Back in 2019 — after Andrew Gillum lost the gubernatorial election to Ron DeSantis but before the meth overdose incident in Miami — Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz mocked Gillum over his previous scandal of getting caught receiving tickets for the “Hamilton” musical from an undercover FBI agent:

Gillum fired back with Gaetz’s mugshot:

Gaetz should add a follow-up now that Gillum has been indicted on a variety of charges:
I was cleared and have never lost an election. You pleaded guilty, paid a fine, lost an election, and now you live on @JohnMorganESQ’s campaign donations you kept.

And it’s not limited to just campaign finance violations:
The indictment is not limited to campaign finance violations.
