Has Fernand Amandi been binge-watching Joe Scarborough? You have to wonder, given his attack vocabulary on Ron DeSantis on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday Show this morning. Amandi—an MSNBC analyst and Florida-based Democrat consultant—borrowed one of Scarborough's signature moves: riding a favorite phrase into the ground. No fewer than four times, Amandi described DeSantis, with full stops between each word, as a "MAGA. Extremist. Bully."For good measure, Amandi employed another tired Scarborough trope: referring to DeSantis as a "fascist." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

MIAMI — Florida Democrats are fretting over Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ popularity among Latinos, saying they are boosting his chances of becoming the first Republican governor in 20 years to win traditionally blue Miami-Dade County and therefore propelling his chances of a successful presidential run in 2024. Miami-Dade, the state's most populous county, is 70% Hispanic. The last time a Republican governor won Miami-Dade County was Jeb Bush in 2002. Unlike DeSantis, Bush held press conferences in fluent Spanish and his wife is Mexican-born. DeSantis is an “outlier” among Republican governors, said Fernand Amandi, a Democratic consultant and pollster in...

Robert Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration and is currently a Professor of Public Policy at University of California, Berkley, expressed interest on Tuesday in making the last name of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis an official synonym for "fascist." Reich is not the first left-wing person to dub the governor a fascist. It has become a more common occurrence as DeSantis has increased his national profile, some think with an eye toward running for the presidency in 2024. "The View's" Sunny Hostin previously called DeSantis a "fascist and a bigot," MSNBC host Joy Reid call...

VIDEO Democrat pollster Fernand Amandi used to maintain a thin veneer of sanity back when he was a radio host on South Florida radio station WIOD in 2016. At the time he smugly mocked any callers who dared to suggest that Donald Trump had even a slight chance of winning the presidential election that year. Well, we all know what happened and after the election it was Amandi himself who was subjected to a barrage of well-deserved mockery from the callers. After a few months of this, he pretty much went off the deep end into Full Mental Jacket territory...

VIDEOOne of the entertaining fringe benefits of the big loss by Democrats in Virginia and other places this week was the spectacle of the MSNBC howlers going full Moonbat in reaction. One of the Moonbats, Fernand Amandi, is of particular interest to your humble correspondent since he used to host a local South Florida talk show on WIOD Radio in the months leading up to the 2016 election. During that period he was your typical calm yet incredibly smug liberal who basked in the certainty that Hillary Clinton had the election in the bag. His show mostly consisted of Amandi...

Back in 2006, when Venezuela's communist dictator Hugo Chavez took the UN podium, he claimed, in an allusion to the Devil, to still smell the "sulphur" from the previous day, when then-President George W. Bush had spoken. In a reprise of Chavez's clownish act, MSNBC contributor Fernand Amandi, after viewing a Tucker Carlson clip that Tiffany Cross ran on her MSNBC show this morning, dramatically waved his hand in the air, claiming he had to "wipe the stink off of that, because that polluting, racist talk is just stinking it up here in the Amandi household."Get the rest of the...

If there's one thing Democrats—black Democrats in particular—can't stand, it's an African-American who dares to be a Republican or conservative. Over the years, we've seen the abuse—at times flagrantly racist in nature—heaped on Clarence Thomas and Condoleeza Rice. And MSNBC's Joy Reid outrageously ridiculed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "Uncle Clarence." Nowadays, Democrat abuse for such inexcusable apostasy is aimed largely at Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. On her MSNBC show Saturday morning, Tiffany Cross repeatedly tore into Scott, branding his response to President Biden's address to Congress, and in particular, Scott's comments on the Georgia election...

VIDEO You might not be familiar with Fernand Amandi if you are not from South Florida although he appears a lot on national network shows. Amandi suffers from EXTREME Trump Derangement Syndrome which hit him especially hard right after the 2016 election. Leading up-to that election, Amandi hosted a show in Miami on WIOD radio in which he exhibited a smug arrogant certainty that Hillary Clinton would win the election. He encouraged Trump supporters to call in so he could condescendingly mock them for actually thinking that Trump had a chance of winning the election. After the election, Amandi...

Perhaps Politico might want to reconsider publishing polls conducted by pollsters with a background of extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Such polls do tend to be chock full of errors as was the case in the poll Politico published on Wednesday which was conducted by Democratic pollster Fernand Amandi who has a well earned TDS reputation leading to the suspicion that his polls reflect an obvious agenda.  In the case of the Amandi poll that Politico featured it shows Trump losing Florida despite polling irregularities and contradictory stats that are fairly easy to find. Before we get to the Politico story blaring that...

VIDEO The DUmmies are celebrating a poll with dubious veracity due to it being conducted by a pollster with a history of extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome. The one who conducted this fake poll is one Fernand Amandi who is a well-known TDS sufferer in South Florida. In 2016, leading up to the election, Amandi as a daily WIOD radio host kept harping constantly at how it was IMPOSSIBLE for Trump to win either Florida of the general election. He delivered his prognostications on this topic with an air of an incredibly smug chip-on-the-shoulder attitude in which he directed mocking condescension...

On MSNBC’s AM Joy, guest Fernand Amandi made outlandish claims against the Republican party, accusing the GOP of being a “domestic terror group” which should be locked up. As Newsbusters journalist Brad Wilmouth reported, the comments came after host Joy Reid asked Mr. Amandi a routine question. "We know that Florida has a large abundance of people who are on CHIP. In a state like that, can the members of Congress from Florida afford not to renew CHIP? And why haven't they pushed for it?”, asked Reid. CHIP stands for the Children's Health Insurance Program. Amandi's response included typical Democrat...
