America’s self-described “Congressman with Guts,” Alan Grayson, is once again showing the country how “shamelessly” divisive he is, by once again dawning his political white hood to post another dumb, over-the-top statement about how Republicans want Americans to die.
Grayson took to twitter to state,”GOP to America’s working poor: Drop Dead,” which was accompanied by a picture of a recently deceased Florida mother holding her young son.GOP to America’s working poor: Drop Dead. pic.twitter.com/aNEe4sL05m

Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
The woman, Charlene Dill, collapsed and died as a result of a heart condition she has been struggling with for years. Grayson blames the Republican-led Florida legislature for her death because the governing body did not expand Medicaid under Obamacare.
Several years back, Grayson said that the Republican healthcare plan was “die quickly.” Now it’s “Drop dead.”
Jorge Bonilla, a Navy veteran and Republican congressional candidate challenging Grayson in this year’s mid-term elections, recently slammed the Democrat congressman for “shamelessly” exploiting Ms. Dill’s death in one of his campaign fundraising emails.If Mr. Grayson truly believes that Republicans are now accomplices to murder (“death by dogma”), then he should contact the appropriate State Attorney (Meggs or Ashton, pick one) so that charges may be filed against those he accuses.
Otherwise, it may be more productive to come together and find ways to ensure coverage for the truly indigent. Then again, this may require actual leadership in lieu of the usual strategies of racial grievance, class and gender warfare.
By now it is common knowledge that Mr. Grayson’s modus operandi is to smear his political opponents as heartless racist bigots, rather than attempt to show leadership and persuade others to his positions.
This behavior may play well in union halls and elite liberal salons, but is not a representation of true American values.
Serious times call for serious leadership, especially on healthcare, and it is beneath the dignity of the congressional office he holds to render human tragedy into cheap fundraising fodder.-Jorge Bonilla (Website)
In 2013, former Congressman Allen West excoriated Grayson on national TV for using cross-burning image, depicting grassroots Americans as Klansmen. Grayson has yet to apologize for that tasteless fundraising email. Since then, West has named Bonilla to his PAC’s “Ones to Watch” list of candidates. Coincidence?
