Florida Lt. Governor Jay Collins is absolutely DONE with the fake news machine trying to torpedo his gubernatorial campaign with completely fabricated exit rumors.

The America First conservative went scorched earth on speculation that he was about to withdraw from the Republican primary race to replace Governor Ron DeSantis, calling the rumors "100% bulls***" and declaring there's a "0% chance" he's suspending his campaign.

The wild speculation started flying after Collins made the tactical decision to cancel some campaign events Thursday and Friday - apparently enough to send the rumor mill into overdrive with completely baseless claims about his exit from the race.

Collins Fights Back Against Establishment Games

This looks like classic establishment playbook stuff, folks. When they can't beat you on the issues, they try to create momentum against you with planted stories and whisper campaigns. Collins isn't having any of it.

"There is a 0% chance I am suspending my campaign," Collins declared, making his position crystal clear to anyone spreading the false narrative.

The Green Beret veteran and Trump ally has been building serious grassroots momentum in his bid to continue the America First agenda in Florida after DeSantis. His military background and unwavering conservative principles have resonated with Patriots across the Sunshine State who want to keep Florida RED and FREE.

Collins' campaign represents everything the deep state establishment fears - a true outsider who can't be bought, controlled, or intimidated by the political machine. His forceful pushback against these rumors shows exactly the kind of fighting spirit Florida needs in its next governor.

The Real Story Media Won't Tell

While the legacy media obsesses over manufactured drama, Collins continues focusing on the issues that matter to hardworking Floridians: securing the border, protecting parental rights, defending the Second Amendment, and keeping woke ideology out of our schools and businesses.

This rumor-mongering episode perfectly illustrates why we can't trust the mainstream narrative about anything. When they can't find real dirt, they'll just make something up and hope it sticks.

Jay Collins isn't going anywhere, Patriots. And that's exactly what has the establishment running scared.

Good for Jay Collins! The mainstream media has been trying to push him out since day one because they know he's a real threat to their establishment picks. This man served our country with honor and deserves our support, not these baseless rumors.

Absolutely right! As a fellow veteran, I've seen firsthand how the media treats military candidates who don't toe their line.

Collins has been rock solid on every issue that matters - border security, parental rights, and fiscal responsibility. Why would he drop out when he's gaining momentum? These exit rumors smell like desperate opposition research to me.
