When you leave the Dem plantation, they dispatch the hounds.
Michelle Vecerina at Florida’s Voice
A plane was seen flying over the Jacksonville Police Memorial Building Thursday with a racist message about local Sheriff T.K. Waters.
The banner read the following:
“REPUGNANT-CON COWARD TK WATERS TURNED WHITE”
Florida’s Voice spoke with Waters, who said his agency will not be investigating this because it is “not a crime.”
“It’s every person’s right to express themselves […] We’re continuing to move forward as an agency,” Waters said.
“Today’s banner is a clear reminder that ignorance and hate will always breed more ignorance and hate. Jacksonville is a great city full of good people who care about one another. Let’s focus on putting that on the world’s stage,” said Waters, who is Jacksonville’s second Black sheriff to oversee the department
The racist banner comes just one day after Waters slammed Democratic Mayor Donna Deegan for her comments that former President Donald Trump’s immigration policy is akin to “concentration camps” while traveling on a trade mission in London, during an interview with the London Times Radio.
“As the Sheriff of Jacksonville, it is disappointing to see our Mayor equate a commonsense immigration policy with one of the most horrific atrocities of the 20th century,” Waters told Florida’s Voice.
“Here are the facts: Kamala Harris, who Deegan supports, has allowed a wide-open border and millions of illegal crossings,” he continued. “Along with a surge of violent criminals, fentanyl has poured into our country and poisoned our communities.”
“This year alone, our officers have seized nearly 15 kilograms of fentanyl, enough to kill over 7 Million Americans and since Harris took office, JSO officers have responded to 970 fentanyl related deaths,” Waters said. “Something must be done. Only President Donald J. Trump can secure our border and restore safety, security, and economic prosperity to the American people.”
“The people of Jacksonville expect more from our Mayor than knee-jerk responses about President Trump’s policies. It is downright shameful,” he said.
Multiple other Florida leaders also slammed Deegan’s comments, including Florida Republican state Reps. Dean Black, Jessica Baker, Wyman Duggan, Kiyan Michael, and Republican state Sen. Clay Yarborough, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and Jacksonville City Councilman Terrance Freeman.
Sheriff Waters endorses a common sense, lawful approach to immigration. For that, he’s labeled a traitor to his race.
