Florida has 56 white supremacist groups in its borders and the majority of the nazis live in central Florida (Ocala/Palatka/Hogg Valley area) and south Georgia. This isn’t surprising.

The quotations are getting ridiculous. This isn’t a ‘hate crime’ It’s a hate crime.

The quotes were because it wasn’t a declaration by the writer or an editorial choice, it was an actual quote (or snippet of one) by a public official. In this case, it’s appropriate.

They're literally quoting someone. It's standard practice in media and grammatically correct.
