TAMPA, Fla. — A group of Hispanic notables gathered last week at a meat market here and practically pleaded for ideas about how to beat Ron DeSantis.

The imperious Florida governor is not only a heavy favorite to get reelected but a dominant Republican figure widely expected to make a run for the White House — and he needs to be stopped, the people on hand implored Charlie Crist, seated at a table scattered with a tray of cut-up Cuban sandwiches and cups of café con leche. DeSantis needs to be confronted, they beseeched, as the autocratic bully they see him to be, pointing in particular to the recent episode in which DeSantis with an audible edge and an indignant sigh told high school students to remove their “ridiculous” “Covid theater” masks. “I don’t care if you’re the governor, or the president, or the pope,” Bob Henriquez, the Hillsborough County property appraiser, told Crist. To speak to kids that way? “How dare you?” he said. Patrick Manteiga, the publisher of the area newspaper La Gaceta, was blunt. “Kick ass,” he said. “You gotta get tough. You gotta get nasty…

Check out the image in the article…Charlie looks like a “Chester” from central casting.

Ping!

Good luck you turncoat POS!

“ridiculous” “Covid theater”

How dare Ron DeSantis tell the truth?

[Highest Authority]

Don’t trust Chris!

Some article.
I’m sure Crist appreciates the tongue bath from Politico

He should have been wearing a “Che” T-shirt and smoking a big Cuban cigar to complete the pandering image.

DeSantis with an audible edge and an indignant sigh told high school students to remove their “ridiculous” “Covid theater” masks.

“I don’t care if you’re the governor, or the president, or the pope,” Bob Henriquez, the Hillsborough County property appraiser, told Crist. To speak to kids that way? “How dare you?”

I don't know where he grew up, but I got talked to that way by everyone from the Assistant Headmaster, Dean of Students, History Teacher, Lunch Lady and other students.

The “autocratic bully” schtick is getting old. If you don’t like bullies then shut down your own woke elements.

Charlie Cringe.

[Scarlett156]

Reading the Democrat playbook:

Page one, rule one: “Kick ass,” he said. “You gotta get tough. You gotta get nasty…”

*turns page* *the rest of the pages are blank*

This should be considered an in-kind contribution by Pollutico to the Orange Menace. What a creep.

“Chester the Molester”

[rrrod]

Gov. DeSantis is extremely popular. with all except Blue state invaders.

[Vaduz]

A democrat mole to undo all the good DeSantis done.

[Clemenza]

Yep, DeSantis will lose Palm Beach and Broward Counties. My mom is in Palm Beach County and will be voting for Ron but she is way outnumbered in her community.

Be interesting to see how the usually Democrat voting Puerto Rican population in Central Florida goes - look at Osceola and Orange Counties.

[Dr.Deth]

Charlie Crist… I apologize, I forgot you were there. You may go now.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hard to forget that he’s there with that overwhelming smell of coconut oil and astroglide.

[Dr.Deth]

When a Republican turns Democrat, the first question I ask is, “what do they have on him?”

In Chuckie Cheese Pizza’s case, it’s not difficult to figure.

[Does so]

“Charlie Crist… I apologize, I forgot you were there”

I have a t-shirt with Charlie Crist’s logo on it—back when he made sense.

‘Hope I didn’t pay anything for it!
