Democrats hate free speech.

They're becoming more and more open about it.

Ah, a shame. Guess Gillum could ask the FBI confirm he is not being directly or indirectly investigated? And the flights, did he take them or not? Seems beyond these, the rest is free speech conjecture and fair game.

Sounds like the ads are kinda sorta truthful, and kinda sorta not.

Depending on your perspective.

BTW, being advised that the FBI is not investigating you doesn’t mean they are not.

My favorite is the new one that says Gillum is not only running for Governor, he’s running from the FBI! And its true! Haha.

The Dems said because Trump was under investigation he couldn’t nominate to SCOTUS, so I guess Gillum can’t run for office until this dark cloud is cleared.

“In the ad, a voice states that “Andrew Gillum is running for Governor and also from the FBI” combined with the text “Andrew Gillum FBI Investigation.” The Gillum camp said this is not true. While the FBI is investigating key players in Tallahassee’s city government, it has been widely reported that Gillum has been advised by the FBI that he is not the subject of an investigation.”

“it has been widely reported” is the key there....reported by media sympathetic to gillum no doubt, it doesn’t say the FBI isn’t investigating him.

What De Santis is including in these messages may be considered “malicious”, in that it does great harm to the reputation of Andrew Gillum, but it is not false. Not even fake.

If anything, De Santis is pulling his punches. Andrew Gillum is a thug who would probably do well on the Chicago City Council, but not likely to be beneficial to Florida.

All Desantis is doing is running clips of local television stations’ reports of how Gillum is being investigated. He should “demand” the tv stations lie for him and say he isn’t being investigated.

Gillum's corruption is massive and the media is ignoring it. One paper, however, is trying their best to expose him.

Andrew Gillum’s Campaign Headquarters Home to Solar Business Involved with FBI Investigation

His brothers are caught up in this as well. The entire family is using his position to fill their pockets.
