Trump just called Gillum (FL Dem Gov candidate) a thief via tweet.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

In Florida there is a choice between a Harvard/Yale educated man named @RonDeSantisFL who has been a great Congressman and will be a great Governor - and a Dem who is a thief and who is Mayor of poorly run Tallahassee, said to be one of the most corrupt cities in the Country!

They were so busy singing the praises of His Orange Majesty, that they sort of talked about it only in hushed tones. But they mentioned it.

Andrew Gillum ✔ @AndrewGillum

Governor candidate, FL

On Twitter there is a choice between having the courage to @ the person you are trash talking, or not. @realDonaldTrump is howling because he's weak. Florida, go vote today.

a bit. Far less to them than anything dump is accused of. Sort of influence peddling. Quaint in these times.

False
No evidence that Andrew Gillum is running from FBI
By Amy Sherman on Friday, October 12th, 2018 at 3:30 p.m.

A Republican ad portrays Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum as a man on the run from law enforcement amid an FBI corruption probe in his city.

"Andrew Gillum is running for governor and also from the FBI," the Republican Party of Florida ad says.

We are a highly democratic city in a sea of redneck red. He is only helping to get more people to come out and vote in our fair city. I'd like to kick his racist ass.

Is sowing chaos and division to weaken this country for putin and him to overthrow this government with , using violence and using propaganda to instill hate and fear , then incite acts of violence with to weaken our country . Allowing cyber systems in our infrastructure to be targeted when they make their move on us here. Trump is committing treasonous acts against this country almost daily now. Attacking all Democratic institutions are being done for a reason , and to carry out their plan. trumps not smart enough to do all this all on his own I think, and probably all from Putin , the GRU, and FSB and Russian think tanks. Its making more sense what they're doing , and why they're talking so much .
