During an interview on Fusion's America with Jorge Ramos, Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist, D, cited racism and other intolerant views as the reason he left the Republican party.

Crist, who is running for his old office against incumbent Governor Rick Scott, R, said he felt uncomfortable being affiliated with GOP ideals, which he said are perceived as "anti-women, anti-minority, anti-women, anti-gay, anti-education, and anti-environment."

He spoke about racism in the party, calling it "intolerable" and a "big reason" why he left, criticizing Republican's refusal to work together with President Obama.

"I couldn't be consistent with myself and my core beliefs, and stay with a party that was so unfriendly toward the African-American president, I'll just go there," he said. "I was a Republican and I saw the activists and what they were doing, it was intolerable to me."

Ramos challenged Crist's motivations for leaving the GOP, accusing him of switching due to his loss to Marco Rubio when he ran for the Senate in the 2010 Republican primary, but Crist said, "No, I left the Republican Party because the leadership went off the cliff."

"I am liberated as a Democrat, my true soul is able to be seen, and I couldn't be happier about it," he added.

If there’s anyone who deserves a feet-off-the-ground nuclear wedgie, it’s Charlie Crist.

[MaxMax]

Racism, where exactly? So you go into the party that fought against freedom from slavery.
Lying sack of S. You went home to the plantation owners of American, the DemocRAT party.

[yldstrk]

He is a bald faced liar

CHARLIE CRIST SAYS HE LEFT THE GOP AND BECAME DEMOCRAT BECAUSE OF RACISM IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

LOL - right, right. He wasn't even a Republican anymore when he became a Democrat (he was an Independent and had in fact just been on the ballot as one in a major election - the U.S. Senate race) - and when actually did leave the Republican Party it was because he refused to accept the fact that a Hispanic candidate was beating him in the primary and he refused to support his candidacy - the man who beat him in the general election - Marco Rubio.

And perhaps he hasn't noticed - but on the GOP ticket he is opposing for re-election, the incumbent Lt. Governor is a black woman!

[kempster]

The funniest thing I think is that once he gets elected, if he does, he will probably turn on the Democrats.

[samantha]

Sorry,but the lt gov is Cuban American Carlos cantera, latin male.

[Lazamataz]

He’s got so much tan, I can see how he’d be exposed to ‘waycism’.

Oh, yes...I didn't know she had resigned, (and that picture that showed up on a search was of another person that was posted above, apparently.)
But the point remains.

[Albion Wilde]

So he prefers the party of baby killing and pederasty?

[Albion Wilde]

We dislike orange people?

Hell, we tolerate Boehner.

[Kenny Bunk]

None other than The Mombas MF hisell has been working the "Orange" thing in his carefully prepared "humorous" teleprompterings.

This is what is so pathetic about the poor old drunk Boehner. He thinks Obama loves him.

Wrong, Bourbon Breath. Obama and the Left hate your drunken ass. They just be using you. To hurt us. UGOTTAGO.

[griswold3]

The reason folks made fun of Crist is because of his skin color. Come to think of it maybe Boehner and Crist were separated at birth.

[EDINVA]

too funny ... no mention, no irony that he left the GOP when he lost out to a .... wait .... Hispanic.

[eeriegeno]

Geez what a pathetic piece of human debris this a$$hole is! Wishing for him a stern defeat in his next election and an armpit infestation by the fleas from a thousand camels as personal penitence....

[peeps36]

Switching seems to come easy for an unprincipled scumbag like Chuck. Republican to democrat. Nice soft feminine women to rough, hairy ass men.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Most politicians are whores. Crist is a crack whore.

[windsorknot]

Sorry, Charlie. Why did it take so long to switch parties? Now you are where you belong: in the den of fellow thieves, rabble rousers, demagogues, and fascist do-gooders.

Florida’s current lieutenant governor is a Hispanic male. The black female LG, Jennifer Carroll, resigned about a year ago. And that photo does not look like her.

[castlegreyskull]

Her son Nolan Carroll is in the NFL, he plays for the Eagles. He used to play for the Dolphins. He is not bad. He is best known for being the player that was tripped while covering a kickoff by a member of the Jets coaching staff.
