Do you remember the fake tiki torchbearers that pretended to be Glenn Youngkin supporters near one his campaign buses, October 2021. It was difficult, of course, for them to promote the white supremacist effort since one was black. It was a laughable attempt to smear Youngkin. That egregious act was attributed to the Lincoln Project.
The stunt didn’t help the Democratic cause — Terry McAuliffe went down to crushing defeat, with that November win and sweep by the Republicans in Virginia a likely harbinger of the red wave that is to come this November.
But because of that, we’re all very aware of such efforts to try to smear conservatives.
Now, I don’t know if it’s a fake op, but a small group of people carrying Nazi flags and anti-Semitic material turned up outside the Turning Point Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, Saturday. A picture of Florida Governor was also displayed by the group. Ron DeSantis was also present, as well as a DeSantis banner. DeSantis wouldn’t have anything to do with these things.
Attention to graphic language and images:
Some Nazis were there. Unclear if they’re serious or pretending — to try to claim conservatives support them so they can get coverage in left-wing media.
Every conservative attendee who showed up was calling for hate and telling others to get out. pic.twitter.com/L3qjdgSj1g

If I could guess, this was staged. Fascist protestors with Nazi flags are gathered at the Tampa Convention Center, whereI just hope left-wing outlets don’t fall for this. pic.twitter.com/CuuAtaA3A6

Although they might be Neo-Nazis they were not involved in the event and everyone who saw them told them to get out of the way. It does smell like an operation, with all the efforts to discredit DeSantis.
And you know they’re not conservatives, as they’re wearing masks, in addition to the fact that no conservative would support such sentiments.
It was funny how leftists spread it like it was part of the DeSantis event.

How desperate is the left to try to demonize Republicans–and specifically, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Very desperate. Any media who would believe that lie would need to be examined. However, it is not uncommon for liberal media to accept this.
Some people thought we were witnessing a replay of the tiki torchbearer event.

It doesn’t matter what was going on there.
