These are tense times regardless of your political leanings, but for the Florida Federation of College Republicans, they’re now facing its Florida University chapter having to disband and regroup under new leadership. This decision didn’t come from a decision from members, but rather an investigation conducted that spotted alleged antisemitism
Taking to social media, it was revealed some local members “engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values.” This includes an “antisemitic gesture”
It didn’t take long for controversy to stir as County Commissioner and Attorney Anthony Sabatini asserts this is censorship and he — alongside the current leadership of UF’s College Republicans — will be filing a “First Amendment retaliation” lawsuit, citing Section 1983.
