DeSantis Slams Gillum as Far-Left Candidate

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is going after his Florida gubernatorial rival Andrew Gillum (D)as the GOP congressman seeks to move on from controversy surrounding a racially-charged remark made last week, The Hill reports.

Said DeSantis: “This Andrew Gillum, he’s on the far-left socialist fringe. He’s a Bernie Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez type candidate.”

He added: “If you have a guy like this enacting a socialist agenda it’s going to absolutely destroy all the progress that Florida has made. He wants to turn Florida in to Venezuela.”
