Robert Reich Posts Absurd Tweet About DeSantis, Fact-Checkers Nowhere to be Found – Opinion

Another day another tweet, this time from a well-known Democrat, claiming that a Republican is racist and sexist or bigoted. Robert Reich, a former Secretary of Labor in the United States, posted an absurd tweet on Tuesday about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Reich tweeted: “Just wondering if ‘DeSantis’ is now officially a synonym for ‘fascist.’”

It’s like clockwork for the Democrats. Every two to four years, we hear similar claims about GOP candidates and leaders. Every name is thrown at them and they hope that it sticks. They are throwing names at Republicans and making them lose their meaning. This is something that we shouldn’t take lightly. Racism, sexism, and fascism are not words that should just be thrown out there because not everything that Democrats and the left disagree with is “racist” and “fascist.”

Where are the fact-checkers? They fact-check almost any and everything that the GOP says or that a conservative tweets, but Reich can say “Just wondering if ‘DeSantis’ is now officially a synonym for ‘fascist,’” and we don’t see a label under his tweet saying it’s false. At one point, the fact-checkers were so numerous that Donald Trump Jr. had no choice but to include a note for fact-checkers in his Instagram posts. He claimed it was a parody.

We have heard the left call Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Kristi Noem, and anybody who disagrees with them and their far-left radical agenda, a “white supremacist,” “homophobe,” as well as the other terms I previously listed. Reich understands better than that. He knows DeSantis is not a “fascist.” But since he was asked to campaign for Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, he has also been called a “Nazi.”

These people must be called out because we are seeing what’s happening when they are not. They think they can say whatever they want while receiving no pushback that their narrative is completely false, and if there is no pushback, then more people — and voters — will begin to believe the lie.

Karol Markowicz, a columnist for Fox News and New York Post posted this: tweetAbout the backlash DeSantis experienced after rallying alongside Mastriano.

“This is a bunch of nonsense and I hope Republicans don’t bother responding to these kinds of stories. The “Jewish leaders” here are all activist Democrats disgustingly using some tenuous connection to attack DeSantis, an obvious friend to Jews.”

DeSantis denounced also the Florida group that flies Nazi flags.

Reich and the Democrats may try to smear DeSantis but they will be called out. Voters heard four years of paranoia about Trump from the left, and they called him every name. They felt that the messaging worked and kept pushing forward, despite not getting much resistance. It’s wrong, and it must be called out, especially because fact-checkers only check when it comes to those on the right.
