RPOF Fires Back at Charlie Crist For Comparing Rick Scott to Al Capone

After lashing out at Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday night, comparing him to Al Capone, former Gov. Charlie Crist is drawing fire from the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF). Despite his many years in Florida politics as a Republican, Crist is now the front-runner for the Democratic nomination to challenge Scott in 2014.

The fact that Charlie Crist is resorting to political attacks that invoke criminals just goes to show how desperate he is to cover up his record of job losses, higher debt and economic failure, said Lenny Curry, the chairman of the RPOF, on Wednesday. Its another opportunistic move from a career politician who has a history of lousy judgment when it comes to his own decisions and the people he surrounds himself with. Floridians cant afford another four years with Charlie Crist in the governors office."
