SATELLITE BEACH — U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist took his campaign for Florida governor across the state Saturday for meet-and-greet events, stopping in Tampa, Polk County, and Kissimmee before coming to Brevard County in the evening.

The former Republican governor of Florida and three-term Democratic member of Congress is running as a Democrat to return to the governor's office. He spoke Saturday evening at Brevard County school board member Jennifer Jenkins' home in Satellite Beach, sharing some of his campaign goals and taking a handful of questions from the gathering of about 80 community members.

"I'm enjoying fighting for you. I'm trying to bring the sunshine back to the Sunshine State, because it's been dark under this clown," he said, referring to GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Calling him "Rotten Ron," Crist criticized DeSantis for his handling of environmental concerns, education and reproductive issues.

1. Good to see Democrats dish it right back.

So glad Charlie Crist saw the light as well.

2. I live in Florida.

I don't think desantis will be legitimately reelected governor. Nobody has anything positive to say about him. Just sayin'.

3. DeSantis has been savaged repeatedly in newspaper editorials across Florida for his demagoguery

and authoritarianism. He's accomplished nothing.

4. Those 300 new Floridians a day coming to Florida better vote democratic

5. They better hurry up n register

6. Crist is catching it.

I don’t hold out a lot of hope for him. He’s seen as an opportunist who will join whatever party and say whatever needs to be said to get elected. And then there’s Fried who was the only Democratic Party candidate that held a major office in the DeSantis administration, and a female, and she’s potentially getting shoved aside for Crist. And that’s exactly how many women are viewing it; that a woman in the Democratic Party is second class to an ex-Republican.

This will be a major uphill battle.
