Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum attempted to turn the tables on Republicans Wednesday in response to damning new reports that he lied about obtaining Broadway tickets from an undercover FBI agent.
Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, claimed in a short video address to his supporters that he is being targeted by Republicans because he is black.
“The Republicans obviously want to distract, want to suggest. All along throughout this … they’ve wanted the people of this state to believe somehow I haven’t deserved what I’ve gotten, I’m unethical, participated in illegal and illicit activity. I mean, you name it,” Gillum said.
“The goal is obviously to use my candidacy as a way to reinforce, frankly, stereotypes about black men.”

No dude. it's because you are possibly a liar and a crook. But keep towing the race card. That alone will help you lose supporters.
Except, if I read correctly, the freebie ticket gambit happened under the reign of Obama, Lynch & Comey. Busted!
And supposedly his brother from Illinois voted in FL.
If the shoe fits...
