(Sarasota, FL) -- A Sarasota Republican running for Congress is locked in a battle with a homeowner's association over a "Lets Go Brandon" Christmas lights display.  Martin Hyde was told he had to remove the lighted letters meant to take a dig at President Biden or risk hefty fines.  Hyde complied, but then unveiled an even larger display reading "FJB," which are the initials for a vulgarity aimed at the president.  The HOA says Hyde signed a contract agreeing not to display signs outside his home, but he tells the Herald-Tribune the rules are being selectively enforced.
