It takes a lot of effort to make Debbie Wasserman Schultz look like the reasonable candidate, but Elijah Manley is putting in the work.
Manley is currently battling for Florida’s District 20 seat against contenders like DWS, rapper Luke “Uncle Luke” Campbell and indicted ex-Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and the socialist candidate is making some standout remarks that have been garnering a lot of attention.
In one case, he argued that the seat should only be held by a black person, because having a “white Democrat” in the seat is “unacceptable.”
Watch:
FL Socialist Elijah Manley says only a black Democrat should hold the congressional seat he’s running for.
“One of the last remaining opportunity districts that we have in the South being held by a white Democrat, that’s unacceptable.”

“In this moment that we’re in, where we say this attack on the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court, the evisceration of our protections, we cannot have someone who claims to be an ally to our community come, in this moment, the moment that we’re in right now, and take away our representation. One of the last remaining opportunity districts that we have in the South, being held by a white Democrat, that’s unacceptable,” he said.
In another moment, Manley told Fox News that it doesn’t “make sense” to send an illegal alien with a murder charge back to their own country, because they’ll just cross the border again.
Watch:
FL Socialist congressional candidate Elijah Manley says he doesn’t want illegal aliens who enter the country with a murder charge to be deported.
Yes, he’s serious:
“If you’re a murderer coming to this country, put you in jail.”
Says of deportation:

“I’m saying if they come into this country illegally, which means crossing the border illegally, and they have a rap sheet back in their own country, are you okay with them staying here?” Martha MacCallum asked.
“What I’m saying is if a murderer comes into the United States of America, sending them back for them to just come back over the border doesn’t make sense to me. If you’re a murderer coming to this country, put you in jail. That’s all I’m saying,” he argued. “I mean, Republicans want to give these folks a vacation. I’m not interested in giving these folks a vacation back home, or a free trip.”
“That’s ridiculous. I don’t know what you’re talking about. A vacation? No, we’re talking about removing them to the country they came from illegally. There’s almost no country in the world that allows people to just cross their border and begin a life inside that country,” MacCallum said.
X users were baffled by his positions:
Fight Fight Fight
Clutch my pearls…a Dem using race baiting for political gain against their own party…and it’s Wasserman????

“The American taxpayer should pay to house, feed and give medical care to foreign murderers who cross the border into our country illegally.”

The Democrat party is imploding… and they deserve it.
For the last 20 years all Democrats have done is pillage the government coffers and enriched themselves. They did nothing that benefited Americans.

Hard to believe that we may actually be rooting for Ramen Head Debbie Wasserman Schultz to win. Hopefully one of the other candidates win, not the Sheila who stole $5 million in COVID funds, but one of the other candidates. Democrats have some fine candidates.😂
