Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) ordered flags at half-staff to honor the late conservative icon and radio host Rush Limbaugh.However, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Democrat, is refusing to lower flags despite the Governor’s order.“Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor that pays respect to fallen heroes and patriots. It is not a partisan political tool. Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard the Governor’s forthcoming order to lower flags for Mr. Limbaugh – because we will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division.

Nikki Fried missed a great blessing by never ever having listened to even one of Rush's shows. Her loss. Everyone bearing the name Limbaugh completely understands. PS: Ms Fried, it ain't your flag, is it?

This woman has no listeners. Rush had 27 million a week. I am surprised Nikki has a flag, as I don't think she cares anything for the country.

"Shortly after entering office in 2019, Fried's office redesigned the Department of Agricultures certified gas-pump stickers, which verify to customers the gas pump has been approved by the state. Previous Agriculture Commissioners had put their own names on the stickers for decades, but Fried was the first to put a color photograph of herself smiling on the sticker."
Nikki Fried, Nikki Haley. One and the same.

Pretty sure DeSantis isn’t going to let her opinion stand. Rush was an icon, and a long time citizen of Florida. He rightfully deserves this honor!

These people are absurdly ignorant.
This Nikki Fried person has a fried brain.
She uses hate speech, bigotry, division an partisanship and she is too stupid to realize that she is exactly what she accuses others of.

So obviously any office manager under her can simply decide if they want to follow her orders. She is demonstrating she does not need to follow her bosses orders.

I don't see Gov. DeSantis as a man to mess with. IF this Woke Woman decides to go against him, she might just find herself out of work. I don't know for sure, but I think HE is the Top Person in the Florida Government and she is WAY below him. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. I might just remind HER that Obama lowered our Flag when Whitney Houston died! SHE was not Military!

Yet she would not have hesitated for a nano-second to lower the flag for the murdering, raping, adulterous, drunken, racist, slandering (Clarence Thomas) pervert Splash Kennedy.

I love Rush. Always will.
That said, he was a civilian who was a divisive character to many.
Do you want the flags at half staff when RACHEL Madcow dies?
Hell no you don’t.
This is the type of distraction and outrage porn that keeps people from seeing who there real enemies are.

She doesn't get to make that decision.
Rush was truly a Great American, standing fearlessly and proclaiming what millions of Americans believed. He deserves honor.
Unfortunately, lowering the flag is an insufficient tribute these days. It is rare that we travel the countryside and see flags flying at full staff. It is seldom that we know who or what is being honored when we observe that the flag is lowered. Sad. Our flag was meant to fly high and proud, to salute extraordinary, nationally known patriots as deference to their courage and sacrifice.

She sounds like the kind of person that would try to punish you if YOU decided to do it on your own, if she could. If she gets too pushy, Gov DeSantis could just "ask" Floridians to consider it.

She is the witch that controls the issuance of Concealed Carry permits. When she took office, she immediately started slow rolling the processing.
She spits on the Constitution, and deplores the citizens.
I am so glad I moved to Texas from Florida, despite the idiots running (ruining?) our power grid.

You gotta love that. "We will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division while practicing hate speech, bigotry and division." Makes perfect sense. To a Democrat.

A nasty bwitch. This should get her a lot of opposition the next time she runs, assuming that this is an elected position.

The AG Commissioner post in Florida is an elected position, so just firing her is out of the question.

Farmers are generally conservative. Maybe they should all contact the Agriculture Department in Florida and express their displeasure with her decision regarding the flag. As the only elected Democrat Ag Commissioner, she should pay attention to her constituents, not play politics.

" It is not a partisan political tool."
Yet her refusal to lower the flag is a partisan political tool used by this Leftist. Democrats are so dumb.

She's simply auditioning for a spot on CNN and MSNBC. Free Advertising to get name recognition. However her persona now will always be that of a Witch spelled with a B. Adios Nikki.

Love it when ignorant racists and political hacks accuse others of doing exactly what they do themselves. She truly doesn't get it does she?
