Florida Nearly Elected Meth Addict Andrew Gillum as Governor in 2018
Dave Rubin Report
Meth Addict Almost Became Gov of This State
What was said
"Gillum was charged on possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana. Of course, this isn't his first rodeo, nor his first runin with the law. You may recall back in March of 2020, cops responded to a call of a possible OD, that's overdose, at the South Beach Hotel. And he was there."
Andrew Gillum, who lost Florida's 2018 gubernatorial race to Ron DeSantis by only 0.4 percentage points, was arrested in July 2024 on drug charges after police found meth, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia in his vehicle during a traffic stop. The hosts argue Florida and potentially the country dodged a major crisis, given DeSantis's pivotal role during COVID-19, and suggest Democratic party leadership knew about Gillum's addiction issues during the campaign.
