| Description | The campaign for the Democratic contender running against Charlie Crist for the open U.S. Senate seat in Florida is saying the Independent candidate’s change in positions on LGBT issues is “too little, too late.”
In a statement provided to the Blade on Monday, the campaign for Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek hammered Crist and said he’s making a “total flip” on LGBT issues. The Meek campaign accused Crist, the current governor of Florida, of being willing to say anything to win election as a senator.
“Can anyone believe anything Charlie Crist says anymore?,” asked Abe Dyk, Kendrick Meek’s campaign manager. “It’s obvious Charlie Crist is willing to say anything. The only thing Charlie Crist says today that you can believe tomorrow is that he wants to be elected. The only thing we know about Charlie Crist’s track record is that he is a lifelong conservative Republican who has fought against every Democratic value. The governor’s charade trying to hide his lifelong conservative record just to get elected is an insult to every Floridian.”
On Sunday, the news website Raw Story published a leaked document outlining Crist’s support for an array of pro-LGBT bills pending before Congress, including repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. The article reports Crist intends to make these positions officially public as early as this week. |
