De Santis Selects Far Right Fla AG Ashley Moody to Replace Rubio in US Senate
Moody is far right by any standard. She was an election denier, who called for the Congress to refuse to certify the 2020 electoral results. She also has many other far right perspectives.

Florida stays on its course.
No surprise.
Ashley Moody, Florida's far-right attorney general, strikes out
Moody's full-blown transformation instead into a Patronisian, reckless, right-wing lawyer-for-hire should have been more predictable, given the downward trajectory of so many like her in the modern Republican Party. The supposed-to-be-sensible Moody didn't waste much time: Back in 2020, she signed Florida onto a multi-state challenge that unsuccessfully asked the United State Supreme Court to effectively toss the results of the presidential election Trump lost fair and square. There was no turning back from there.
Now, any far-right cause with even a vague connection to Florida or federalism can find a friend in Moody's office, eager to waste resources fighting culture wars. The actual functions and duties of her office seem, at best, an afterthought. The attorney general, a kind of keeper of the state's open-government laws, has done nothing as the state has made a mockery of them, forcing citizens to pay exorbitant fees and wait months for basic public records.
Even the most strident MAGA loon couldn't fault Moody for her lack of sycophancy or devotion. Moody is full-on crackpot.
So, she's far right. So what? Elections have consequences.
To some on here, anyone slightly right of Marx is considered far right.
The headline was written before the selection. It’s just fill in the blank laziness at this point. Every normal person is now far right.
She was a 2020 election denier to the extent of being on a board that promoted Jan 6th activity, and she was on board with the plan to turn the election back to state legislatures. She is the essence of far right for that reason alone, although she has many other positions that demonstrate it.
That is fucking hilarious.
Every abnormal person is far right.
Every "normal" fascist is far right.
Every normal person? Not a one is far right.
I'm normal and a bit to the right of center. So are the majority of American citizens.
Do you consider "a bit to the right of center" to be "far right"?
He probably rightfully does not, but most reactionary leftists do.
Hilarious. What an incredibly stupid comment.
Ironic
Idiotic
Yes…….your post was
Comment 4.2.7 is a truly trite and mindless comment.
Notice the pattern, they are having a hard time dealing with the reality of what happened. .
It's hard to believe, but the comments just got even stupider. What a joke.
Meh...just followed your examples in 4.2.6, 4.2.4.
Step one.....denial.
Same thing when Trump won again. Difference is they have yet been able to make it to the final stage...acceptance, or in better terms, get over it.
Anyone who doesn't support this is a misogynist.
She sounds like a peach
No, then she would be a Georgian
It's the Governors prerogative to appoint who he wants. Moody will be primaried in '26 and will have to defend herself to FL voters if she wants to keep her seat.
Nice to see my state is leading the way with bringing this country back to a level where world leaders will respect, not mock us and our enemies will think twice about doing stupid shit to us.
Trump has placed several Congressmen, senators from Florida into his cabinet. This allows not only for better leadership in the admin, but a chance for Desantis and the population to pick replacements that will probably be in office for the allowable term times.
