Charlie Crist's Guns

Taking a one-day break from her relentless attacks against Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Charlie Crist, AG Commissioner Nikki Fried Spent the last day of May doing what all candidates should have been doing— pressing supporters to donate cash to their campaigns.

Fried is in a bit of a pickle considering that he trails Crist in the polls, but with three months to go in the 2022 midterm primary race, it is too early to call this race for Crist.

Fried has shown that she has what it takes to carry on, and her constant reminding that Crist used to be a Republican and adhered to a tough gun and anti-abortion ideology, could help her down the stretch, but only if she can raise the money she needs to disseminate her message.

David Hogg Gets Called out for Lying

The one promising young activist has tried to make a name for himself since the Parkland school mass shooting in February 2014.

His cry for a ban on guns has become stale.

Now the Hogg appears to have overstepped by lying about having been able to influence gun legislation in Florida that then-Gov. Rick Scott signed it into law.

Parents of several victims called out Hogg, calling him a “charlatan” who didn’t play a role in the process.

Ouch. READ MORE
