FL turned red prior to the post Covid migration due to Obama loosening relations with Cuba.
South Florida voters traditionally provided a counter balance to the Republican dominated North. Post Obama’s detente with Cuba, Florida has gone red in every presidential election because South Florida Cuban expats broke with Dems and were flipped Red.
Cubans in Fl fled their homes in Cuba for a reason and are very anti communist /anti Castro. The rest of the state really doesn’t give a shit about Cuba, they just don’t want illegal immigration.
Dems want to win back Fl or at least put it in play, Republicans want to maintain their edge. Neither party will touch Cuba until there is serious regime change.
This is Cuban expats forcing regimes change in Cuba. The rest of the US doesn’t care.
I think context is key here. If you tell a Jewish joke at a Bar Mitzvah or comedy club it comes across entirely differently than if you tell it at a Skin Head or Proud Boys rally.
He told the this joke at a Trump rally where accusations of racism and facism abound. He was probably trying to be ironic but it just comes off far more serious than just a joke.
Fundamentally a rally should bring people together. The Trump team knew what they were getting when they hired this guy. Whatever this comedians intentions were, the Trump team is ultimately responsible for their message and to refuse to have Trump repudiate him publicly and immediately peaks volumes.
