“Latte Liberal” Rally Fizzles Out

April 14th, 2016 by flanews

The video showing a Florida woman shouting at the Governor and calling him a bad word in a Gainesville Starbucks has brewed up plenty of controversy.  As Matt Galka tells us, she’s gained a few fans on the internet who planned to rally in support of her…but it ended up being a dud.

On the steps of the Capitol, where the people’s voice is meant to be heard, supporters of Cara Jennings – the woman in the viral video who certainly made her message clear to Governor Rick Scott came together to stand with Jennings. It was an army…of two.

Vietnam Veteran Frank Day travelled two hours from Walton County to the Capitol to show his support for Jennings. He says the Governor should have listened to her, and should listen to more people around the state.

“Our Governor, rather than approach the lady and calm her down and listen, he turned his back, and that would anger any constituent with valid concerns. Valid concerns,” he said.

 

He was joined by retired Department of Health employee Fred Williams who says the current administration isn’t listening to the needs of state workers.

“People have got to be paid appropriately, but the state employees here are not appreciated at all. The Governor is just like I can do what I want with and to you, you know? I’m in charge here,” he said.

The two men hoped their small yet mighty showing makes an impact – they said that Jennings alone has already made one – her video has more than two million views on YouTube.

The Governor’s political committee released their own ad against Jennings – the video has almost a million views.
