  1. CW: Some of the goods on Florida's (latest) openly fascist GOP House candidate; mentions lynching

    RE: kolektiva.social/@ThatWeltschm

    Reposting because the linked post now has a whole thread that goes pretty deep. Apart from Unite the Right, Rawson was also at the rallies against the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue at the roundabout formerly known as Lee Circle in New Orleans, was sufficiently involved with League of the South to be a speaker at one of their conferences in 2021, used to regularly retweet Richard Spencer, once posted that "lynchings worked," and on and on.

    And now he's the GOP candidate for Florida's 10th House district.

    Apart from the linked thread below, there are also lot of details archived here: web.archive.org/web/2022081300

  2. Yesterday's Republican primary for Florida's House District 10 went to a guy named Marshall Rawson, who was a member of the deeply racist, antisemitic, pro-Confederacy org League of the South. Rawson participated in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA, with LOTS, and despite claiming he left it a decade ago, he has been documented participating in their events as recently as 2021. (It would be difficult for just about anyone's affiliation with LOTS to be documented more recently than that because that's the year of the verdict in Sines v. Kessler, the civil conspiracy case against the Unite the Right organizers. LOTS and two of its leaders were among the defendants, and all were found liable for significant fines. Insofar as LOTS has even existed since then, it has kept a very low profile.)

    Stay tuned for more details...
