Florida paper does about-face says Sheriff Scott Israel has gotta go

Better late than never. The Broward Sun-Sentinel has pulled an about-face, and after months of backing Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, the paper now says it agrees with the GOP that the man in charge during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting needs to be removed from office.

In an unexpected editorial published the paper insisted that the “failed leadership of Broward Sheriff Scott Israel” is enough to have him removed from office and that the paper’s editorial board now agrees with Gov.-elect Ron DeSantis that Israel must go. The paper notes that it has supported Israel repeatedly in the past. It also pointed out that the unions supported him, but that was “largely because of pay raises.”
