DeSantis, who is himself up for reelection, is scheduled to attend a rally in Pittsburgh on Friday with Mastriano, who won the GOP nomination for governor after being endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Currently a state senator, Mastriano has been widely rebuked, including by members of his own party, for associating with Gab, a social network favored by white supremacists, including the man who attacked worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue; Mastriano praised Gab's founder -- a self-described "Christian nationalist" who has said Jews are not welcome in his movement -- and paid the site $5,000 before deleting his own account in the wake of criticism.
"Let's not mince words here: Mastriano is an antisemite," Fred Guttenberg, a gun control activist whose daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting, said on a press call Thursday. "He has shown himself to be with words and actions over an extended period of time. Any embrace of Mastriano is an embrace of antisemitism, full stop."

BTW, by law, Florida school board elections are supposed to be non-partisan. But it's springtime for Fascists in Florida.
