Charlie Crist, the Democrat candidate for Florida Governor, just announced that his running mate will be Karla Mats. Interestingly, her nickname has been “Karla Marx” due her public statement regarding Fidel Castro. It’s a weird position to take in a location to which people came to escape the squalor and depravity of communist Cuba under Castro.
Her public praise of a communist dictator isn’t all she has going for her. She’s also the President of a teacher’s union, the United Teachers of Dade, which covered up for and protected a serial sexual predator for more than a decade. It was such a huge deal that back in 2019, when the media was still occasionally publishing real journalism and not just partisan propaganda, the Miami Herald ran a piece about how it’s possible for a teacher to face “four criminal sexual assault cases and allegations of sexual misconduct made by nine female students” in his 15 years of teaching, and still be a teacher. After reviewing more than 400 pages of relevant documents, the Miami Herald said,
“Their contents raised questions about how two powerful institutions — the United Teachers of Dade (UTD) and Miami-Dade County Public Schools — dealt with 12 years of allegations against the veteran educator. While his students filed complaint after complaint against him, Nibbs rose into the teacher’s union’s inner circle. He spent eight years as a building steward and was a forceful advocate for the current UTD leadership. He campaigned with that group three years ago — while under investigation for groping a fellow teacher an allegation found to be unsubstantiated.”
The recent Crist / Hochul comments are only feasible if the vote is rigged in their favor. Think about it.
Charlie Crist is grilling Johnsonville Brats and wants desperately to lose the election!
I guess deep down he must still really be a Republican.
The differences between Ron DeSantis and Charlie Crist could not be more clear.
First, Hochul doesn’t need to rig the vote. As to Crist, when I hear hoofbeats I first think horses, not zebras. The electorate has shifted sharply in favor of the GOP. You have the recent video of Crist with his knee pads on for Biden. You have the selection of this vermin for his running mate: The strategy is clear: they hope GOP voters are complacent and stay home because they think the election is a done deal, and they hope to supercharge the dwindling leftist base. Or they’re stupid. Either theory is more plausible than the one you propose because the GOP FL government is going to be watching this election like hawks. If your theory was correct, Crist would tack to the center so that the election upset could be covered by the narrative that Floridians backed a “moderate” instead of the “hard right.”
Looks like a bad choice...
And remember, that woman is more honest and more conservative than Charlie.
Crist is speaking to national political efforts, not their respective state. Same with Hochul and Newsome. Long game stuff.
"Mainstream"
I am guessing one great benefit for Charlie in his choice, the United Teachers of Dade (UTD) is part of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Thus with this choice, Charlie gets megabucks for his campaign and lots of volunteers from union members.
Listen to ABBA singing “Money, Money, Money”!
DeSantis fired school board members in Broward, not Dade..
Charlie is the appointed dem to go and lose to DeSantis.
For his efforts he will be given a cush job by semantic Joe
Why am I not surprised in the least?
