Former Gov. Charlie Crist is going on the attack with a new video trashing Gov. Rick Scott. Despite spending most of his political career as a Republican, Crist is the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge Scott in November. Florida cant trust Rick Scott is the theme of the new ad which was released on Thursday.

The Scott team fired back by insisting Crist raised tuition during his time in office and pointing to a report from Bay News 9.

Charlie Crist is releasing a new ad this morning, but it was his response to Governor Scott last night in Sarasota that should raise eyebrows, Matt Moon, a spokesman for the Scott campaign, emailed the media on Thursday. In Tampa yesterday, Governor Scott said that we have to reduce the tuition increases that happened while Charlie Crist was governor.

Charlie Crists response? Moon asked before pointing to the Bay News 9 report. As the reporter said, Charlie Crist didnt deny raising tuition for college. Only one conclusion can be made from that: Charlie Crist doesnt care about students.
