Florida man arrested after driving van through GOP voter registration tentA Florida man has been arrested after allegedly driving his van through a tent where a local Republican group was registering voters on Saturday, authorities and officials say. Florida Man strikes again! Wow what a dick, this is not how it should be. Remember your morals. Differences in political beliefs should not come to this. It is undemocratic. Not okay—regardless of political affiliation or views.

Republicans vow ‘revenge’ at ballot box after volunteers nearly hit by vanFlorida and Duval County Republican leaders vowed “revenge” at the ballot box after a man drove his van into a tent of GOP volunteers who were registering voters over the weekend This is quite distasteful the way you’ve framed this. You act like the victims are the perpatrators. No no no no. The Democrats that have savaged this country, endless vandalism and crime are the culprits. Time to say this is OUR country not just yours alone. ENOUGH!!! What a ducking insane headline!!! Shameful! The Media whitewashing of this terrorist attack on Republicans is remarkable, but totally predictable. Media and Left is stirring hate and violence against Republicans.
