original draft of the email below was sent this morning to NPR’s Miami correspondent Greg Allen, several of his NPR colleagues, including CEO John Lansing, and staffers for U.S. Rep. Val Demings (D-FL), Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).
Dear Greg,
Your reporting this morning includes much partisan hyperbole that condemns Florida’s new voting law as an “un-American” effort to suppress minority voting. But that ignores recent voting trends in Florida and elsewhere, and it makes what many of us believe are erroneous assumptions about future voting.
You’ll recall that black Democrat and self-proclaimed bisexual Andrew Gillum lost the Sunshine State’s last gubernatorial race because minority moms disapproved of his anti-charter schools position and minority dads disapproved of his sexual positions with drugged young men in motels.
Looking ahead, as teachers union president Randi Weingarten writes Democrats’ policies that keep poor kids out of good schools; and as the Biden Justice Department, blue state mayors and governors further hobble police and leave black and brown neighborhoods defenseless against emboldened violent criminals, minority voters may be increasingly inclined to vote for more GOP candidates in Florida and across the country. After all, as candidate Donald Trump asked them, “What have you got to lose?!”
So to suggest, as you and the rest of the woke media do, that it’s somehow in Republicans’ interest to suppress minority votes flies in the face of reality at the precinct level. As a small but well-Soros-funded mob of criminal-coddling, anti-cop, godless and genderless radicals strengthens its grip on the Democratic party’s throat, a growing number of black and brown voters are deciding they don’t want to be around to witness this inevitable death by strangulation. (Ask Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms why she really decided against seeking reelection.)
Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) and others seem willfully blind to the fact that it’s plainly in the GOP’s interest to make voting as easy as possible for everyone eligible while guarding firmly against Leninist ballot fraud. And with a law-and-order-and-God ticket of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) leading the way in 2024, neither NPR, the rest of the leftist media nor your shot-callers in the Democratic hierarchy should be surprised if black and brown voters help put Republicans back in the White House and firmly in control of Congress.
