Debt Ceiling Showdown - Florida Republicans

See the list of Florida Republicans who sided with Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the US House

A bad deal is a bad deal.

It’s clear that the Republican Establishment is why we can’t have nice things. And that includes Establishment Republicans from Florida. Yesterday we provided the names of the U.S. House Representatives elected by Florida voters to “Make America Florida.”

What about career politician Daniel Webster (FL-11) from the Villages? Webster sided with Kevin McCarthy to raise the debt ceiling over $4 trillion dollars. What’s more, his vote was in favor of continuing to fund the Biden Administration’s Democrat Gestapo, the FBI, the ATF, the DOJ, who will continue to target conservatives within the Republican Party for the remainder of Biden’s term. Do Webster’s voters actually know he supported this?

And Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) …..where should we even start? You remember the TV show from the 80’s called Dynasty? Dynasties should only be on TV, not in real life. Gus ran on his dad’s name, for his dad’s seat and has been a Republican Establishment placeholder in D.C. ever since. We get politicians like him from voters who rely on “name recognition.” If you are voting like that, it’s the equivalent to “Christmas treeing” your final exam. And only the dumb guy “Christmas trees” the final exam.

Many Florida Republicans who have been elected to represent us in Washington are part of the D.C. Swamp …..and most got their start in the Florida Legislature.

Know who you are voting for in 2024.
