The Citrus Chronicle, headed by Trina Murphy (whose husband is running for Citrus County Florida Board of Commissioners) has been waging a hate campaign against MassResistance, specifically our Florida chapter, and one of our chapter leaders John Labriola.
They frequently the discredited hate group known as The Southern Poverty Law Center:

Here is some of their latest defamatory remarks against MassResistance:
Candidates for Inverness Council
John Labriola and Crystal Lizanich filed Wednesday to run for Inverness City Council Seat 1, currently held by David Ryan.
Ryan also filed to run for re-election.
Labriola made a name for himself in recent months in his quest to ban LGBTQ+ displays in county libraries.
He has attracted a following who have repeatedly attended city and county public meetings to get elected officials to join the effort.
Labriola is the local representative of MassResistance, which was labeled an anti-LGBTQ hate group in 2021 by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Countycommission candidates name endorsements
Diana Finegan, Republican: Homosassa Fishing Guides Association, United Christians of Florida, which is a statewide political action committee, The Citrus Eagle and Christian Voters’ Guide, which is produced by Citrus Crusader. The Citrus Crusader is the local chapter of MassResistance, led by John Labriola. Both Labriola and other members of the Citrus Crusaders/MassResistance have been critical of the library’s Gay Pride displays. MassResistance was labeled an anti-LGBTQ hate group in 2021 by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
There is no reason for the Citrus Chronicles to list a hate group like the Southern Poverty Law Center in connection with MassResistance expect that they want to incite hatred, abuse, and violence against our activists.
There are other concerns with the Citrus Chronicle, too.
They are completely supportive of LGBT indoctrination and grooming targeting children.
They support the racism and bigotry of the SPLC, since they have a long history of defaming Jews, Muslims, and immigrants, along with their long-standing efforts to deprive African-American children of a quality education.
The SPLC has been sued mulitple times for defamation, and they have been forced to pay massive settlements for their vile libel.
And once again, regarding their heated incitement to violence against anyone who does not agree with them, here are two disturbing examples:
- A deranged gunman targeted staff at the Family Research Council in Washington, DC in 2012. Check out a statement from one of the victims here.
- An El Monte church was bombed because it was on the SPLC Hit list, too: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/535555-authorities-investigating-explosion-at-los-angeles-church/
It’s time to name names, and people need to contact them and tell the editors and writers at the Citrus Chronicle to stop spreading hate and promoting violence.
