THE RPOF LAVENDER POLITICAL OPERATOR ANTHONY PEDICINI
I am Jon Susce the Publisher of Sarasota Phoenix Media Inc. We are currently being sued by political operative Anthony Pedicini, who the Florida Trident states, "regularly employ deception, such as false allegations or fake support from ideological enemies, to mislead voters". Pedicini is using the legal system with "lawfare" tactics to damage or delegitimize Jon Susce and the Sarasota Phoenix. In using lawfare tactics, Pedicini has access to the $ millions from Pedicini's dark and dirty PACs and LLCs funneled in and from the Florida Republican establishment centered in Tallahassee. Mr. Susce and the Sarasota Phoenix need funds to continue to take on the likes of Pedicini and this lawfare lawsuit.

The Pedicini/DeSantis/Power Junta
THE TALLAHASSEE ESTABLISHMENT JUNTA TAKING OUT TRUMP MAGA FIRST ACTIVISTS AS AMERICA FIRST PARTY NEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED
AMERICA FIRST ACTIVISTS NEED TO MOVE ON FROM DeSANTIS/POWER/PEDICINI RPOF CONTROL
WAYMAN & HEISSE ARE DEPOSED FOR TAKING OUT PEDICINI AND BERUFF HANDPICKED CANDIDATES
With what has recently happened in Manatee County and beyond in Florida's RECs, it can no longer be denied that Trump MAGA America First grassroots activists are being treated like garbage and need to move on from the RPOF.
The RPOF has lied, deceived, and intimidated members to toe the line and split the party through lawfare tactics similar to those used against Trump and the same crooked election strategies that the Democrats used in federal elections.
WAYMN AND HEISSE REPLACED BY RPOF ESTABLISHMENT FLUNKIES
Heisse and Wayman
It is also undeniable that Governor Ron DeSantis could care less that the corrupt Tallahassee based RPOF under Evan Power’s leadership has replaced elected Trump MAGA America First Manatee County State Committeeman Trent Wayman and Manatee State Committeewoman Jacki Heisse.
The elected Wayman and Heisse were replaced by two unelected establishment flunkies, like the lavender Anthony “Ybor” Pedicini flunky, Jennings DePriest and Jayne Kocher. The Tallahassee led coup have no problem that no MREC members voted for Depriest, Kocher or the recent installed Chairman of the MREC, Mark Flanagan.
Power could care less that Wayman's replacement, DePriest has a over $183,000 IRS lien on his home or Heise's replacement Kocher has a $163,000 IRS lien on her home.
Wiles
DeSantis has always wanted control of the RPOF ever since he ran off the now Trump Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles when she attempted to take control of the RPOF in 2019. Now he has control with his flunky Power.
Gruters
As for Wiles, she too is preoccupied with her role as Trump’s Chief of Staff to concern herself with the implications of Power corrupting the RPOF and purging Trump MAGA America First activists. Wiles has her flunky, Florida State Senator Joe Gruters doing what he does best, which is going along to get along with multi-millionaire and billionaire donors who control the corrupt RPOF.
” Whitmore with Flangan and former Vern Buchanan press secretary Chloe Conboy, as Whitmore states, “Congratulations goes to Mark Flanagan. He has agreed to assume the position of Chairman of the Republican executive committee."
TRUMP MAGA AMERICA FIRST ACTIVISTISTS NEED TO MOVE ON FROM THE WHITMORE GANG
There cannot be any doubt that Trump MAGA America First activists need to move on from the RPOF, as they witness over 100 establishment Republicans outrageously endorsing the illegal takeover of the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee (MREC), led by longtime Never Trump, Carol Whitmore. Whitmore, who calls America First activists, “lunatics and on the fringe of the Republican Party” have no problem that no MREC members voted for Depriest, Kocher or Flanagan.
The Whitmore Gang and the Tallahassee establishment have no intention of allowing American First activists leadership positions in the MREC, which they have fought to win.
Ybor Pedicini who the Florida Trident calls "HATCET MAN" with shady money and shadier tactics
This action by the RPOF under the establishment leadership of Power is nothing more than retribution for Manatee County Republican America First led grassroots organizers sending the RPOF and Beruff lavender political operative Anthony Pedicini back to Tampa as a big-time loser. According to the Florida Trident, the "Hatchet Man" Pedicini has received $millions from the RPOF. Hatchet Man: Campaign consultant Anthony Pedicini wins big with shady politics, shadier money - Florida Trident
Pedicini with Cruz-"Tampa's 1st Lady" and "Cruzmissle"
Pedicini was sent back to Tampa, where he can have the self-proclaimed "Cruzmissle and "Tampa's 1st Lady" of Tampa Democrat Mayor Jane Castor, Anna Cruz sit in his lap once again.
