City commissioner and Tallahassee mayoral candidate Jeremy Matlow posted a video on Facebook calling President Trump and Governor DeSantis racists.
The Facebook caption on the video, which was posted after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk said, “Respond with kindness.”
The inflammatory comments by Matlow come as leaders across the U.S. grapple with how to unify the country amid increasing political violence.
Ironically, in his mayoral campaign announcement, Matlow said, “I am uniquely qualified to bring our community together under a common vision and to seek collaboration with all that are willing to make Tallahassee a better place.”

Glad to see Lorraine Ausley enter the mayor race. Matlow is a proud progressive with ‘the end justifies the means’ ethics. He will be incredibly divisive to this community.
Does this guy have a platform? What has he ever done that has benefited the people of this community besides making pizza? Since our choices are a Dem or a Dem – I want to know who has a real plan to improve the city.
Occupy gains street pies! Arrive with a full belly to “tailgate” before the game. Take up a table and order pitchers of water with lemon. Make sure to tip your server if they have the correct DEI complexion. Also lets return post game and join to celebrate the victory.
No Gaines Street pizza for me. He’s as bad as Ben & Jerry.
DSP, the fact that you’re repeating the “fine people on both sides” lie is proof you are lying.
If you want to discredit someone, without proof or facts, call them a racist.
Obviously you can not say something bad about an ethnic group even if it is true, because that makes you a racist, bull poop I say.
Matlow is pandering to the black vote and those with blue hair and nose rings.
That is all you need in this town.
Deep State Provoker,
Now lean into ALL the democrat statements that were COMPLETE racism.
And for that you don’t have to make up quotes. You can start with the Clintons and Biden and Obama
Matlow is not wrong but he is unsuited for leadership.
As mayor, he will be able to bring housing prices down.’(Because so many residents will be leaving.)
Has Mamdani the Commie endorsed him yet?
Well, that’s one way to lose an Election.
Remember when Trump went on TV and insisted that Haitian immigrants were eating all of the dogs and cats in Springfield, IL? It wasn’t true, but racists ate it up.
Remember when Trump said: “I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black,” You know who thought that was a hilarious statement? Racists.
Remember when Trump went on TV and stated that ‘there were good people on both sides’ of a set of protests where one side wore KKK outfits? Everyone gets one guess on if the KKK members are racist or not.
Remember when Republican governors led the effort to overturn parts of the Civil Rights Act?
And then immediately started closing polling places in minority districts? That’s racist and simply observable fact.
Remember a year ago, when we didn’t have officers not showing their faces or badges throwing brown people into unmarked vans?
I do.
Not every Republican is racist, but every racist votes Republican. It’s just so funny to see people try to deny it. Why not just lean into it? It seems to be working. I mean, it’s not like it’s going to cost you any voters, and you would at least have a shred of intellectual honesty left.
Yes, Trump and Desantis are so racist that they got more Hispanic and Black vote than any republicans have in the last 40 years. Good job Matlow you nailed it.
2 to 1 liberals in this town. The city commission reflects that and nothing will change. Im still planning to move to a better county.
Who can bring common sense to our City Commission. More importantly, who will actually vote for it?
People in this town really need to see this guy for the smarmy jerk he really is…
Matlow is a one trick pony…all hate and no cattle.
Radical Leftist.
All Democrats do is fight anything Trump does and be obstructionist.
Reasonable Democrats are seeing their party is controlled by radicals.
That will not help when it comes to negotiating with the federal and state governments in order to get grants and a aid contracts for our city!
Mr. Matlow. You have a constitutional right to freedom of speech.
What you now will personally realize is that you are not guaranteed freedom of employment because of your personal views.
“Hast la vista, baby”.
