'Your worst tweet ever': Florida GOP compares LeBron James to … Charlie Crist?

Talking Points Memo notes that the Florida Republican Party wasted no time capitalizing on LeBron James’ decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers after four years with the Miami Heat, issuing the following tweet.

Who knew @CharlieCrist and @KingJames would have so much in common? http://t.co/22Bdi5vu6B #sayfie #LeBron pic.twitter.com/8HsnhvPP62

Maybe the Florida GOP should have wasted a little bit of time discussing if the comparison really helped its cause. It is possible to strike while the iron’s too hot.

@FloridaGOP Seriously? Your worst tweet ever.

@KingJames Thank you for 4 great years & 2 rings. #MiamiHeat

@FloridaGOP @CharlieCrist @KingJames At least LeBron brought Championships. And drive to be the best. And he went TO somewhere. Didn't run.

@FloridaGOP LeBron came to Florida under Crist, left under Scott. Not your best effort.
