Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum (D) said late Tuesday that he believes his Republican opponent, former Rep. Ron DeSantis (Fla.), has given “too much harbor to racists and xenophobes and anti-Semites.”

“He’s spoken at conferences with them,” Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, said when questioned by “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah about his opponent being dogged by allegations of racism.

“He authored a book justifying slavery,” Gillum added, apparently referring to DeSantis's 2011 book, “Dreams From Our Founding Fathers: First Principles in the Age of Obama.”

Unlike other Democratic politicians who hide their radicalism Gillum is very upfront of what he is and how he thinks. So if Gillum wins, I will have no sympathy to Floridians who to paraphrase Mencken deserve what is coming good and hard.

I can’t help but wonder two things:

1 - What the heck happened in Florida to make Gillum’s potential election a real possibility?

2 - How bad will Florida be after a couple of years under this stooge?

It's due to years and years of carpetbagger idiots moving here from 'up north'.

They come to Florida to escape high taxes, state income taxes, yet they'll vote for the idiot who espouses both.

Go figure.

Nevertheless, I believe that Scott and DeSantis will WIN.

Gillum is without a doubt THE most Racist black guy i have ever see run for office.

He is obviously a total criminal, as illustrated by constantly calling “Racist”

But im sure all the North Eastern liberals that have destroyed their state and now moving to Florida will no doubt support him 100%

Well, we'll see on Tuesday. He had to go to Trevor Noah for this though. Not a good sign. It seems like the only thing Gillum can do is say racist, racist, racist.

....Democrat Gillum characterized as “racist” questions about some of the illicit perks (bribes?) he enjoyed as mayor.
“I’m sure my white predecessors got as much, or more, lied about it, and got away with it.
That I am somehow uniquely culpable is arebirth of the slavery the white man has imposed on black folks for centuries”........
(hat tip FR satirist John Semmens)

IOW, Gillum felt “entitled” to bribes due to all the injustices previously suffered. As mayor, he cleaned up. Imagine the take he’s expecting if he makes governor.

<><> Mayor Gillum attended Broadway's “Hamilton” Aug 2016; $1000 tickets paid by an undercover agent (posing as a developer needing mayoral favors).

<><> Miller also paid for a “Forward Florida Honors Mayor Andrew Gillum” — a dinner for 40 guests of filet mignon,
twice-baked sweet potatoes, salmon mousse canapes, broccoli and carrots, and southern style strawberry shortcake for $2,800.

<><>The mayor’s bar tab? $1,200 for beer, wine and liquor; 20% service charge and sales tax totaled $5,160.

A LOT OF HAND-WASHING GOING ON
The club owner is a lobbyist looking for mayoral favors so he gave the Gillum party a discount;
that brought the bribery balance paid for by Miller to $4,386.

We paid with our tax money for a third world invasion to get just this result.

The Democrat party here is much as it is in all large coastal states, corrupt, globalized, and elitist. Gillum is no different than Obama. Both are deeply corrupt kleptocrats with an absolute commitment to their personal superiority.

“As long as the left own educ and media America is going down.”

Anti-Semites? Who was it that had Jews forcibly removed from a Florida synagogue - a synagogue - where he was holding a political rally?
