Gubernatorial candidate James Fishback vows to 'burn down' GOP establishment [View all]

As Republican Party faithful gathered to hear from three leading GOP contenders for governor at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Davie, investor James Fishback was slamming party leaders 16 miles up the road.

Fishback, a gubernatorial candidate who has support among the right-wing fringe, held a rally in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday after he was disinvited from speaking at the Sunshine State Showdown. The Republican Party of Florida offered two reasons: that Fishback had agreed to a “rival, unsanctioned debate event” and that he has “continued his antisemitic and racist attacks on members of our party.”

Fishback offered a crowd of roughly 200 a different version of events:

“They say we are a threat, and we absolutely are,” he said. “Mark my words, I will burn down the Republican establishment.”

Works for me, despite Fishback being a hardcore Nazi.
