As some Florida beaches reopened under social distancing guidelines, Miami Herald metro columnist Fabiola Santiago tweeted on Sunday that Florida residents packing beaches “should work nicely to thin the ranks” of supporters of President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Santiago tweeted that “packed beaches should work nicely to thin the ranks of Trump/DeSantis/Gimenez supporters in #Florida who value money over health.”

Reaction from Trump supporters was swift.

Donald Trump Jr. commented that Santiago’s “disgusting” remarks not only expose her own bias but “based on their hiring choices” likely tells readers “everything you need to know about the Miami Herald as well.”

It's  a liberal paper.  What do we expect? 

Dave Barry is the only worthwhile columnist at the Herald and he's more or less retired.

In all likelihood Santiago would have been rooting for the British over the Minutemen.

Well, most of the Miami area is a **it hole anyways.  Beaches that have been opened are in northern FL.  Miami-Dade county has almost 10,000 COVID-19 cases alone and opening beaches along that coastal area would be a disaster.

Miami hasn’t been the same since Rose, Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia left.

And Wolfiies closed.

You're right about Miami.  Was there twice -- once decades ago, then back in the early 2000s.  What a mess.  Since I discovered the Gulf Coast, when I go to Florida, that's where I go.    Nicer beaches and not as many lowlifes.

Santiago referred to supporters of President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez, all Republicans. She later deleted the tweet and offered a half-hearted apology that reads like a hostage tape:

Santiago's "apology:"

...I want to apologize for the phrase I used that offended many people...

In other words -- I'm sorry you stupid people were offended by what I wrote.

Like when criminals get caught in the act:

"I'm sorry.....I'm sorry I got caught."

This is like a bonanza for the left.  They get to hide in their basements and write internet screeds while collecting a government check.  Of course they want to keep everything shut down.

In the meantime there is a window of opportunity for the rest of us to enjoy life without being physically subjected to loudmouthed leftwing virtue signaling and insufferable sanctimony.
