Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist Allegedly Paid Men to Hide Gay Affair: VIDEO
Allegations about former Florida GOP Governor Charlie Crist, long rumored to be gay, are emerging in a Florida Department of Law Enforcement Investigative Report in a scandal involving Republican Party Chair Jim Greer. Greer allegedly paid himself to raise money for the GOP and is set to go to trial in July.
The Crist details have emerged in discovery documents surrounding the investigation, WTSP reports:
The allegations come from Damon Chase, Jim Greer's attorney. Chase told John Morgan of Morgan and Morgan where Charlie Crist works, that if had to depose the former Governor, Crist would be embarrassed by the following issues:
- Charlie Crist is a homosexual and had homosexual relationships with at least two men who were paid to leave the state to avoid embarrassing then Governor Crist.
- Charlie Crist attempted to kiss Greer at a hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
- Governor Crist had drunken escapades and his security detail had to cover for him.
- Charlie Crist attempted to run over people while he was intoxicated and operating a golf cart.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
May be true, but this attorney does have an axe to grind.

When I saw the photo of Crist with his "wife" when he got married, it reminded me of when Calvin Klein also had a "wife". What a joke they both are!
In a few years, Crist will eventually be out and he will be out looking for a "boyfriend".
Calling all TWINKS especially if you have done porn and drugs for future "boyfriend" role to Crist! HAPPY PRIDE ... haha!

I'd take Crist back over Rick Scott in a heartbeat. He can be the silly little GOP closet case married to the beard factory owner all day long but he was much better for the state than the current fuckwit.

He's in the GOP. He doesn't look at this as a "pay off", he's creating wealth, jobs one might say. Just like paying someone to cut the lawn, he's paying someone to "haul his ashes". It's how Republicans invest their tax breaks to stimulate the, um, economy.

Another respected community leader with skeletons in his/her closet. Crist has been WELL KNOWN to be gay for a LONG time. And although I don't normally ascribe to the theory of 'gay face' or a gay 'look', how could anyone check him out and think he's not queer?

So, the defense attorney is claiming that Crist lied on an affidavit and because that discredits his client's case he now needs to discredit Crist himself as a witness? Crist's attorney now claims witness tampering? That's some good hardball tactics you don't see every day. Probably won't come out in the trial much. Crist seems like one of those clown act politicians that political machines put up to keep a tight grip on things. His political career is probably already over.

oh, and the reason this "matters' is because he's a lying pious hyocritical coward who has a history of voting against LGBT-issues.
and now we all know why. duh.

Here in St. Pete, this is hardly news, since we used to see him out in bars all the time before he was governor, and there are plenty of his ex-tricks roaming around. The fact that maybe he is finally getting comfortable with his own self ought to be a plus, and I hope he apologizes heartily for some of the shittier things he did in the past.
