FL GOP Screams About Crist’s “Extremist’ Running Mate

From the Republican Party of Florida:

Charlie Crist’s choice for his running mate is another slap in the face to Florida parents. It confirms how out of touch Crist is with Florida families by picking an extremist like Karla Mats that supported school closures, forced masking and, if given the opportunity, would allow the indoctrination of Florida students.

Mats must be puzzled that Charlie chose her given that she, as president of the Miami-Dade teachers union, delivered a big defeat to Democrats right in her own backyard of Miami-Dade County, where candidates endorsed by Governor DeSantis flipped the school board to prioritize students and parents.

Floridians, especially parents, will give Charlie and his activist running mate a well-deserved boot out the door come November.

Actual extremists, including LibsOfTikTok and Christopher Rufo, are already busy on Twitter posting attacks on Crist’s selection.

The other day Charlie Crist said he’s running on the battlefield of love and DeSantis on the battlefield of hate. So choosing the President of the United Teachers of Dade union as his running mate is perfection.

Please meet Karla Hernandez-Mats. She is really someone special. pic.twitter.com/YL8jUbRN70
