A video obtained by Fox News Digital shows former Florida governor and current Congressman Charlie Crist, D-Fla., telling attendees at a campaign event in Wilton Manors, Florida, that if he were elected, he would be open to a statewide mask mandate.
An event attendee asked, "Congressman, thank you for coming. You mentioned the pandemic. Hopefully it is behind us. But as Florida’s governor, would you be open to mandating or regulating masks?"
"I would be open to doing what scientists advise — not political scientists," Crist responded. "Yes. I just read an article this morning. I'm glad you brought it up. So I'm going to the airport right after this. I’m going to Orlando, and I'm going to wear a mask on the plane. You don't have to anymore, but I'm going to because Florida is experiencing an uptick that began this week. And it's not even the Omicron B2. It’s a new variant."
Florida GOP Vice Chairman Christian Ziegler told Fox News Digital, "Charlie Crist being ‘open’ to imposing mask mandates is one of the most out-of-touch positions Crist has ever taken, which is really saying something."

Masks are so 2021.
I heard that if you put a sock in your mouth,
and also use a mask that your foot cannot be inserted.
Suntan Charlie should go swimming off of I-75.
Tan man’s paperboy is running months behind.
Is that smart in Florida?
So, Crist wants to throw in the towel before the campaign begins?
Morgan & Morgan won’t be happy to hear that.
Winning issue, like prohibition.
The political class of America are about to go the way of the French aristocracy.
Now there’s a winning platform.
Well, hes reading the tea leaves well, isnt he?
Hah! Robespierre cosplay time!
I live in Florida but work all over the place in my job as an airline pilot. Florida has been about the only sane place on the planet over the last two years of this BS. The people of Florida have been unharassed and we like it that way. If Crist thinks threating a mask mandate is a winning campaign theme then he’s an idiot. He doesn’t have a prayer against DeSantis anyway, but my God is he stupid if he thinks Floridians want to endure the mask idiocy that others have had to put up with.
Crist is exactly what fail looks like.
FAIL = Charlie Crist.
Charlie Cringe.
That’s a WINNING plank in the platform. Go for it, Crist!
Yeah, except Robespierre instituted a national terror and killed thousands of people before screaming like a bitch on his way to the guillotine.
Add lockdowns for a twofer.
