The Case of the Deleted Sympathizing Tweet About Fidel Castro

Some will say that Charlie Crist’s pick for Lt. Governor was ill-advised, while some will say it was a really dumb political move to tap a Progressive who tweeted a sympathetic pro-Castro tweet several years ago, and posed for a picture with a child molester.

But that’s exactly what Crist did when he named Karl Hernandez-Mats as his running mate.

Now, that infamous tweet about Fidel Castro has been deleted.

Meanwhile, Florida Democrats have yet to criticize, or even question Hernandez-Marts’s questionable sympathizes. READ MORE

Republicans Scrubbing Pro-Life Position?

Florida Democrats like Rep. Anna Eskamani are accusing Republicans of sanitizing their campaign websites from any anti-Abortion mention.

“I couldn’t help but wonder, how many Republican politicians will scrub their websites to hide from their abortion banning position,” stated Rep. Eskamani.

Rep. Nick DiCeglie, who is running for the State Senate, appears to be the first Republican to be accused of deleting hi “extremist pro-life views” from his website.

According to Rep. DiCeglie’s website, any mention of a pro-life position either did not exist or was taken down, as Democrats claim.

Democrats are hanging their hats on abortion being the winning issue for them this election cycle.

Rep. Val Demings, who is running for the U.S. Senate against Senator Marco Rubio, recently said that she was running on the abortion issue and that the current state of inflation needed to be tucked away from the political discourse.

"What we're seeing with the price of goods and services, gas at the pump, of course, people are feeling that every day, but lets kind of tuck this away," said Rep. Demings. READ MORE

Shevrin “Shev” Jones-When we ORGANIZE, WE WIN!! I was proud to stand w/ members of @SoFloAFLCIO, @MayorDaniella, @CommishEileen & other local leaders on this Labor Day, to amplify the message that unions are the bedrock of a just economy. Freedom includes the RIGHT to organize & unionize! #LaborDay

Karla Hernández-DeSantis is removing elected officials and arresting voters. These abuses of power are familiar to us who have seen what happens in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Like Castro, Ron is moving our state closer to authoritarian rule. Charlie and I will stop this wannabe dictator.

Charlie Crist-The reason why DeSantis remains silent on whether he’ll ban abortion is because his stance is unpopular. Since he’s got no spine, I’ll say it for him: DeSantis WILL ban your right to reproductive freedom.

That’s exactly why I plan to defeat him this November.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz-I joined @CharlieCrist and @KarlaforFlorida to talk to Venezuelan leaders about critical community issues. They understand why DeSantis is wrong for Florida and why a Gov. Crist will work for all Floridians.

Ron DeSantis-This Labor Day, I am glad Florida protected the right of all Floridians to earn a living when many other states did not.

Florida has more people employed than prior to the pandemic!
