Media SILENT as Nikki Fried Claims GOP-Voting Hispanics Have "Wool Pulled Over Their Eyes"

National media prove once again that bigoted statements from candidates are acceptable so long as they are targeted at the correct minorities. The latest case in point comes via Florida Democrat gubernatorial candidate and MSNBC regular Nikki Fried.

Fried's recent interview for NPR's The "Florida Roundup" was already controversial for her wild comparison of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to Adolf Hitler, which included her wild claim that "I saw the rise of Hitler". But listen to Fried as she dismisses GOP-voting Hispanics as gullible morons who don't know who really has their best interests at heart:

MELISSA ROSS: What’s your appeal to Latin American voters? The Republican Party in the state has made significant inroads in that population.

NIKKI FRIED: And…and that is exactly the point. Is that they have had the wool pulled over their eyes about what exactly this radical right party is doing for them when the reality is it is the Democrats who are standing up for their freedoms, for their rights, for their opportunities to have success here in our state and in our country. They come here for a better way of life, and instead you have this rhetoric that is coming from the radical right of our state, especially Governor DeSantis, who is doing things that you’ll see that other countries in Latin America have done. You know, this governor has gone away from free market, attacking businesses for trying to make decisions on what they believe is right.

ROSS: You’re talking about businesses not being allowed to know people’s Covid status or mandate vaccinations. Things like that.

FRIED: Things like that, too. And he actually went off- went even further a couple of weeks ago, and had a press conference where he actually said that he is going to try and eliminate diversity and inclusion training even inside of corporations- inside of businesses. When it is the corporations who have actually been the ones who have stepped up for the last few decades, trying to make sure that there is inclusion and diversity inside of the workforce.

Per Fried's logic, Hispanics are not smart enough to easily discern that DeSantis is a Latin American-style strongman as evidenced by his unwillingness to allow schools to impose mask mandates or allow corporate HR departments to subject employees to woke propaganda and are, therefore easily manipulated into voting for Republicans via disinformation or propaganda. Now imagine the dudgeon had a Republican said anything remotely similar. The entire media apparatus would've run this story on a loop, with Univision and Telemundo putting it on their...

This Would Never Have Happened If Republican Voters In Virginia Had Listened To The Democrat Operatives Who Told Republicans That Voting Does Not Matter:

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced on Saturday that his office has opened an investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced on Saturday that his office has opened an investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools for covering up multiple allegations of sexual assaults dating back several years. The announcement came hours after Miyares was sworn into office alongside Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears.

“Loudoun County Public Schools covered up a sexual assault on school grounds for political gain, leading to an additional assault of a young girl,” he said in a statement. “Virginians have dealt with the horrific aftermath of these scandals, without understanding how or why they were able to happen. Virginians deserve answers – they want transparency and accountability.”

The new attorney general also announced that his office would be launching a separate probe into the Virginia Parole Board for purportedly breaking the law by releasing “murder[er]s, rapists, and cop killers early on their sentences without notifying the victims.”

“These investigations are not to solely go after or bring criminal charges against any one actor, but to learn what mistakes were made so that no other Parole Board or schools ever repeats them,” he said. “I now ask you for time and patience as my team begins the investigations. I am a big believer in measuring twice and cutting once, and that’s what we plan to do here.”

Miyares went on to promise transparency throughout the investigative process, saying that he “will be...

But my family was gone

I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home

I was stunned and amazed

Argentinian reporter suddenly collapses during live broadcast from Covid testing site Argentinian reporter Carlos Ferrara collapsed during a live news broadcast on Argentina’s Channel 9 on Thursday during a news insert from a Covid testing center in the city of Buenos Aires.

BUENOS AIRES

As Claudio Perez, the presenter on Channel 9, thanked Ferrara at the end of the report, the reporter suddenly mumbled “Sorry Claudio, sorry,” and a thumping sound could be heard through Ferrara’s live microphone feed.

Claudio looked baffled. “What just happened?” he asked. The cameraman then filmed Carlos Ferrara lying face down on the sidewalk with the microphone still in his hand before the feed was cut.

According to Channel 9 Ferrara collapsed, but his condition is stable and he remains under observation in hospital.

The collapse of Ferrara on air comes in the wake of a similar episode involving Brazilian TV presenter Rafael Silva, who suffered a cardiac event on-air just a week after he boasted about his Covid-19 booster shot on Instagram. Recently in Brazil, Olympic diver Ian Matos died only months after his jab due to complications while singer Cantor Maurílio died from thrombosis just six weeks after having received his second dose of the vaccine.

Perez’s vaccination status was not revealed fuelling rumours of another vaccine injury, especially because his sudden collapse was alleged to have been due to “heat” which was only 31 degrees Celsius on Friday.

On Friday, the career of Bayern Munich football star Alphonso Davies ended abruptly after he was diagnosed with “mild” myocarditis. Davies is considered one of the best full-backs in the world. All Bayern Munich players and staff members were forced to take their booster shot during the winter break, according to German news outlet Sport1.
