The third and final gubernatorial debate (minus the fan) between Florida Governor Rick Scott and Charlie Crist took place this past Tuesday in Jacksonville, Florida, where both men had the opportunity to finally tell Floridians where they stood on specific issues.
Debate moderator Jake Tapper framed a question around what a Florida small business owner said about the possibility that minimum wage would be raised to $10.10 an hour.The Orlando-area business owner said that she would have to lay off one of her employees, if the minimum wage was raised, prompting Tapper to ask Crist what he would say to that specific employee, as to “why is it worth it?” to hike up the wage.
How did Charlie, who ‘loves’ President Obama and supports his call to raise the minimum wage, answer the question?

There you have it, Crist thinks its worth it that some Floridians lose their jobs over another one of Obama’s job-killing ideas.
Let’s not forget, Crist was against raising the minimum wage before he supported raising it.Republicans were once again quick to pounce on Crist’s answer. Watch the video.
