Florida Dodged a Bullet: Now We Know Why a Dem FL Gubernatorial Candidate Was In a Hotel Room with Drugs and a Reported Gay Escort

Will he run again? Is this the start of his comeback? These are questions that will be answered in due time. Former Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum lost a nail-biter race to Gov. Ron DeSantis. It was a punch to the gut to Democrats in the state that pretty much forced them to reconsider if the state was indeed trending blue.

The political environment for Democrats during the 2018 elections was excellent and they couldn’t take back the governor’s mansion? Furthermore, term-limited GOP Governor Rick Scott ran for Senate and beat incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson.

Time passes and then we hear that Gillum was found insanely drunk in a hotel room last March. Gay escorts were reportedly in the room, along with bags suspected of containing crystal meth. It was a mess. So, what do you do when this happens in politics? You go to rehab.

If what the report says is true, Andrew Gillum has come out as Florida Man. https://t.co/B0zVF9pknu— Siraj Hashmi (@SirajAHashmi) March 13, 2020

In July, he said that he underestimated how losing to DeSantis would impact his life (via Miami Herald):

Former Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum made his first public remarks on Monday since entering rehab in March, saying he battled depression and alcohol addiction after losing the 2018 race to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

In an 11-minute Instagram video, Gillum apologized to supporters for his actions and said he suffered from depression for years.

“I totally underestimated the impact that losing the race for governor had on my life,” Gillum said. “I didn’t want to talk emotionally or really deeply about what happened in the race for governor because it was a constant reminder of failure and my own personal failures. It was a reminder that I let so many people down. All the things I wanted to suppress and numb and forget about, that depression around what I was experiencing there became far too much for me to keep down.”

And now, he’s come out as bisexual.

Words never shared publicly until this moment #TamronHallShow “I identify as bisexual”. - @AndrewGillum— Tamron Hall (@tamronhall) September 14, 2020

“So many people just don’t understand bisexuality. Bisexuality is just something different. I just believe that love and sexuality exist on a spectrum. All I care about is what’s between us and what agreement we make.”

— R. Jai Gillum, Andrew Gillum’s wife, told @tamronhall.— Zach Stafford (@ZachStafford) September 14, 2020

On the season 2 premiere of the 'Tamron Hall Show', Andrew Gillum and his wife addressed the controversy of when he was found unresponsive in a hotel room and entered rehab 6 months ago.

We applaud @AndrewGillum for living his truth out loud. https://t.co/TMXvPkc3yM— theGrio.com (@theGrio) September 14, 2020

So, that explains the male companion, I guess. I don’t really care what Mr. Gillum does on his own time, but since I’m cynical as hell—you don’t do what he’s done unless he wants to run again, right? You need to go through the motions—and he’s done that. He’s cleaned himself up. And now he’s positioning himself for a comeback. Time will tell, but I wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if he runs again.

Rehab doesn’t rehab.

SO glad I left FL.

Obummer could have made the same depraved fag remarks if he had lost to juan. Im sure he’s had the same ‘experiences’. Bleck

RE: SO glad I left FL.

To where?

[pepsionice]

Basically, the guy just said he’s a plain old sex addict, and will do it with men or women...it doesn’t matter. He can’t be a one-man man or a one-woman man. A drink or two...a bit of meth, and he launches into Captain Super-Duper.

I wouldn’t count on much of a political recovery. I’d probably go and work on my real estate license, or move to California to become a male escort.

I have a feeling that this is not the first time he’s done this, just the first time he got caught...............

[cdcdawg]

Just responding to the headline, I’m going to say he was in a hotel room with drugs and a gay prostitute because he’s a gay drug user. Occam’s Razor and all that.

Then again, I got banned from the Washington Post’s comment section years ago for suggesting that lesbians might be overweight because they eat too much. Occam can get you into trouble.

And what are we going to find out about Hiden Biden in a couple of months?

Romans 1

26For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

I hear Gillum is on Joe Biden’s list of Cabinet appointees.

Joe wants Gillum to be seated as Secretary of Born Losers.

[pepsi_junkie]

When a man is caught in a hotel room with drugs and a gay prostitute we don’t need to wait for a statement from him to know why he was there.

[shotgun]

So I guess he was sucked into it...

Wonder when was the last time Andrew bedded you down, sweetheart? ....cackle.

[Rummyfan]

I understand it. It means you are a fag, Jim.

It means you'll stick your d**k in anything. Even an umbrella stand if one is handy.

Further, weren't there allegations of corruption engraft against Gillum from his term(s) as mayor of Tallahassee? This guy is just a total mess and Florida dodged a big bullet by electing DeSantis.
