US House Candidate Ejected From Florida GOP Rally

July 28, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Florida Politics reports:

Police escorted congressional candidate Eddie Speir out of a Sarasota Republican rally after he disrupted the event. The Bradenton Republican’s supporters shouted in protest as U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, who Speir is challenging in an Aug. 20 GOP Primary, took the stage to speak.

Some of them wore American revolutionary war outfits, including one who was walked out of the building by police.

Buchanan was among several speakers at the Republican Party of Sarasota’s candidate rally, which also included speeches from U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, U.S. Rep. Greg Steube and Republican Party of Florida Chair Evan Power.

From Speir’s previous appearance here:



Eddie Speir, a Christian school founder appointed by DeSantis to the New College of Florida board clashed with legal counsel David Smolker over his request to open the board meeting with prayer. He said Smolker initially denied the request, but in his latest Substack said that decision was reversed and an opening prayer will be allowed. Another motion Speir plans to introduce would remove some media members from the meeting.

“I move that we remove USA Today and its affiliates from the list of approved media outlets until an apology is received with a commitment from USA Today to adhere to its own policies,” Speir writes, referencing Herald-Tribune parent company Gannett’s flagship newspaper, USA Today. The Herald-Tribune is part of USA TODAY Network – Florida. Speir is upset about comments made by Herald-Tribune readers.
