The supposed speaker-in-waiting should resign if she’s too consumed by guilt or shame or fear to tout her big achievement in brutalizing many and endangering all pregnant women in Florida.
How badly must 6-week forced birth poll and/or cause personal backlash?
Its sponsor in Florida, Rep. Jennifer Canady, R-Lakeland, won’t even put it on this list of gross greatest hits of rehashed DeSantism/Nolteism/Hilligossism gracing her new campaign mailer. That’s how bad.
Back when she was a 2022 candidate, Jennifer Canady didn’t say anything about “illegal aliens” and taxpayer handouts for rich parents at Lakeland Christian School (her employer) and the dangers of teaching black history when she was pretending to campaign as just a happy normal nepo and teacher because she needed Democratic/independent votes to beat Phillip Walker in an open GOP primary.
Today, she’s gone full-on CCDF, two election cycles too late.
I tried to tell ya’ll. Never confuse social class and personal presentation with respectability.
And still, even with all that, she’s afraid of her own forced birth law.
The forced birth lies, abuses of power, and (very brief) sensual celebrations J-Can wants you to forget
Since J-Can won’t claim her own “successes,” let me remind you of her formidable forced birth record:
Lied to my face — and the public’s — when asked repeatedly about her forced birth intentions as a candidate
- Positively luxuriated in the sensual glow of those lies and the brutalization of Florida women and girls — for all posterity. See her special access to Ron DeSantis’s closed-door signing of the 6-week forced birth law she sponsored. Doesn’t she look so, so proud? Bonus Sen. Colleen Burton shot, looking maybe a little less proud.
- As I’ve said before, get you somebody who beams at you with that kind of exultation behind closed doors.
- Sicced Grady Judd and the full public resources of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on a multi-day manhunt of the protestor who tossed a pair of balled up panties into Canady’s first and only public celebration of 6-week forced birth at Marilyn Paul’s “crisis pregnancy” snitch center. J-Can hasn’t said a word about forced birth since and has barely been seen in public.
- Ducked all comment when her husband Charles ruled that the 6-week forced birth law she was so proud of could now be enforced by Grady Judd’s guns, just like the flying bouncy panties.
The name “Canady” was once associated with the public good, civic populism, and accessible openness of Walkin’ Lawton Chiles. Not anymore. I hope it was worth it, Charles the Elder.
Because 25 years from now, if I’m still alive and in my 70s, and reasonable maternity care has long-since been restored and this period of cowardly and brutal forced birth forgotten, I’ll still be using these pictures of J-Can. (And Colleen.)
You will never escape them if I can help it. The name “Canady” will be attached to forced birth in Polk County like the name “Bull Connor” is to segregation.
