1/ #BrevardCounty, FL schools is facing a $100 million lawsuit for it's life-saving mask mandates issued in the face of threats by Governor DeSantis and others. But, it looks like a conspiracy to commit fraud. 😬🧵
2/ Why did Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey, and State Atty Phil Archer denounce the "feds" talking about the @FBI and @TheJusticeDept in a shocking press conference?
Full video link:
3/ Also in this conference, State Rep. Randy Fine, and Dr. Jeffery Steel claiming Steel's 7 yr old step-daughter had suffered abuse as a result of wearing a covid mask. Rep Fine promised a "special place in hell" for those responsible.
Full video link:
4/ Anti-mask Dr. Steel used the publicity to raise over $100k on a Christian knock-off of GoFundMe called GiveSendGo based on these false claims. It appears to still be active, but it has not raised any more money recently. Here's the link:
5/ "A 35-page report released this week(Dec. 3) by Indian Harbour Beach police contradicts many of the details of Steele's story, including allegations of child abuse."
6/ "The report also showed that the photos that Steel used to broadcast the episode were staged by him and his wife days later based on her recollection of the event, according to metadata embedded in the pictures."
7/ Randy Fine and The Mom's For Liberty are closely connected. During the COVID surge he did all he could to prevent mask mandates while peddling vouchers to private schools that did have mandates.
8/ His campaign of terror directed at School Board Member Jennifer Jenkins, who defeated Mom's For Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich in 2020, is also very well documented at length:
It's been so prolifically bad that he's under criminal investigation for it. But there's much more to Randy Fine's corruption. He is the k-12 Appropriations Chair, Gaming Committee Chair, and he's Vice Chair for redistricting aka #Gerrymandering
10/Phil Archer has documented history of not prosecuting crimes involving his racist or political friends, including Former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel #Greenberg. But there's much more in our next slide...
This new REPUBLICAN group started in #Brevard County, FL. They spread across the country(like COVID), calling themselves "non-partisan" and "grassroots", they are neither. Last week, they formed 4 large PACs. Let's dive in!
2/ FACT: The Republican agenda IS to privatize public education, and put that tax money into their own private piggy banks. They have already taken several steps down that road, and that's not an exaggeration.
1/🧵Tiffany Justice may not be as well connected with these political circles, but she is right down the road, and had her share of scandals. She is the current spokesperson for the Moms, probably bc she doesn't have the same kind of hiding financial connections as the other 2.
2/ Her tenure as a school board member was marked by several scandals, accusations of an affair with the superintendent, and abuse of her office. She even tried to have someone criminally prosecuted for gossip.
3/ Of course her political views were generally racist, papered over with pretend Christianity like the KKK does, and she again overstepped her bounds in trying to control a committee that was set up for parents to help close racial achievement gaps.
1🧵/ Bridget Ziegler is a current school board member in Sarasota County, FL. She has stepped aside in her role with the Moms probably b/c of the conflict of interest with her job as a school board member, running for re-election.
2/ Also in Sarasota is traitor Mike Flynn, racist State Sen. Joe Gruters, Chair of The RPOF, the #CyberNinjas who did the #Fraudit in AZ, and the founder of the MAGA Patriot Party.
3/ Some excellent research on Joe Gruters Chair of #RPOF, Christian Ziegler(Bridget's husband, and Vice Chair of RPOF), and the scummy world of political financing they all dwell in, by @gal_suburban 🍻
1/🧵 Tina Descovich is the ringleader of the "#MomsForLiberty" circus. She is a former school board member in #Brevard, and she was defeated by #JenniferJenkins for her seat in 2020. The same Jennifer Jenkins who State Rep Randy Fine is being investigated for threatening.
2/ The "small office" she claims to work out of is also home to many other interesting things, including an org she had with the other founding "mom", Bridget Ziegler, over 2 years ago.
3/ Before she was a school board member, her website says she was a marketing/PR/HR professional who has close ties to the defense industry. With Randy Fine, we can add casinos to that list.
Playing russian roulette with kids' lives during #Covid makes a little more sense now.
He incited the mob with lies, he invited the mob to D.C., he encouraged the mob and they became angry, he directed the mob and they marched to the capitol. And he had lots of help. That's not dereliction, thats insurrection.
