Racist DeSantis Donor Who Called Obama N***** Shoots Wife, Kills Self

This is one instance where Rick Scott comes out smelling like a rose, amazingly, because at least he did the right thing with the money donated to him by MAGA Floridian Steve Alembik. He gave the money given to him to charities. That was a smart move. Ron DeSantis, on the other hand, did not and now he’s catching hell for it. Alembik was a sad sack while he was alive. He was praying for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to die and here’s what he said about Barack Obama.

Hey Floridians,

Do you really want a governor like @RonDeSantisFL , who finds it difficult to condemn racism and give back a $20K donation from white supremacist @salembik who called the nation’s first black POTUS, @BarackObama, a “MUSLIM N*GGER?” pic.twitter.com/6OvzmTSFYF

Evidently Florida did. That much is history. It’s also history that in 2018 Alembik went on to defend his racist tweet — saying the N-word “isn’t racist.” Isn’t that a novel concept? It’s just a word with no meaning. Or maybe a positive meaning? This I’ve got to see. Newsweek:

A major donor and Republican activist behind Ron DeSantis’s Florida gubernatorial campaign deleted a tweet calling former President Barack Obama the n-word and a “Muslim.”

Steven Alembik, 67, who has donated more than $20,000 to Desantis’s campaign, acknowledged to Politico that he had tweeted the racist and inflammatory comment after reading a Republican National Committee post that criticized Obama for saying, “over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican Party.” In response, Alembik lashed out with an inflammatory tweet he later defended as not racist.

“Without a hint of irony, Obama smears President Trump’s 63 million Republican voters as divisive & resentful,” the RNC wrote, prompting Alembik to quote the tweet and write in all capital letters: “F*** THE MUSLIM N*****.”

DeSantis campaign spokesman Stephen Lawson denounced Alembik’s comment to Politico. “We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again,” he said. “We adamantly denounce this sort of disgusting rhetoric.”

Alembik, who works in data and email services in Boca Raton, Florida, said it was unfair to label either him or DeSantis as racist. The Florida gubernatorial campaign has been marked by racially charged rhetoric as DeSantis faces Democrat Andrew Gillum, who is black. Alembik lamented what he called a double standard regarding the n-word before proceeding to list several other bigoted terms.

“So somebody like Chris Rock can get up onstage and use the word and there’s no problem? But some white guy says it and he’s a racist? Really?” Alembik told Politico. He added that language considered racist today is nowhere near as “racially charged” as the words he heard when he was younger. “I grew up in New York in the ’50s. We were the k****. They were the n******. They were the goyim. And those were the s****.”

Alembik has also repeatedly contrasted the higher number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners compared to Muslims. He hosted a fundraising gala at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home for the conservative group “Truth About Israel” in February, where he described “show[ing] support for the president of the United States.”

Trump’s entertained overt Nazis at Mar-a-Lago, why not this fruit fly?

In total, Alembik has contributed $22,920 to DeSantis over several years. He only deleted the tweet after Politico confronted him with it, and continued to defend it by saying “when I write anything inflammatory, it’s because I’m seriously pissed off. I’m an emotional human being. Do I have a filter on what I say? In public, yes. Would I use that word in public? No. This is Twitter.”

He’s an emotional human being and an unstable one, with a gun and a conceal-carry permit. All that came to a head Monday night at a fast food restaurant. Boca News:

DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The man who shot his wife twice — then turned the gun on himself in the West Delray Beach BurgerFi parking lot earlier this week — is identified by sources as political activist Steven Alembik. Alembik, Monday night, allegedly shot his wife in the back and arm. While she ran into BurgerFi while bleeding profusely, he shot and killed himself in their car in the parking lot.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, which initially withheld the gunman’s name, confirmed Alembik’s identity to BocaNewsNow.com Friday afternoon.

Alembik received national attention when he tweeted that “Ruth Bader Ginsburg can’t die soon enough” back in 2018.

Very pleasant fellow. Lovely vocabulary. And Obama was right, he is an exemplar of the population which comprises today’s GOP.

His wife is in the hospital in critical condition, which means, “The person’s vital signs are unstable and outside of their normal limits. They may be unconscious. The doctor expects the outcome to be poor, or they can’t predict how the person will fare.” Just one more lunatic with a gun killing an innocent person as an outworking of their own mental illness. And this is the kind of person who is — or was — a heavyweight in GOP circles in Florida, bottom line.
