Gadsden County religious leaders are demanding a local commissioner and Gov. Ron DeSantis "come forward" to address allegations that the commissioner resigned last Friday after a photo surfaced purportedly showing him wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood at what could have been a Halloween party years earlier.

Jeffery Moore, a Havana resident and former Department of Revenue employee, was appointed by DeSantis in late July and abruptly resigned from the post in Florida’s only predominantly Black county after the photo began circulating in the local community.

Moore, the only Republican on the five-member board, also ended his campaign for the District 2 race, which was to be decided in the Nov. 8 general election.

Tracey Stallworth, a pastor who lives in Moore’s district, said the photo “appears to be him, but we're going to formally ask for the truth. We deserve that."

13. In a sane world, we would understand

this was taken at a Halloween party, where people dress as monsters so dressing as a Klansman would track. But we’re not in a same world, and the Klan isn’t a mythical monster.
