Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) formally announced his gubernatorial challenge against Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom many describe as a rising star in the Republican Party, repeating several falsehoods in his announcement video, accusing the Republican governor of “stripping away” voting rights and failing to properly prioritize seniors during the initial introduction of vaccines in the Sunshine State.
Crist, a Republican-turned-Democrat who served as Florida’s governor from 2009-2011 and unsuccessfully challenged Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) in the gubernatorial race in 2014, released his announcement video on Tuesday, touting his accomplishments during his tenure, claiming to have protected the everglades, cut property taxes for seniors, lowered the cost of prescription jobs, and restored voting rights for Floridians “who did their time.” His ad even features former President Barack Obama thanking him for his work.
