<p>Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) fired back on Tuesday after an MSNBC guest claimed that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> was &#8220;about to be a terrorist state&#8221; for black Americans and anyone in the LGBTQ community.</p>
<p>Democratic strategist Aisha Mills made the comment to &#8220;Deadline White House&#8221; host Nicolle Wallace, referencing a travel warning from the NAACP that labeled Florida &#8220;hostile&#8221; to black Americans and the LGBTQ population. Waltz, a combat veteran and a Green Beret who was literally trained to fight terrorists, said Mills was &#8220;legitimately insane.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">MSNBC guest says Florida is about to be a “terrorist state” for black people and lesbians. These people are legit insane: <a href="https://t.co/JKNwX8kCYh">pic.twitter.com/JKNwX8kCYh</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1660769052510265345?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 22, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Wallace brought up the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/naacp-leader-tells-black-americans-that-florida-isnt-safe-for-them-guess-where-he-lives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">travel warning</a>, issued by the NAACP over the weekend, which said in part, &#8220;Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mills said that she appreciated the warning from the NAACP, saying, &#8220;I think it was extremely clever, and I really appreciate the NAACP&#8217;s guidance on this issue, you know, I just took my family to Spring Break in Florida recently, and I think about all of the folks who travel there for sun and joy and peace and restoration — and to be reminded that actually this is getting to the point where Florida is about to be a terrorist state to many of us here in America. Certainly as a lesbian, as a black woman, I don&#8217;t want to have anything to do with the place.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mills went on to say that she felt like the NAACP&#8217;s guidance drew attention to those who might have considered traveling there and would choose to make different plans: &#8220;I thank them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Radio host Clay Travis shared a video clip of Mills&#8217; appearance, adding, &#8220;These people are legit insane&#8221; — and Waltz readily agreed.</p>

<p>&#8220;<span class="r-18u37iz">@ClayTravis </span>is 100% correct,&#8221; Waltz tweeted in response. &#8220;As a combat veteran, I’ve been shot at by actual terrorists in war torn countries. These people are legitimately insane.&#8221;</p>

<p>Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler also responded to the NAACP&#8217;s warning, noting that the organization&#8217;s chairman — Leon Russell — lived in Florida himself.</p>
<p>&#8220;True leadership is being willing to do what you ask others to do … time to step up and MOVE,&#8221; Ziegler <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisMZiegler/status/1660398351139975170" target="_blank" rel="noopener">challenged Russell</a>. &#8220;If you think our state is so bad, the @FloridaGOP will help with moving costs.&#8221;</p>
