A man drove his truck into a Pride parade in Florida today, hitting at least two people, one of whom has died. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was at the event and reportedly narrowly avoided being hit. https://t.co/wlydI998B8

Several states—including Florida—have passed laws that try to make those who hit protesters with their cars immune from prosecution. https://t.co/KJ6czqOsiJ

It was an accident.
The 77-year-old driver was a member of the LGBT community attending the event.
It was indeed an accident, but that doesn’t give absolution to DeSantis or Florida’s “Big Lie” Party for pushing and passing Fascist legislation that limits the rights of its citizens and is a clear in violation of the US Constitution.
