Florida Democratic nominee for governor Charlie Crist’s pandering knows no bounds, as seen in video footage from the campaign trail where he compares himself not only to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but Jesus Christ himself.
The former Republican politician who became an independent before becoming a Democrat has taken to the divisive, hate-filled rhetoric of the left like a fish takes to water, and he was addressing a small group of voters in a video that was shared by the DeSantis campaign. At one point, Crist notes that the colors on his campaign literature are the same as Ukraine’s flag.
“We’re fighting for freedom, too,” he said. “We’re fighting for freedom too. And Zelenskyy, President Zelenskyy, is amazing. Amazing.”
“The courage and the strength and the decency that he shows,” Crist continued. “This is an election about decency, about being decent to one another. About being kind to everyone. It’s called a ‘Florida for all.'”
Keep in mind, this is the same man who recently told those who support popular Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis they have “hate in your heart,” and that he did not want their votes.

Taking a page out of the Biden playbook, Crist proceeded to paint himself as the “uniter” in the race.
“You know we’ve got a divider on the other side, and a uniter over here,” he said, before comparing his GOP opponent to Satan.
“You know some people call him ‘DeSatan,'” Crist said. “Have you heard that?”
After saying he was “trying to be nice,” Crist points to his name on a campaign sign posted on the wall behind him.
Someone on the room called out, “Christ.”
“Think about it — boom,” Crist said, fully endorsing the play on his name.
