I’m not going to study the issue.
I’m not going to negotiate the issue.
I’m not going to compromise on the issue.
AI data centers will be banned when I am Governor of Florida.
Florida gubernatorial candidate says he won’t 'kiss the stupid wall,' vows to boycott Israel, divest state funds, and halt Israel bonds investment
——
During a campaign speech at the University of Central Florida on 5 February 2026, Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback declared he would not visit Israel under any circumstances, nor "kiss the stupid wall," in reference to the tradition of US politicians visiting the Western Wall. He called it a “career loyalty test,” and argued such trips do not benefit Floridians.
Instead, he said he would prioritize a trade mission to Brazil, Florida’s top trading partner, within his first 100 days in office to create 5,000 jobs.
Fishback also pledged to divest all $385 million in Florida-held Israel Bonds on his first day in office and redirect the funds into a domestic housing assistance program called “Rise and Shine,” which would provide $10,000 grants for married Florida couples.
He further attacked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a “corrupt war criminal” and stating Netanyahu would not be welcome in Florida under his administration. The remarks drew condemnation from Jewish organizations and political leaders, who described the rhetoric as "antisemitic" and dismissive of a holy site.
.@ByronDonalds was just paid $5 million by a SuperPAC to build AI DATA CENTERS in Florida.
How is this even legal?
As Governor, I will *block* the construction of AI Data Centers that jack up our electric bills and contaminate our water.
Someone aligned with Planned Parenthood should not be chairing a subcommittee focused on the health of Floridians.
I hope the Florida House addresses this, and my office will not be cooperating with that subcommittee as long as Rep. Andrade is involved.
@tedcruz Ted Cruz has not "tweeted" about H-1B since 2016.
Repost if you think this is shameful as a representative of Texas.
Gen Z wants their jobs back.
BREAKING: I’m running to succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida’s next Republican Governor to make life more affordable for you and your family.
I’ll stop the H-1B scam, tell Blackstone they can't buy our homes, cancel AI Data Centers, and abolish property taxes.
