The Calkins love Putin [video]

   August 8, 2022

Over the weekend, this video of Santa Rosa County Commissioner James Calkins and his wife Mariya, who is running for Florida House District 3, was circulated among Republicans. I received four messages with the link yesterday.

There was a time that such a video celebrating Russia and Putin would be the kiss of death for a politician’s career, but will impact the Calkins in 2022?

A  military veteran wrote me, “As a retired military officer, this makes me cringe. I expect this to come up during Public Forum in tomorrow morning’s BOCC meeting.”
