SNAKE: Republican-Turned-Democrat Charlie Crist Wins Democrat Nomination For Governor Against DeSantis

Crist, a Republican turned Democrat in 2012 who once served as Florida’s governor while still a member of the GOP, defeated Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried to win the Democratic Party’s nomination in a primary election on Tuesday.

The GOP is teeming with snakes.

Charlie Crist, I want to personally thank you.

Thank you for gifting us your congressional district in Pinellas County, paving the way for Republicans to take the House this November.

We also look forward to re-electing Governor Ron DeSantis.

Never forget that @CharlieCrist’s BFF Scott Rothstein perpetrated a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme/fraud, and Charlie lived very well off of that stolen money attending lavish yacht parties and flying private with Rothstein.

Fraud has always been a joke to Charlie Crist. https://t.co/3yHaROUADi

The stage is set for this November’s Florida gubernatorial election after Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., defeated Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried to win the Democratic Party’s nomination in a primary election on Tuesday.

Crist will now face off against incumbent GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in the general election for governor of the Sunshine State later this year.

Prior to Tuesday’s election, Crist, a Republican turned Democrat in 2012 who once served as Florida’s governor while still a member of the GOP, led Fried in a heated race that witnessed sharp attacks from both sides.

Much of Fried’s criticism toward Crist was directed towards his time as a member of the Republican Party, as well as his extensive career as a politician. During his campaign, Crist sought to tie Fried to Republican politicians and Republican-friendly lobby and business groups.

Both Fried and Crist were united in their criticism of DeSantis, however, as the two campaigns took aim at the state’s Republican leader over his handling of certain issues in the state and accused him of prioritizing a potential run for the White House over the needs of Floridians.

In May, Fried told Fox News Digital that DeSantis, who ran unopposed as he seeks re-election, was “creating havoc” in the state.

“He’s made our state unaffordable. He has divided our state. He is creating havoc in our local communities,” Fried said. “This governor has one goal and one goal only: to get to the White House, not to take care of the people of our state.”
