**An Outrageous Accusation: Florida’s First Lady Falsely Labeled Racist for Bold Fashion Statement**
In an alarming display of progressive distortion, historian and author Dr. Marvin Dunn has accused Florida first lady Casey DeSantis of racism for wearing a jacket featuring an alligator and an outline of the Sunshine State. The jacket’s text, which reads “WHERE WOKE GOES TO DIE,” is reflective of Governor Ron DeSantis’ outspoken conservative views. Ignoring the possibility that Casey was merely supporting her husband’s message, Dunn conjures a far-fetched claim.
According to Dunn, the first lady’s jacket is a subtle nod to a racist joke that circulated in the early 1900s, which insinuated black babies were used as alligator bait. While this is an abhorrent piece of history, to suggest that Casey DeSantis deliberately wore the jacket as a symbol of racism is preposterous. Dunn even questioned the first lady’s motives for wearing a leather jacket in 85-degree weather, implying a sinister intention behind her choice.
Unfortunately, Dunn is not the only one to condemn Casey DeSantis for her fashion statement. Daily Beast executive editor Katie Barker wrote an article titled “Casey DeSantis is the Walmart Melania,” in which she criticized the jacket for looking cheap. Barker dismissed the first lady’s recent battle with breast cancer in the same article, stating that survivors typically radiate life and love. She implied that Casey DeSantis is an exception, undeserving of empathy.
Barker went on to accuse the first lady and her husband of promoting a message of division and dehumanization, as if wearing a leather jacket with a powerful statement automatically qualifies her as a racist bigot. This staggering leap in logic epitomizes the progressive tactic of labeling anyone with opposing views as racists, without reasonable justification.