The RPOF major political operative with "shady money and sadier tactis" and liberal Democrat Mayor of Tampa-Jane Castor
It a major scandal that the RPOF and Republican House PAC has given over $35 million dollars to this lavender political operative Pedicini in bed with Castor and her "Cruzmissle", who is politically active with local, state and national Democrat liberal organizations.
Castor's "First Lady" has helped run Florida campaigns for President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. The Cruzmissle was executive director of the Florida Democrat Party and worked as a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton's 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns.
Andrade
Equally outrageous actions by the RPOF to gain retribution for their million-dollar donors like Beruff, Pat Neal and others, is a Pedicini flunky, who is Florida State Representative Alex Andrade. The Pedicini flunky has been imported from a corrupt political cabal in the panhandle of Florida to take out Pedicini detractors.
Andrade, an attorney from Pensacola, has been imported by Pedicini to take out various individuals who were instrumental in taking out the candidates of the lavender ally of Mayor Castor---YBOR PEDICINI.
TRUMP MAGA AMERICA FIRST PETITION TO REMOVE THE CORRUPT LEADERSHIP OF POWER AND HELMICH IGNORED
Helmich
A recent petition that has been circulating and signed by thousands of MAGA America First grassroots activists calling for, among other grievances, the resignations of Power and the RPOF Executive Director Bill Helmich, being ignored necessitates a split from the RPOF.
The ignored petition was an attempt to make things right and return the RPOF back to President Donald Trump's MAGA America First movement. That could only be accomplished with the removal of the Ramba lobbyist Power and Helmich stepping down as Chair and Executive Director of the Party and initiating the following:
1. The immediate reinstatement in good standing with voting privileges all purged members of the RPOF suspended by the Mark Cross led Grievance Committee.
2. The immediate suspension of Mark Cross, Chairman of the Grievance Committee from the Republican Party for gross malfeasance.
3. The immediate suspension of William Stafford Jones of the Grievance Committee from the Republican Party for gross malfeasance.
4. Suspension of all expenditures to or involving LGBTQ activist and dark money operator Anthony Pedicini, SIMWINS, or associated firms for the destruction of Republican candidates and campaigns, directly harming the future of the Republican Party of Florida.
As the petition request has been ignored by RPOF leadership in Tallahassee, Power continues to remove MAGA Trump America First activists from leadership positions within the Florida REC.
Trump MAGA America First activists cannot go quietly into the night as the RPOF coup in Manatee County has seen a NEVER Trump, Whitmore and 100 fellow travelers in bed with the RPOF establishment in Tallahassee. An establishment, which could care less that Manatee County is one of 10 Florida counties seeing thousands of Trump MAGA American First activists being purged from local REC
Those recent actions by the RPOF Grievance Committee recommending, and State Chairman Powers approving, the brazen removal of elected Manatee County State Republican Committeeman Wayman and Committeewoman Heisse is outrageous and borders on the criminal.
Speir
The illegal takeover of the MREC led by establishment RINOs like Whitmore has been best described by America First Congressional candidate Eddie Speir in this manner:
"When we administer a defeat against the establishment Republican Party, they don't like it and use this RPOF suspension as a retribution. They are trying to kill off the grassroots of the local Republican Party. This is nothing more than a retaliation for what happened in taking back our government in Manatee County."
Servia
Former Manatee County Commissioner Misty Servia commented in the Bradenton Times, “How are duly elected people removed from their seats by the State Party? Doesn't a turn-around plan usually have goals and an action plan? Look, I genuinely hope the REC gets it together, but the list of new appointees may find they are serving amongst a couple who thrive in chaos and hate.”
FLANAGAN A RPOF/BUCHANAN/PEDICINI/BERUFF/NEAL FLUNKY
It is almost comical and and at the same time absurd that the Power led corrupt RPOF installed their flunky Mark Flanagan to be a Beruff/Neal puppet supported by Whitmore and her gang, who have been called accurately, “closet Democrats.”
Buchanan
What is not funny and accurate, is that U.S. Congressman Vern Buchanan's fingerprints are all over Flanagan being made Chairman of the MREC, as an establishment flunky endorsed by Whitmore.
The last thing the Longboat Key-Sarasota resident Buchanan, who is the Vice Chairman of the powerful U.S House Ways and Means Committee, would want, is having Trump MAGA America First Manatee resident Spier perched as Chairman of the MREC in 2025, taking on Buchanan in 2026.
