RPOF Criticizes Charlie Crist for Flip-Flopping on In-State Tuition

The Republican Party of Florida is going after former Gov. Charlie Crist over changing his mind on offering in-state tuition rates for the children of undocumented immigrants.

In 2006, Crist praised state lawmakers for rejecting a bill to offer in-state tuition rates to all Florida students. Now, running as a Democrat, Crist has switched his position on the issue and now supports legislation offering in-state tuition rates for Dreamers.

Crist appeared at the Tallahassee Tiger Bay Club Wednesday and called on state lawmakers to pass the immigrant in-state tuition bill.

Charlies extraordinary lack of self-awareness is something for the record books," said RPOF Chairman Lenny Curry. "He has a world-class knack for distorting the truth, running away from his record and saying whatever is convenient for his own personal benefit. He opposed in-state tuition while he was running for governor.
