Florida's Rancid Case Of Quid Pro Quo

In a bizarre case of corruption, the governor of Florida decided that WWE wrestlers are “essential” employees amid the coronavirus because he didn’t like the void of sports on television.

Sports reporter David Zirin found that on April 9 DeSantis declared wrestlers essential workers in the state. The exact same day, Linda McMahon, the co-founder of the WWE with her husband Vince McMahon, announced that her super PAC was going to spend $18.5 million in the state of Florida. McMahon is also a member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet. HERE

Dear DNC: This is our Declaration of Independence from your Corporate Party

We, the people, stand together to declare our independence from corporate politics and a two-party system funded by the very businesses and billionaires that exploit us — the working class, the poor, and our planet. We understand that both the Democrats and Republicans (private corporations themselves) are incapable of reform, and have made it abundantly clear that they will ALWAYS choose profits over people.
