More @AndrewGillum corruption: Gillum using airport parking perks for campaign travel, using his city airport parking pass 96 times — almost twice a week. You couldn't pay for parking with your Soros money? @mattgaetz this is campaign fraud! #FLGOV https://t.co/6mkmUL96Bo

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum calls for a "confederation of states," aka a confederacy.

CNN's Chris Cuomo responds: "I like that confederacy of states. I haven't heard that before."

Imagine the media's reaction if GOP candidate Ron DeSantis said this. pic.twitter.com/EnMJQHr5Ox

Actual quote: "Let's build off the success we've had on Gov. Scott. The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases bankrupting the state. That is not going to work." This is why people hate @CNN, @brianstelter https://t.co/BdWBh5DROd

Reality:

DeSantis: "The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state. That is not gonna work. That’s not gonna be good for Florida."

Congressman Ron DeSantis uses the term “Monkey up” referring to Republicans involved in the upcoming Gubernatorial election ; and CNN automatically thinks he’s referring to a Black Man. Who’s the real racists?

Florida deserves a Governor who will keep taxes low and build on our success. @AndrewGillum’s billion-dollar tax increase would hurt businesses & families. I will never raise taxes, and always fight to let Floridians keep more of their hard-earned money. https://t.co/L158Mmv3v5

Republicans blast candidate over the proposal as he points out neighboring states’ rates

TALLAHASSEE — A tax Republican Gov. Rick Scott once campaigned on eliminating has emerged as a big dollar, central clash between the candidates fighting to succeed him.

In a move setting him apart from usually tax-averse Florida candidates, Democrat Andrew Gillum has called for a stunning 40 percent increase in Florida’s corporate income tax — which he wants to use to raise $1 billion more for education, including $50,000 minimum starting salaries for teachers.

The Republican Governors Association has seized on the idea, ridiculing it in a new TV spot as a “disaster for the economy.” Florida’s biggest business groups also have begun sharpening their attacks.

“National headquarters of companies in this state are focused on this like a laser beam,” said Tom Feeney, a former Republican Florida House speaker and president of Associated Industries of Florida, whose members include some of the state’s biggest companies.
