As Republicans count on voters punishing Democrats this fall, Charlie Crist says there’s a place Florida voters can direct their anger. A new ad suggests they hold GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis to account.
“Fed Up,” a new statewide ad from the Democratic nominee, lays into the incumbent administration for gas and food price hikes. Most of all, it attacks DeSantis for waging culture wars instead of solving problems.
“If you’re fed up every time you fill up, or ticked off every time you pick up groceries,” Crist says, “well maybe it’s time you had a Governor focused on you.”
That’s not what Floridians have now, Crist says. They have a Governor “dividing Florida.”
The ad hits through a series of controversial actions by the Governor. Crist accuses him of “bullying school children” as footage plays of an infamous press conference where DeSantis scolded teenagers for wearing N95 masks.
It then seizes on a major controversy Democrats hope energized their own base: abortion.
Crist in the ad criticizes DeSantis for “passing an abortion ban with no exception for rape or incest.”
That’s a reference to a Florida law signed by DeSantis this year that prohibits abortions 15 weeks into a pregnancy. The law passed shortly before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Meanwhile, Crist said, the Governor has done “nothing to lower costs for a year.”
The 30-second spot quickly pivots to Crist’s own plan for Florida. He promises to veto “any bill that threatens a woman’s right to choose.”
He also said he will force property insurance companies to lower rates, a subject DeSantis took criticism for failing to address before calling lawmakers back to a Special Session this year.
Crist also promised to “cut the gas tax.” While DeSantis did sign an October gas tax holiday, he hasn’t touched the permanent rate.
“DeSantis won’t do it,” Crist said of the tax, “but I will.”
Crist’s campaign said the ad will run in major media markets across Florida.

More lies, more diversions, more distractions and the ridiculous blame the Gov for everything.
Factcheck will denounce these lies. People know that food costs are not a state cost. Gas tax was cut and is being applied, just more lies from Chameleon crisp. Taxes on sales and products have been cut for products.
This is the burned omelette add rolled out by a desperate buffoon candidate, so 90’s. Chameleon is an embarrassment, that lies regularly.
Get rid of this lying chameleon once and for all.

Immediately as soon as I’ve misplaced my preceding position, I became very distressed and luckily I actually have observed this pleasant on line possibility that’s why I should make heaps (am-231) staying at home.

Trump inherited Obama’s economy and then sat on his balls and cheered while it overheated…now we have Trumpflation. Stock market doesn’t make up for the tax bill that shoveled even more money to the super rich. The stock market is where money goes as soon as it’s printed.. after it ends up in the hands of the rich a few seconds later. 1950’s tax rates ensured that money kept flowing in a circle instead of being horded thus having to print more. Job market is fine. You people don’t know what in the hell you are talking about and vote against the intrests of yourselves and the nation…in favor of billionaires like Trump. The low prices during Trump were the result of low demand brought on by coronavirus. You people are whacked out stupid.

THERE ARE TWO JOBS FOR EVERY ONE PERSON! That’s what Scott and the Republicans are crying about!
Inflation=RECORD CORPORATE PROFITS! RECORD PROFIT MARGINS!!!
Ukraine: You don’t know what Trump’s friend Putin would have done with Trump in the White House. You don’t know what the classified documents that Trump stole contained that might have led Putin to feel it was safe to invade Ukraine. You don’t even know if the invasion was some kind of blackmail threat.
Southern border: Asylum seekers kept out illegally by Trump arrived back at the border when he was evicted. Migrants escaping conditions caused by Republican/Trump’s policies that are crushing their countries’ economies and people.
401k: If you’re not near retirement it’s not a problem. Stocks will always go up, go down, go up. If you are near–or in– retirement you shouldn’t be fully invested in stocks! And, in case you don’t know, 401k is the rich’s scam to get poor people cheering about their puny little stock holdings going up a tiny bit—-so that the poor don’t complain/revolt about all the billions being shoveled to the wealthy. WOW! You have a stake in the stock market! YAY!!!
And, again, THERE ARE TWO JOBS FOR EVERY WORKER!!! Time for workers to stop falling for “jobs, jobs, jobs!”

While I don’t usually agree with the GOP trolls on this site, DeSantis, for all his faults, doesn’t have anything to do with gas and food prices. Neither does Biden, for that matter. The most valid criticism of DeSantis is his pugnacious culture war campaigns that seem to go out of his way to alienate some voters. Crist should stick to that. There’s ample material.

I disagree with you about any POTUS. This POTUS hAs discouraged oil carbon production, cut permitting and tightened regs, so as to discourage production. It’s not a discussion, it’s a fact!!
Because of the ridiculous comedy show yesterday at WH, how out of touch can you be. All Repub. should use that in 30 second spots across country in US House, Senate and Govs races.
Biden and the Dems are so out of touch with economic reality.
8.3% inflation, wages down 2 yrs in row, life expectancy under Biden down, crime raging, education collapsing cause of weingarten, Matz, and NEA.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Joe Dementia is the cause of high fuel prices. His first move was destroying American energy independence. Keystone Pipeline ring as bell? Next, he made drilling leases much harder to come by, creating a disincentive to explore for energy sources. Don’t forget releasing oil from the strategic reserves and selling a good portion of it to China.
Now we are once again at the mercy of OPEC. So Joe grovels to Saudi Arabia and begs them to increase production.
Basic economics 101; increased demand, decreased production, prices increase.
This is all joey’s fault.

Typical leftist reply. If you can’t support your position with facts, just attack the messenger. It is so much easier to spew hate and venom, then actually thinking through a well spoken rebuttal.
Maybe “Joe” should read up on his current events of the past 2 years, and turn off CNN.

Good riddance to Keystone Pipeline! Keep earth’s dirtiest fuel in the ground where it belongs. Keystone XL was a tar sands pipeline THROUGH the United States, not to it. It was going to the international market, anyway.
For people who were concerned about jobs, it was uncovered that the project would require fewer than 2,000 two-year construction jobs and that the number of full-time, permanent jobs would hover around 35 after construction. —NRDC
Most importantly, the majority of people did not want the Keystone Pipeline. It would have destroyed water, farmland, habitat. People have a right to a livable planet. It’s amazing that some people think their right to profit, or to cheap gas, is more important than everyone else’s rights!
For anyone concerned about inadequate leases, there are 9,000 leases available for drilling. Biden is not telling the oil companies–already receiving RECORD PROFITS– to refuse to drill. Oil companies report that they are waiting for shareholders to decide that expected profits will be worth the investment needed to drill.
marylou
September 15, 2022 at 1:01 pm
9,000 unused leases waiting for shareholders to decide when the potential profit is worth the drilling investment costs. People don’t want KXL–which would pipe oil THROUGH, not to the US— to destroy water, farmland, habitat. The majority of people want a livable planet. No one owes corporations RECORD PROFITS, or other people cheap gas.

Meanwhile, America’s Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign is flush with cash. Florida’s voters are happy to fund the Governors’ campaign because they like what Governor DeSantis has delivered.

Tom is all about personal attacks and lying. Tom will never allow truthful facts get in the way of his continuous fake news story line! Tom makes stuff up as he types.
