Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida Announces the Induction of Senate President Kathleen Passidomo into the “Oath Breakers Hall of Shame”
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida created the “Oath Breakers Hall of Shame” in 2020 to recognize elected officials that have broken their Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution. According to RLC Florida Chairman Bob White, “as the conscience of the Republican Party we believe it’s our responsibility to call out the power players in Tallahassee, and in Washington DC, when they fail to live up to their sacred oath of office”. Primarily focused on legislators and leadership in Tallahassee, past recipients of this dubious distinction have also included US Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio for introducing red flag legislation at the Federal level.
This year’s recipient, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, is being inducted for her refusal to allow legislation to even be heard in the Senate that would strengthen 2nd Amendment rights of Floridians and strengthen election integrity measures in Florida.
Several bills addressing these issues are included in the RLC’s 2024 Legislative Agenda. According to White “her arrogant response” to the Republican Party of Florida presenting a list of their legislative priorities for consideration also factored into the decision. “The First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the right of the people to peacefully assemble in order to petition their government for a redress of their grievances. We need leaders in Tallahassee possessed with humility and patience, not arrogance and self righteousness”.
Some might consider the creation of the “Oath Breakers Hall of Shame” to be an extreme measure but White says its entirely in keeping with the mission of the Republican Liberty Caucus to be the conscience of the Republican party. “We’ve never been afraid to hold our party and elected Republican office holders responsible for their votes and their positions, and we’re not about to stop now. It is her numerous violations of her oath of office that has required this extreme sanction.”
