Two Citrus County Commission candidates deny 2020 presidential election was stolen

By John Labriola - The legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election was a bone of contention at a forum last week for Republican candidates for the Citrus County Commission.   

District 2 candidates Diana Finegan and Stacey Worthington and District 4 candidates Winn Webb and Rebecca Bays spent two hours answering questions on issues ranging from the sheriff's budget to road repairs at the candidates forum, which was hosted by the Republican Liberty Caucus in Homosassa. 

But it was a question about the Trump-Biden contest that drew the sharpest contrast.

All four candidates were asked if the election was stolen. Finegan and Webb said yes, while Worthington and Bays said no. (See video HERE.)

"When you see all the people that were rallying behind Trump, and then you see the complete opposite around Biden, in my heart of hearts I would say yes," Finegan said. 

Webb agreed. "Yes, yes and yes," he said.

Worthington and Bays admitted that irregularities took place, but when asked point-blank if the election was stolen both said "No."

Tracy Edgmon of Defend Florida, a grassroots organization fighting for election integrity, says the evidence that the 2020 election was stolen is overwhelming and irrefutable, and any candidate denying that should not be trusted with the people's vote. 

"I know for a fact that it was stolen, and the evidence proves it. The excuse politicians have given us to continue the propaganda is that it's 'never been proven in court,' but what they leave out is that all those court cases were shut down, so no evidence has ever been presented before a court," Edgmon said. "Any candidate who ignores the evidence that's out there and doesn't even try to educate themselves and just toes the line of their handlers should not be taken seriously. If they're not doing their due diligence, why should the voters trust them to not betray our trust at the local level?"

Edgmon is hosting a special presentation on election fraud, problems with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) system, and how to safeguard this year's elections. The presentation will take place on Thursday, May 26 at 6 p.m. at the Citrus Realtors Association Building, 714 S. Scarboro Ave., Lecanto, FL 34461. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

Sheriff doubles down on support for Biden's FBI

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast is facing renewed criticism for bragging about his ongoing cooperation with the Biden Justice Department in rounding up January 6 protesters and declaring them criminals before a trial.  Last week, Prendergast announced his department partnered with the FBI in the May 2 arrest of a Homosassa man who is being charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, demonstration at the U.S. Capitol. It was the second time in less than 10 weeks that the Citrus County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has participated in the arrest of a January 6 protester. On Feb. 27, sheriff's deputies and FBI agents arrested Jesse Rumson , 37, of Lecanto, in a predawn shock and awe raid complete with a full SWAT team, two armored vehicles, concussion grenades and a helicopter. Rumson, who is awaiting trial on several felony counts, has publicly denied the charges and is seeking a dismissal based partly on what he calls his uncons

Rep. Massullo responds to accusations against his medical practice

Image
By John Labriola - State Rep. Ralph Massullo on Friday responded to accusations against him and his medical practice that were made in an article published in last week's edition of the Citrus Eagle , the predecessor to this publication.  The article, authored by Billy Cayce, reported that Massullo and his partner Dr. William Welton III of Suncoast Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center, which has offices in Lecanto and Ocala, paid the federal government a $2.3 million fine in December 2020 for Medicare fraud. The article was based on an  announcement posted on the website of the U.S. Office of Inspector General (OIG) , which reported that the $2.3 million payment stemmed from falsified patient records and claims prepared by a Suncoast shareholder employee, who allegedly upcoded procedures and overstated the size and type of excised lesions, leading to unnecessary follow-up procedures.  Massullo, who contacted the  Citrus Eagle  three days after the article was published, said he orde

Commissioner Davis demands $$$ for pro-LGBT, anti-white tourism plan

By John Labriola - In a cringeworthy display of "woke" virtue-signaling, liberal Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis last week trashed her recently deceased father as a racist while defending her support for a plan to spend $55,000 in hotel bed taxes on a "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" (DEI) tourism advertising campaign to promote more LGBT and less white Christian family-oriented tourism to Citrus County.  "My dad was born and raised in Forrest City, Arkansas, which is named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the Ku Klux Klan. I don't know if it was until the day he died, but at least until 10 years before he passed, he would actually say that an interracial couple was just trying to make noise and be noticed," said Davis, who congratulated herself on overcoming  her father's views. " I now actually have black friends, and I didn't go out hunting them! I'm not trying to make sure I have my diversity in my group; I just na
