Charlie Crist Draws Fire From RGA on Scott Rothstein

The Republican Governor Association (RGA) is turning up the heat on former Gov. Charlie Crist, the favorite for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination to challenge Gov. Rick Scott despite spending most of his career as a Democrat. The RGA pointed toward the new Democrats ties with convicted fraudster Scott Rothstein who said last week that Crist was assigning judgeships based on political donations.

Recent statements under oath from Scott Rothstein, a convicted fraudster and former Charlie Crist fundraiser, about his quid pro quo relationship with Charlie during his time as governor, are outrageous, said Gail Gitcho, a spokeswoman for the RGA. Florida voters deserve better and should not be saddled with a governor who traded favors and appointments for campaign donations. The only people Charlie should have been working for are the people of Florida, not his felonious friends.
