The Washington Post reports:
A spokeswoman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) this week registered as a foreign agent of a former president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, belatedly detailing work she performed for the politician between 2018 and 2020.
The spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, made the disclosure following contact from the Justice Department, according to her attorney, Michael Sherwin. She began her work in 2018 as a volunteer in the post-Soviet country, Sherwin said, and was ultimately paid $25,000 over the course of two years.
“Her efforts included writing op-eds, reaching out to supporters and officials, and advocating on his behalf in Georgia and in the United States,” Sherwin said.

Twitter users will know Pushaw primarily as a shitposting troll who spends her day ridiculing critics and amplifying anti-LGBTQ activists.

Neo-nazis, carrying banners with links to their neo-Nazi website, rallied in Orlando this weekend. Many Floridians wondered where Gov. Ron DeSantis was to condemn it. This was the response from the governor’s spokeswoman. pic.twitter.com/N7xJJKw3bT
