This July, Florida Rep. Alan Grayson thrilled Republicans by announcing that he’d be running for the Senate seat left vacant by Sen. Marco Rubio’s run for president. Roll Call was frankly very kind when it described Grayson as “a liberal firebrand whose outspokenness irks members of his own party.” Most recently, Grayson has been threatening to go to court to keep Canadian-born Sen. Ted Cruz from running for president.
It looks like Grayson and his top campaign staff will be parting ways, though.

@PoliticoKevin @lachlan why? Did they just Google @AlanGrayson and figure out what a scum bag he is?

@PoliticoKevin @AlanGrayson well, at least he didn't beat them up and sweat on them like he did to his wife. #FUGrayson
