Sun Sentinel calls FL a "crimson hellscape" after GOP kicks butt, then stealth edits

The day after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) won a second term along with fellow GOPers kicking butt in their individual midterm elections, the left-wing paper known as the Sun Sentinel, vilified the state as a "crimson hellscape." 

Then the cowards walked their condemnation back after realizing who reads Florida's most circulated rag.

"Nice knowing you, Florida," the Sun Sentinel editorial board wrote the day after the midterm elections. 

"After Tuesday’s stunning election results, the state’s political transformation is now nearly complete, from deep purple battleground to crimson hellscape, an ideal launch pad for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential aspirations," the newspaper said. Then they removed their collective heads and changed the word 'hellscape' with 'landscape' without explaining the change. 

The Sun Sentinel has not responded to requests by Brain Flushings or other lesser publications for comment.

The editorial continued, "We now await a second-term agenda that may feature an open-carry gun law, tighter abortion restrictions, new strategies to suppress the vote and more charter flights for out-of-state migrants, presented with even more of the governor’s trademark hubris."

In other words, Gov. DeSantis' second term just might relax restrictions the Left has placed upon the Second Amendment ,while allowing more babies to avoid being killed, voters to vote only once per election, and send illegal aliens to sanctuary cities that claim to welcome them.

The outlet followed by reluctantly giving due credit to DeSantis for a "19-point blowout victory" that was "historic and nothing short of astounding." The governor "carried 62 of 67 counties," establishing "a sea of red reflecting an epic Democratic collapse" in Florida.

DeSantis beat the crap out of former Gov. Charlie Crist, earning 1.5 million more votes than his opponent. In 2018, DeSantis won by just 33,000 votes over illegal substance abuser Andrew Gillum.

Sen. Marco Rubio, (R-FL), also cruised to a double-digit win over Democratic challenger comrade Val Demings (she, her) on Tuesday.

The editors accused DeSantis of "racial gerrymandering" and warned that it would be "impossible for Democrats to slow down an extremist GOP agenda for the next couple of years."

That's because the GOP's 'extremist agenda' does not include genital mutilation of children and excludes teaching critical race theory in the schools. It also allows parents to be the parents of their child and not hand over that responsibility to educators.

The editorial board noted how the Florida GOP has not only kept their territory, but expanded it to historic levels. "For the first time since after the Civil War, not a single Democrat holds a statewide office," the board warned, saying Florida Democrats face an uphill battle to regain "relevance" in the state. [They also failed to mention who the slave owners were that the Republicans fought against in the Civil War.]

"After this midterm meltdown, Florida Democrats have dug themselves such a deep hole that it’s impossible to see a path to relevance," the board wrote before urging the party "not to point fingers or seek scapegoats," but instead develop "a long-term strategy to engage young people and Hispanics, register voters and recruit stronger candidates."

DeSantis' top campaign staffer Christina Pushaw posted a screenshot of the Sentinel's article on Twitter, highlighting the use of the phrase "crimson hellscape," before it was covertly changed.

She later taunted the newspaper with a picture of Florida's "beautiful map."

Florida State Board of Education member Ryan Petty tweeted, "Crimson hellscape. That’s a strange way to spell freedom."

Author and commentator Josh Steimle offered what appeared to be a sarcastic appraisal of the Sentinel's writing, "Seems objective and professional."

The Sun Sentinel has about as much professionalism and class as the brain trusts of "The View."
