Fried, addressing the Leadership Blue gala, compared the Republican Party of Florida to the officers who watched one of their own kill George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Fried wondered where was the Republican Party as over 4,000 Floridians have died of coronavirus and the Governor refuses to issue a mask mandate.
