Florida Democratic candidate for governor, Charlie Crist, went there and called out the Republican Party’s racism towards President Obama during an interview on Fusion.
Host Jorge Ramos said that Crist left the Republican Party, because he was about to lose to Marco Rubio. Crist replied, “I left the Republican Party because the Republican leadership went off the cliff. I mean, they’re so hard right now they won’t cooperate with the president on anything. I mean, it’s very disappointing and very discouraging, but I’m an optimist. It’s going to get better.”

Democrats are finally starting to call out the racism that exists in large segments of the Republican Party. Calling out the way that Republicans have treated the president is only going to help Crist politically in Florida, because he is saying something that Democratic voters have known since Obama first became the Democratic nominee in 2008.
Charlie Crist details his slow break up with the Republican Party in his book. He makes it clear that he had seen a shift towards the far right building before he ran for Senate. His mistake was that he underestimated how quickly the Republican Party would move to the far right.
