Here at Twitchy, when we’ve discussed what Ron DeSantis is up against in the Florida gubernatorial election, we’ve focused mainly on Democrat Nikki Fried. But it’s important to keep in mind that she’s not the only Democrat who thinks they’ve got what it takes to take down DeSantis.
Remember Charlie Crist? Yeah, he may be down — way, way, way down — but he’s not ready to be out just yet. He still thinks he’s got a shot at victory, bless his heart. And while nothing he’s said or done yet has really managed to move the needle, he’s gonna keep giving it the ol’ college try.
Which, at least today, means responding to Ron DeSantis signing a bill that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Take it away, Charlie!
DeSantis has signed into law an unconstitutional attack on women that strips away their reproductive freedom.
Women should make decisions about their own bodies, not governors. I'd veto this bill and any attempt to restrict the right to choose. Full stop.

Are women suddenly not free to reproduce under this new law? Also, we’re not quite sure what’s unconstitutional about making it more difficult to kill an innocent person, but then, we can’t remember the last time Charlie Crist said something that made sense. Maybe it was the last time Charlie Crist said he was pro-life?

You said you were pro life?

“Charlie Crist is pro-life.” And George likes his chicken spicy.
"Pro-life" Republican, turned '???' independent, turned "I support late-term abortion-on-demand" Democrat/career politician has thoughts!

Charlie should try keeping his thoughts to himself for a change. At this point, it could only help him.
He proves it again. Crist is the single most flexible politician I've ever seen. No conviction is too strong that he won't reverse himself. https://t.co/Bbf24LYIij

Anything for a vote. Literally anything.
You’d promise to spoon with the homeless to keep them warm if you thought it would get you votes.
