Irony Time

A number of sources report the NAACP has issued a "travel advisory" cautioning its members and friends not to travel to Florida. It alleges Florida is unwelcoming to African Americans, People of Color, and LGBTQ individuals.

The Daily Wire reports as follows.
The NAACP Board of Directors issued a statement on Saturday warning black Americans that the state of Florida was not a safe place for them and included an official “travel advisory” calling the state “openly hostile” – but the board’s chairman, Leon Russell, apparently lives in Florida himself.

Plus Power Line has a photo of the organization's vice chair Karen Boykin-Towns vacationing in Clearwater, FL. 

Florida GOP chairman Christian Ziegler responded thus.

True leadership is being willing to do what you ask others to do… time to step up and MOVE.
If you think our state is so bad, the @FloridaGOP will help with moving costs.

It would seem FL isn't so bad for BIPOCs after all.
