Shouting things like “Leave our country, go back to Israel,” the classic “Heil hitler,” and “Sir, do you think you should be put in an oven?”, these Nazi animals have been terrorizing and targeting Jews and Jewish communities in Florida. This tweet is from last Friday.

The Orlando cops claim they can't do anything. That may be true; it's a thin line between terrorizing people and the First Amendment. Yet the governor finds all kinds of things to crack down on when he's annoyed.

Still, Ron DeSantis doesn't lift a finger, and his donors are as quiet as mice. Could it be that having an authoritarian dictator as governor nurtures the extremists?

The asshole with the bullhorn is Jon Minadeo, who founded an antisemitic group called the Goyim Defense League, who moved to Florida from California. I assumed he thought the state's political leadership would provide more fertile ground, but they're also active in Long Island and Nashville.

Can you help us out?
