Commissioner Appointed By Ron DeSantis Resigns After Klan Robes Photo Surfaces

A Republican county commissioner in Florida was forced to resign his post after someone dug up a photo of him at a costume party, grinning with his arms raised in clear Klu Klux Klan robes.

Gadsden County Commissioner Jeffery Moore was appointed to head the state’s only majority black county by Governor Ron DeSantis, who himself is facing accusations of racism after he essentially conned a crowd of migrants and flew them to Martha’s Vineyard as a political stunt.

Moore resigned “abruptly,” according to local reports, shortly after the photo began circulating in the “local community.” His letter of resignation did not specify a reason for his departure, or for his ending his campaign for the same seat on the board after he was appointed just two months ago to fill a vacancy.
