Charlie Crist Draws Fire on Obamacare from RPOF

Former Gov. Charlie Crist, the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge Gov. Rick Scott in November despite his many years in the Republican ranks, defended President Barack Obamas federal health-care law on Tuesday night when he appeared on Fox News The OReilly Factor to promote his new memoir. The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) fired back at Crist on Wednesday morning, looking to link him to the law which continues to poll poorly in Florida.

"Charlie Crist is using his book tour to double down on Obamacare, but this new law doubles down on our record deficits while also hurting our economy, said Lenny Curry, the chairman of the RPOF. For a governor who had one of the worst jobs records in the entire country during the recession, it's no surprise that Charlie Crist supports a failed law that will kill millions of jobs in America."
