Notice how they didn't mention that IMMEDIATELY...before any info was released...the dems all started braying like deranged donkeys blaming Governor Desantis. Will they apologize? Of course not. Liberals don't think they should retract or apologize for anything they do or say!! I do like the 'anti-riot' bill.



Following the crash, prominent far-left activists like Amy Spitalnick prematurely described the suspect as a “domestic extremist” and blamed his alleged actions on Florida’s “anti-riot” bill that protects police and citizens from actual extremists.

Signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in April, the bill grants immunity to drivers who are forced to drive through a mob of violent road-blocking extremists to prevent themselves and their families from being attacked and potentially killed.

June 20 (Reuters) - The driver of a pickup truck that hit two pedestrians at the start of a gay pride parade in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was a 77-year-old participant in the event, police said on Sunday.

The driver, who has not been identified by local authorities, is cooperating fully with investigators, showed no signs of impairment and has not been charged, Fort Lauderdale police said in a written statement. The victims, both adult males and members of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus, were rushed to Broward Health Medical Center, where one of the victims was pronounced dead. The second victim was listed in a serious condition.

The driver is also a member of the Gay Men's Chorus.

"The driver of the vehicle, a 77 year-old male, was a participant who had ailments preventing him from walking the duration of the parade and was selected to drive as the lead vehicle," police said.

The incident remains under investigation.

Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, who was criticized after initially telling a local television station that the incident was premeditated and a "terrorist attack on the LGBT community," appeared to walk back those statements on Twitter.

"I was eyewitness to the horrifying events ... I feared it could be intentional based on what I saw from mere feet away,” Trantalis said on Twitter.

"As the facts continue to be pieced together, a picture is emerging of an accident in which a truck careened out of control," he said.

Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was in the parade, tweeted that she was safe, though she was "deeply shaken and devastated that a life was lost and others seriously injured."

Gay Man Accidentally Slams Pickup Into Florida Gay Pride Parade – Leftists Blame … Gov. Ron DeSantis

Before the facts were known, Fort Lauderdale mayor claimed the accident was an assassination attempt on Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Florida Local10 reports:

Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, who was at the parade, said the truck missed Wasserman Schultz’s car “by inches” before crashing through a gate and into a plant nursery.

He said shortly after the crash that he believed it was a deliberate attempted attack of the Democratic congresswoman.

“This is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community,” Trantalis told Local 10 News. “This is exactly what it is. Hardly an accident. It was deliberate, it was premeditated, and it was targeted against a specific person. Luckily they missed that person, but unfortunately, they hit two other people.”



Oh, and it wasn’t “just” anti-gay, it was—somehow in Trantalis’ fevered little brain—an attempt to assassinate Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Yes, really.

They just can’t help themselves.  Even after they learn the truth, they still blame Florida Gov. DeSantis.  Because apparently it’s his fault they are ridiculous.
