Idiot Grim Reaper lawyer to target CPAC
Clown.

One would think that being publicly shamed and ridiculed by a court would dissuade Florida attorney Daniel Uhlfelder from any further acts of political clownsmanship, but one would be wrong.
Very wrong.
Uhlfelder, the Florida Grim Reaper, has no intention of quitting the partisan gimmick game, even after an appeals court recommended this month that the Florida Bar take disciplinary action against him for his idiotic and failed lawsuit against Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The attorney has plans now to troll Conservative Political Action Conference attendees this weekend in Orlando, Florida, with a plane pulling a banner that reads, “Welcome Insurrectionists!”
Wow, you’ve done it this time, Uhlfelder. Those CPAC attendees will never recover from this.
“The plane is slated to fly over CPAC’s hotel, the Hyatt Regency Orlando, between the hours of 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET on Friday,” according to Mediaite.
Look, in terms of things that matter in the world, the Florida attorney doesn’t even register. However, I would be lying if I said I am not a little fascinated by this weird, media-enabled creature, especially in light of what happened to him recently in court. So, please bear with me as I indulge in some morbid curiosity.
Uhlfelder has been using his super PAC, “Remove Ron,” to panhandle for donations on social media to finance the banner stunt.
“Retweet if you’d like to see a ‘Welcome, Insurrectionists!’ banner fly over CPAC this weekend for Ron DeSantis, Trump, and the rest of the GQP to see,” Uhlfelder said this week from the “Remove Ron” Twitter account.
This isn’t the first time that the Grim Reaper lawyer has used a banner plane to troll Republicans. He previously has paid planes to fly over former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate with messages that include “you pathetic loser” and “go back to Moscow.”
Honestly, with opposition such as this, it’s a wonder that Trump lost reelection.
More seriously, this type of asinine behavior is precisely why the 1st District Court of Appeal panel came down so hard on Uhlfelder this month after he tried to appeal a ruling against his case demanding that DeSantis close the beaches amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Unlike CNN and every other newsroom that elevated Uhlfelder to minor “resistance” stardom after he took to trawling Florida’s beaches dressed as the Grim Reaper, the appeals court panel immediately saw the Florida attorney for who he is: a partisan clown and a disgrace to the profession.
Uhlfelder has clearly abused his position as an attorney for political purposes. The sad part is that the court's rebuke has done nothing to cool his appetite for political theater. On the contrary, the threat of disciplinary action, and even monetary fines, appears to have emboldened Uhlfelder, as his planned CPAC stunt clearly suggests.
There does not appear to be any slowing down for the Florida attorney, who continues to raise money for his definitely-not-serious “Remove Ron” political action committee. Since the court's rebuke, Uhlfelder has gone so far as to suggest that the panel’s recommendations were politically motivated.
This is not a man who plans to back away any time soon from the circus; Uhlfelder seems totally committed to the bit, the angry appeals panel's recommendations notwithstanding.
Mark my words, though: Uhlfelder's media-enabled rise as a resistance celebrity, and his apparently insatiable appetite for attention from the resistance crowd, have put him right at the brink of disbarment. You heard it here first.
