Charlie Crist (Him/He)

Charlie Crist is arguably the best retail politician in Florida history. Well, we think so.

But while Charlie is liked by many Floridians, including Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, is hard not to notice how the very same people that hated on him just 10 years ago, have not embraced him.

It’s truly bizarre.

Crist was an unquestionable pro-lifer, pro-gun advocate, and Republican until he was about to lose his 2010 Senate race to now-Senator Marco Rubio.

Back then, he was MAGA before MAGA was even a political term.

Now, Charlie is the Progressives Progressive.

He is pro-choice, anti-gun, and is being supported by the extreme Left base of the Democratic Party—the same group that campaigned against him for being the embodiment of what they stand against.

Crist has taken up all of the Progressive Democratic messaging and positions. All that’s left is for him to adopt pronouns.
