It takes a lot of nerve to watch what is happening on college campuses like Columbia, Barnard, and Yale and somehow find a way to blame Republicans. Don't get me wrong, I'm never all that surprised when I see crazy people on the Left find a way to blame the Right for whatever horrible event, crisis, or legislation they've put out there but still. Claiming Republicans are somehow using these riots ... sorry, protests ... to somehow convince people that red states like Florida are better? Please. We don't need a bunch of entitled, self-serving, antisemitic little monsters to prove Florida or really any red state is better than New York.
Where has this 'social media expert' been?
Republicans are currently taking advantage of the Columbia University situation to tell you why Florida is better. It is distasteful, crude, and disgusting. Stop.

What the hell is a social media expert? Is that a new way to say, 'influencer'?

There are not enough frogs of shame out there for this one.

Hands down.
Note, Ruby eventually turned responses to her post off which I find hilarious considering she calls herself a social media expert. You'd think an expert could deal with backfire and pushback on anything he or she posted.
Funny how that's not true.
She fired back:
The difference is because we have lost control of our academic institutions. This is happening in every state in the country.

No, we haven't.
Using this as an opportunity to drive tourism is disgusting.

Why? Warning people (and parents) about the mess Columbia has made of itself seems a fair even kind thing to do.
But you know, REPUBLICANS POUNCE!
