Arguably the star exhibit is the gown and scythe belonging to the Grim Reaper, an outfit worn by a Florida attorney on several of the state’s crowded beaches last spring as he protested against the refusal of Governor Ron DeSantis to close them down.
Daniel Uhlfelder, who is from Miami and majored in history before going on to practice law in Florida’s Panhandle, said the preservation of his costume was a powerful reminder of the politicization of the pandemic.
Here is new information on DeSantis' tie to backer of groups involved with January 6, 2021 insurrection and vaccine pop-up in Manatee County, Florida in news:
2/12/18 Uihlein gave $500k to DeSantis PAC
10/17/18 gave $200k to DeSantis PAC
10/18/19 gave $200k to DeSantis PAC
For past 5 years, Uihlein contributed $4.3 million to Tea Party Patriots including 800k in Oct. 2020 which was one of the 11 organizations promoting the January 6, 2021 Capitol event.
42 Republicans voting to overturn election received combined $20 million from Club for Growth.
The biggest donors to the CFG are Richard and Liz Uihlein.
A few days ago DeSantis arranged for vaccines to be given at Lakewood Ranch. According to Orlando Sentinel, its parent company, Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, is owned by the Uihlein family.
According to @nytimes article @HawleyMO is furious @Loews_Hotels cancelled his Florida fundraiser & is lying about what he did to incite the January 6 attack on Capitol & bragging he won't "bow to left-wing corporate pressure."
This isn't about "left-wing corporate pressure." It's about his seditious conduct for which he refuses to accept any responsibility.
