The “right-hand man” to St. Petersburg, Florida’s Mayor Rick Kriseman, a Democrat, is reported to have published a Facebook post calling for protesters and political activists to disrupt a scheduled event at which Florida’s GOP Governor, Ron DeSantis, was to appear.
Kevin King, the chief of policy and public engagement for Kriseman, used Facebook to message Susan McGrath, the former chairwoman of the Pinellas County Democrat Party, writing, “Governor apparently coming to St Pete around noon at Birchwood to cause trouble if you feel like secretly getting a group together…Could use some Wear a Mask signs.”
Governor DeSantis appeared in St. Petersburg Friday to announce that he is green-lighting Phase III of his plan to re-open the State of Florida in the aftermath of the COVID event.
Phase III includes:
People 65+ and those with underlying conditions can resume public interaction
Employees return to work
Non-essential travel continues
Government meetings in person
Bars and restaurants operate at full capacity
Gyms open to full capacity
State parks are open with overnights
Beaches remain open
Movie theaters, concert halls, auditoriums, bowling alleys open
Sporting events resume but limiting capacity should be considered
Theme parks return to normal operations
Vacation rentals resume normal operations
Barber shops, hair and nail salons operate at full capacity
Retail stores open at full capacity
King attempted to spin his activism saying, “We mobilize advocates for causes all the time. We wanted people to remind the governor it’s important to wear a mask,” he said. “It was policy-focused. We would never encourage political activity from city hall.”
