Remember Rebekah Jones? She’s the dashboard manager at the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) who bravely risked her career, reputation and even her life to be the whistleblower who brought down the evil DeSantis administration. Jones saved America from Emperor DeSantis by having the courage to expose how she’d been forced to change COVID data at FDOH to reflect more favorably upon the Dark Lord of the Sunshine State. For her noble actions, she was relentlessly fired.
Nope…wait…that’s wrong. That’s the story Democrats have been telling each other since this story broke last spring. Let’s start over.
Remember Rebekah Jones? She’s the dashboard manager at the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) who locked her bosses out of FDOH data dashboards and then shared dishonest representations of the data with the media and without permission. She was eventually confronted by the media and fired. In fact, her refusal to alter COVID data on behalf of FDOH was what led to her firing. StopData manipulation to the press
Jones was of course greeted with a heroine’s welcome by a fawning, incurious press. As her criminal past and workplace encounters were revealed, Jones’ story unravelled quickly. Jones became a whistleblower in just a few days. From National ReviewYou can find this link:
Jones’s strange ability to transform her bad behaviour into a lucrative victim is so impressive that it almost makes you smile. A 342-page “manifesto” that Jones penned in 2019 gives example after example of this tendency. In the sections where she describes her ex-boyfriend’s violation of a no contact order, damaging his vehicle, harassing his mother, and engaging in sexual relations with him, Jones manages to portray herself as the victim. She also manages to cast herself as the victim in the parts in which she records being fired from Florida State University for having sex with a student in her office and for lying to her employer about her criminal record. She even presents herself in defensive terms in a now-removed part of the document that contains explicit text messages between her and her ex-boyfriend, as well as close-up photographs of the man’s genitals.
But our political system loves a good whacko, and after raking in over $300K from a Go Fund Me campaign, the former dashboard manager has now decided to find herself a permanent grift…Congress.
Jones submitted a bid this week for the swamp.
She’ll be running against Congressman Matt Gaetz, who currently sits in one of the most solidly red seats in Congress. Gaetz, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene, has been traveling the nation as a MAGA Conservative to strengthen his conservative credentials. Jake Tapper noted that he also has legal problems to deal with.
Gaetz’ legal issues may be causing him some problems but they seem to pale in comparison to Jones’ record of misconduct, stalking and general nuttery.
This is America and the nuttery of America is what we eat (someone put that on an t-shirt). Also, if there’s a guaranteed way to rake in mountains of cash temporarily it’s running for a nationally recognized political seat. Some people are able to cement the grift, and then go on to be permanent leeches of the public. It’s probably a win-win for a woman like Rebekah Jones.

Tapper plays the report pretty straightforward and he’s admitted in the past that his media colleagues have been too quick to lionize Jones; however his Democrat, talking-head reflexes won’t allow him to be negative about a woman who could have taken down DeSantis if we lived in a world where the internet didn’t exist. He calls her a “data scientist” when she was really a glorified website technician and the CNN package can’t help but carry a desperate whiff of hope. Many Democrats see Matt Gaetz as a problem. He is too powerful to be ignored.
Bonne chance to Ms. Jones as she pursues her political career. She can become a member of the crazy-eye team if she gets elected to Congress. Won’t that be fun?
