Many are questioning why Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is gearing to launch his presidential campaign, has not spoken up publicly after groups of neo-Nazis from the so-called “Goyim Defense League” distributed propaganda, protested, and harassed Jews across Florida this past weekend. In a viral video too vile for publication on YWN due to the sickening hate and obscenities therein, Goyim Defense League founder John Minadeo, who moved his hate group to Florida in December, is seen yelling “Heil Hitler, Jew!” at a passing man in front of a Chabad House. Minadeo was arrested several months ago after raising an anti-Semitic banner at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. “Sir, do you think you should be put in an oven?” he said to another. In another part of the clip, Minadeo points to a barbecue grill and asks a passing elderly Jewish woman how many Jews she thinks could fit inside. Outside the Chabad of South Orlando on Friday, Minadeo and his fellow thugs harassed visibly Jewish men leaving its premises, lobbing vile hate at them, with the victims speeding away in a vehicle. “Cops work straight for the [expletive] Jews,” he says in video from the demonstration. At one point, a Jewish man demanded that he get off the shul’s grass and two Jews began singing L’cha Dodi in front of the neo-Nazis as a man chanted “Heil Hitler!” The next day, nearly a dozen neo-Nazis associated with NatSoc Florida, another hate group, joined the Goyim Defense League at a protest outside the Daytona International Speedway, unfurling antisemitic banners on a pedestrian bridge reading, “Communism is Jewish” and “Henry Ford was right about the Jews.” That evening, the group used a laser to project antisemitic messages on the stadium, including “Hitler was right” before distributing hate propaganda in nearby neighborhoods. Thus far, DeSantis has been completely silent about the hate across his state. And it’s not the first time. In January 2022, DeSantis came under fire for not condemning neo-Nazi demonstrators in Florida.
