Florida Man Sues Americans for Prosperity for Discrimination

Carl Baxter, a Black Trump supporter in Florida, has filed a lawsuit against Americans for Prosperity (AFP), claiming discrimination after being called a 'slave' during his brief employment with the organization. Baxter alleges that he was fired shortly after he complained about unpaid wages and was offered a $500 bribe to gather damaging information on a local politician. The lawsuit highlights a culture of discrimination within AFP, which has a history of promoting conservative policies and has been criticized for misleading advertisements. Baxter, who is also the president of the Republican Club of North & East Fort Myers, encountered this incident during his 12-day stint as a grassroots associate. AFP has faced scrutiny for its political actions, including its past support for Nikki Haley's presidential campaign, which Trump publicly criticized. The case has garnered national attention, reflecting broader issues of race and politics within conservative circles.
