If these clips of Gov. DeSantis owning Charlie Crist at the Florida debate don’t end the Dem’s chances nothing will – twitchy.com
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and candidate Charlie Crist had a debate Monday night, and apparently the Democrat candidate brought in some astroturf.
Crist’s obnoxious, yelling, and shouting “supporters” are almost assuredly fake/astroturfed. I wouldn’t be even remotely surprised to learn later this week that the Crist campaign paid to bus them in.

Definitely organized. I asked a lady in the bathroom where she got her pink Crist shirt. She froze and said “where we all met up” https://t.co/aP9yDrSjwH

It is pretty astounding that Florida Democrats couldn’t get a savvier gubernatorial nominee than a washed-up ex-Republican who has flip-flopped on every issue under the sun and bears a striking resemblance to a human corpse.

Karol Markowicz was there and the scene outside ahead of the debate was something else:

Let’s get right to the zinger of the night, courtesy of Crist’s claims that DeSantis is just using his office as a stepping stone for 2024:
.@GovRonDeSantis on whether or not he’s running for president in 2024:
“I know that Charlie is interested in talking about 2024 and Joe Biden. But I just want to make things very, very clear, the only worn-out, old donkey I’m looking to put out to pasture is Charlie Crist.” pic.twitter.com/Hl26JtT7TJ

D’OH! Crist should just drop out now, right?
Then there was Crist’s failed attempt to portray DeSantis as the school closure cheerleader:

Charlie Crist attempts to paint Gov. Ron DeSantis as “the shutdown guy” immediately after DeSantis talks about how he rejected Crist’s calls to shut the state down. pic.twitter.com/0XoEbgq4Pg

Another OOF for the ages:
“Do you know how many days [Charlie Crist] showed up to work in Washington, DC this year? 14 days. Imagine that deal for you. You show up 14 days and make over 100 grand? That’s the type of effort this guy puts in.”

Here are a couple more bonus clips from the debate:
DeSantis destroys Crist for supporting gender surgeries for minors:
“If you’re a 15 year old, you can’t get a tattoo in the state of Florida. Yet we’re saying you can get a double mastectomy?” pic.twitter.com/9CRtRnfxo8

Wrecked, indeed.
And does Crist want to talk about divisiveness?
Hard to see Crist going back to the “Ron is a divider” well after this response pic.twitter.com/BLRUu0IuM9

I knew Crist wasn’t serious about competing in this election as soon as he made the statement that he doesn’t want the support of anyone who supported DeSantis and that they had hate in their hearts. https://t.co/97Hys5P4Nm
