Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor Gets Cold Shoulder At Juneteenth Celebration Hosted By Dale Holness

Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor received the ice-cold shoulder treatment at an online Juneteenth celebration hosted by Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness. While the Zoom ceremony featured numerous online participants, Pryor was in the same room as Holness. After rattling off statistics for several minutes, Holness paused and said, “We have with us, State Attorney Harold Pryor.” After Pryor finished Holness simply stated “thank you State Attorney Pryor.”

Holness was much more enthusiastic in his introductions for other participants like Tamarac Commissioner Elberg Mike Gelin and Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony.

The awkward introduction comes just days after REDBROWARD broke the news that Pryor and his predecessor, Michael Satz, hosted a fundraiser for U.S. Congressional candidate Bobby DuBose. Holness is running against Dubose, Perry Thurston, Omari Hardy and Barbara Sharief for the Democratic nomination for the seat previously held by Alcee Hastings. Pryor hosted the DuBose event at the Riverside Hotel in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Political insiders were shocked by the DuBose endorsement since Holness was a strong backer of Pryor during the 2020 election.

Perhaps all is not well at Team Dale Holness headquarters?

God has truly blessed me with an amazing support system. Last night at Riverside Hotel, Harold Pryor and Michael Satz held a fundraising event in my honor. To everyone who continues to show their support, please know I offer my deepest gratitude. Thank you.”— Bobby DuBose

Even though controversial County Commissioner Dale Holness helped get him elected last November, new Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor is hosting a fundraiser for his opponent in the CD 23 U.S. Congressional race. On Wednesday evening, Pryor and his predecessor, Michael Satz, hosted a rooftop event in Fort Lauderdale for State Rep. Bobby DuBose. Holness, Dubose, State Sen. Perry Thurston, State Rep. Omari Hardy and County Commissioner Barbara Sharief are running to replace Congressman Alcee Hastings.

Broward insiders were shocked by the invite especially since Harold Pryor’s senior adviser often works for Dale Holness and his allies.

Perhaps the Broward State Attorney took note of the negative headlines swirling around Team Dale Holness and decided to back DuBose?
