Over the last year, Charlie Crist has spent well over 2 million dollars barnstorming the state of Florida telling anyone who would listen that he “puts the people first – always [has], always will”.
But newly discovered Campaign Finance Reports uncovered exclusively by Shark Tank’s investigative reporter, Special K, shed light on Charlie’s true intentions.It is well known in Florida political circles, which Charlie Crist will say or do just about anything to win an election. First he was a republican, then an independent, and now a democrat.
First he was pro-life, now he is pro-choice. First he was against gay adoption, now he is for it. No politician in Florida history has changed their positions on so many issues so many times.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Florida Senator Marco Rubio famously labeled Charlie an “opportunist”
Yet despite Charlie’s bloviating about being for the people, and doing what’s right for the people of Florida – it seems that he is just another lapdog of the Obama administration.
His campaign infrastructure is almost a mirror image of the Obama 2012 campaign, and Shark Tank has uncovered explosive evidence that calls into question Charlie’s claim of “putting the people first”.Charlie has paid nearly 150,000 to Jim Messina, who was Obama’s Chief of Staff for Operations, and the 2012 Reelection Campaign Manager.
Charlie has paid Messina over 20,000 dollars a month for “Consulting services”. With such a heavy investment in the Obama campaign team, how can Charlie serve two masters? Obama and “the people”?
But the relationship doesn’t end there. Almost all of Obama 2012’s campaign operation has changed gears and have run Charlie’s Florida operation. These include:
Dylan Sumner – Mail Consulting for Obama ‘12 and Charlie ‘14
Steve Schale – Obama ’12 FL State campaign manager, senior advisorJim Margolis – Obama’s FL Media Consultant, also helping Crist
Franco Ripple – Fmr White House Advance man, now with Crist
Jessica Clark – Obama 2012 FL Finance Director, now with Crist
Kevin Cate – Obama Spokesman, now paid $74,000 to help Crist
John Anzalone – Obama pollster, now paid 12,000 to poll for CristWith such heavy financial investments, whose side is Charlie really on: is he with the people or is he beholden to Obama and crony politics?
Oh, and if you missed Senator Marco Rubio clowning and smacking down Crist last week, enjoy the video.
