Florida Mother Behind Amanda Gorman Ban Has Proud Boy Links
Daily Salinas, the parent behind the banning of Amanda Gorman’s poem at a Florida school, appears to have attended Proud Boys rallies and has previously posted antisemitic memes online.

In one photo, Salinas can be seen standing next to Enrique Tarrio, the group’s neo-fascist leader who was found guilty of seditious conspiracy last month.
