Charlie Crist says he's 'open' to mask mandate, setting up COVID as key issue in race against DeSantis

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."

Does Charlie Crist know that he is running in FL not NJ or NY?

With 'masks for all' as a campaign slogan in FL he won't crack 40%.

Ol' shape-changing Charlie is miscalculating the wind direction on this one.

Never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake.

Charlie Crist, D-Fla., telling attendees at a campaign event in Wilton Manors, Florida,

Good ol’ Wilton Manors. I thought all of the old homosexuals had died off by now.

Well Crist definitely should have felt right at home in Wilton Manors.
