Crist Stands for Freedom, Not DeSantis?
Republicans are calling Charlie Crist’s latest campaign pitch to voters a desperate political stunt to try to stave off a huge election night loss to Gov. Ron DeSantis. Crist continues to assert that he stands for Florida being “free” and DeSantis. Crist incredulously stated that when his governor (again) he will protect abortion. Taking a trip down memory lane, we all remember how staunch of a supporter of “Life” Crist was when he was the Republican Governor of Florida back in 2009.
So, what are voters to believe?
Crist has recently said that he would impose mandatory mask mandates if needed.
The latest polls say it all. READ MORE

Marc Caputo-“There, on camera, was a man with a hammer, breaking a glass panel and entering the speaker’s home”
So now there’s apparently video evidence that refutes the conspiracy theory that the intruder didn’t break the glass from the outside to gain entry
