Jacksonville Rep. Jay Fant wants to be Florida's next attorney general.
His campaign has mystically transformed the state legislator
into a holier than thou defender of the faith.

Rep. Fant has an interesting history. In 1947 Fant's grandfather founded First Guarantee Bank and Trust in Jacksonville. Fant started working at the bank in 1994 and became the third generation CEO and board chairman in 2003. Until then the bank was a little jewel among community banks. By 2004, the bank started to acquire substandard loans. By 2010 it was virtually insolvent and in 2012 the Florida Office of Financial Regulation shuttered the bank, selling off the seven branches and transferring deposits to another Florida bank. Nice job Jay!
Now Rep. Fant seeks to make civility and fairness insolvent. Fant is pandering for the support of the state's Christian supremacists including Hate Group Leader John Stemberger.
The incumbent, Pam Bondi, is term limited. Bondi has set a low bar. She was the recipient of what appears to have been a Trump bribe to drop an investigation into Trump University. Bondi did everything possible to deter marriage equality in Florida for as long as she could. That was far more important than preventing an unlicensed scam school from preying on Florida citizens. Bondi has been a reliable anti-LGBT bigot throughout her tenure. Apparently Rep. Fant wants to succeed her as the office holder and to perpetuate her anti-LGBT agenda.
