Brian Beute, a music teacher who filed papers to run for tax collector against Joel Greenberg in 2020, “was the target of a political smear campaign [including a false allegation of child molestation] that Greenberg now admits to orchestrating.” 1/ clickorlando.com/news/local/202…
Less than a week after Beute entered the race to challenge Greenberg, “an anonymous letter arrived at Beute’s private school [falsely] accusing [him] of having a sexual relationship w/ a student. ***The agency…discovered fingerprints on the letter…belonged to Greenberg.” 2/
“Detectives also found evidence that phony Facebook and Twitter accounts used to spread false accusations about the teacher [Beute] was created at Greenberg’s home.” 3/
“Most of the crimes Greenberg recently pleaded guilty to committing were first uncovered by federal investigators with the U.S. DOJ rather than state or local authorities,” & Beute has asked @RonDeSantisFL to investigate why local & state authorities failed to uncover them. 4/
“Beute believes @RonDeSantisFL shld request an outside review of all prior allegations against Greenberg to evaluate how authorities addressed them.” 5/
“‘This is an opportunity for [DeSantis] to reiterate to all Floridians that he indeed is a law & enforcement executive,’ Beute said.” 6/
“The Florida Department of Revenue, which provides oversight and assistance to local tax collectors [ie, Joel Greenberg], did not respond to multiple requests for comment.” Neither did @RonDeSantisFL. #FlaPol 7/

“Those who served in the GOP have a greater burden to tell the truth about what their party has become. Those who know that the voter suppression laws masquerading as election integrity measures are solutions in search of problems have a duty to sound the alarm.” 2/
“The story of our times is understanding how one of the two major political parties became addicted to the same disinformation and anti-democratic practices it once rebuked in foreign countries and why its base has so eagerly embraced this disastrous pivot.” 3/
