EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "Well, the governor has perfected the art of doing stunts to gain campaign contributions. Unfortunately, this will impact people lives. We should not use race or othering as a tool to weaponize against people, and unfortunately for a large percentage of Floridians, that's what he has done. Therefore, we are advising African-Americans and others, that if you travel to Florida, beware that your life is not valued.”
