So it's okay for everyone else to be on their phone, but because it is C. Jones we have to demonize her?
Our elected officials represent us. I would expect them to show some courtesy if not some genuine interest in the substance of the speech.

She could have picked her nose the entire speech and it would have been time better spent compared to listening to Gaetz.

If I'm not mistaken, these photos are taken from Danny Glidewells facebook page. My point being that if we are going to make it out that Jones was not paying attention by being on her phone, then perhaps we should also bring attention to Glidewell doing literally the same thing paying more attention to his opponent than the speaker.

But, whoever took the photo is not our representative. Your manners matter when you are representing the citizens of this county, or this state, or this country. If you are a common citizen, you have every right to be a goober.

I really don’t care who took the photo. There is virtually a 100% chance it wasn’t one of my county representatives. It has to do with courtesy and respect when you are an elected official.

I did not take the photos. They were sent to me by someone in the back of the room. I was sitting on the 2nd row. I posted them because they offended my sense of decency and respect. The event was not mandatory and was clearly advertised as to who was speaking. So, if you were not interested, stay away. But show some respect if you attend.
