'Remove Ron' movement: Grim reaper lawyer launches political committee to unseat DeSantis in 2022

As Gov. Ron DeSantis sets his sights on a gubernatorial reelection bid in 2022, an attorney who’s been critical of the governor has launched a “Remove Ron” political committee to raise funds and unseat DeSantis.

Daniel Uhlfelder, known as the ‘grim reaper’ lawyer because of his attempts to close Florida beaches during the COVID-19 pandemic, is behind the new political committee that alleges failures by DeSantis to curb the virus and other concerns.

The group released a short video on Wednesday to encourage residents to join the “Remove Ron” movement, saying “DeSantis failed Florida” and it’s “time to remove Ron.”

On its website, the committee alleges a “record of failure,” including more than 26,000 resident COVID deaths, Florida’s troubled unemployment system, “blind loyalty” to former President Donald Trump, who has been impeached for the second time and “a notable disparity between vaccine access for white communities compared to communities of color.”

I'm underweight myself, but look at the legs on him. His legs are scrawnier than mine. I guess the all bones look goes along well with the Grim Reaper costume.

Unless a Grim Reaper with a beer gut is what you're looking for!

Or at least what he stands for.

The website looks good and there are a few more things that could go on there. He again wants the legislature to look at giving heavy prison sentences to anyone touching a statue of a traitor from Civil War days or even being involved in a rally where there is any vandalism or any type of Destruction. He has even gone far enough to say that if the roadway is being blocked, those who feel threatened have the right to plow right through the crowd to be on their way and he wants the legislature to act on that. He will do anything he can to stop the BLM rallies so he brought this all back up after the January 6th incident. Too bad he didn't mention those people should have any penalty.

And what is he up to with trying to strike down yet another thing that was voted in by popular vote? He appears to not like the minimum wage hike that was voted on. Before he didn't care for former felons being allowed to vote even though it passed by a huge majority.

I still think he has the presidency in his sights and that would be a total disaster just like we were just through. Don't we have a Stacey Abrams type person in our area who can run for governor?

For clarification purposes, after the statement about the Website looking good, are the references to "he" referring to Gov. DeSantis?