Buchanan and his establishment base led by Whitmore went crazy when Speir made that announcement at the annual Manatee County Republican Liberty Caucus on 8/31/24, where Speir received the Champion of Liberty Award.
The establishment RPOF had no intention of letting Speir, who is a potential opponent of U.S. Congressman Buchanan in the 2026 election, occupy a leadership position at the MREC.
Speir received 40% of the vote despite Buchanan outspending Speir 4-1 and Speir having nowhere near the name recognition that Buchanan has accumulated over the years.
Speir achieved what he needed to do in taking on the Longboat Key Buchanan in 2024, which was gaining name recognition and favorability. Thus, Speir becomes a candidate voters may now believe can take out Buchanan in 2026.
WHITMORE FORMER BERUFF/NEAL/BENDERSON/JENSEN FLUNKY
Whitmore is a former Manatee County Commissioner, who for years served as a Pat Neal and Carlos Beruff flunky turning Manatee County into Paradise Lost, as exemplified by approving projects like the "disaster on several fronts", the Beruff the Aqua by the Bay project.
Whitmore's favorite developers back in the day-Jensen/Benderson/Beruff/Neal
When Whitmore was not 100% for the developers destroying Manatee County, Beruff brought in Anthony Pedicini to take her out. It did not matter that for years Whitmore sucked up to Beruff, Neal, Randy Benderson, Rex Jensen and others who stuffed Whitmore in their pockets.
Despite Beruff taking her out, there can now be lttle doubt that Whitmore and others will crawl back in bed with the Beruff/Neal Gang, who have no doubt endorsed the takeover of the MREC.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE WHITMORE GANG WHO ENDORSED THE ILLEGAL TAKOVER OF THE MREC
Take a look at some of the individuals who gave their approval of Whitmore's posting on Facebook, “Congratulations goes to Mark Flanagan. He has agreed to assume the position of chairman of the Republican executive committee.”
Brill
Starting and ending with the Chairman of the Sarasota County Republican Committee (SREC) Jack Brill, there is no need to waste time in exposing the other establishment RINOs in bed with Beruff/Neal Gang, in taking out America First activists in leadership positions at the MREC.
The Evan Power flunky Brill has purged over 125 America First activists from the Sarasota Republican Executive Committee (SREC), which included leaders of the MAGA America First activists, Connie Brunni and Michelle Pozzie. Either one would have defeated Brill for Chairman of the SREC with the over 125 purged America First activists.
Jennings
Whitmore and the corrupt RPOF have no problem taking out the elected State Committeeman Wayman with a Pedicini flunky DePriest, who assisted Pedicini in turning the Manatee County Commission into a Beruff SHIT SHOW and has that IRS $ 183,000 lien on his home.
Whitmore and her gang have no problem with DePriest working from inside the MREC for the same Ybor Pedicini, who is out of the closet in the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa in support of Tampa Democrat liberal Mayor Jane Castor and her LGBTQ coalition and taking out critics of Castor.
According to the Bradenton Times. “During the most recent local elections, DePriest became known among local political circles for his controversial electioneering activities. A self-described 'professional propagandist'.”
The Times continued, “DePriest made a name for himself through his attempts to influence voters with mass letter and text campaigns, social media influence efforts, and other antics—some of which were undertaken outside polling locations.”
May and Wright
AMERICA FIRST WRIGHT AND MAY IGNORED BY POWER FLUNKY
One of Florida's most respected Trump America First grassroot activist's, Kevin Wright, along with the America First Manatee Patriots organization's Jack May, have been ignored by the RPOF when they stated that America First activists' Constitutional rights are being violated by the Tallahassee based RPOF in removing elected Wayman and Heisse.
Both Wright and May, whose organizations led the fight to take out the Beruff and Pedicini handpicked candidates turning Manatee County Commission into a Shit Show, have also been ignored by Whitmore flunky and Power imposed Chairman of the MREC, Flanagan.
TRUMP MAGA AMERICA FIRST ACTIVISTS NEED TO MOVE ON FROM THE CORRUPT RPOF POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IN THE POCKETS OF ESTABLISHMENT MULTIMILLIONAIRE DONORS
The shutdown of the MREC and the imposition of leadership against the will of the America First activists is quite simple—The RPOF establishment based in Tallahassee is a corrupt political organization under the control of establishment Republicans financed by multimillionaire donors
AND
As mentioned above, with what has recently happened in Manatee County and beyond in Florida it can no longer be denied that Trump MAGA America First grassroots activists are being treated like garbage and need to move on from the RPOF.
