October 9, 2018 | Tom Tillison
With polls suggesting his campaign is slowing with less than a month to go, Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum took to social media to attack President Donald Trump in hopes of adding a spark.
The president was in Florida on Monday, speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Convention in Orlando, and he mentioned the “corruption†probe by the FBI in the city of Tallahassee, where Gillum has been serving as mayor.
Trump, who called Republican candidate Ron DeSantis “a winner,†did not mention Gillum by name in an interview with ABC affiliate WFTV, as he spoke of “tremendous corruption and tremendous crime†in the city.
“If you look at what is going on with corruption in that area, his opponent has a lot of problems and I don’t know if they talk about those problems, but I will,†he said.
“[DeSantis’] opponent runs an area and a city that’s got among the worst statistics in the country and certainly in the state,†Trump added.
“If his [DeSantis’] opponent gets elected, you’ll have Venezuela — Florida will become another Venezuela, and that is not good.â€
