My how quickly the dirty rats fall.
This douche bag was touted by the rat media, literally pushed along by rat leadership and media in an effort to defeat DeSantis. They were anointing him the next BO! The rat racists couldn't believe how well spoken he was.
He was a slime ball then and completely unqualified to be Governor but he was black and the liberal elite leadership thought they could defeat DeSantis simply because their candidate was a minority.
Now he has been indicted for fraud.
Avenatti, Andrew Gillum, who's next rats. The slimy assholes you get to do your dirty work for you are all going to jail.

In a statement provided to NBC News, Gillum said the case was politically motivated. "There’s been a target on my back ever since I was the mayor of Tallahassee," he said. "They found nothing then, and I have full confidence that my legal team will prove my innocence now.”

Florida dodged a .50 cal bullet, that asshat damn near won the election.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/desantis-roasts-media-mea-culpa-glorifying-andrew-gillum?dicbo=v2-90511b71d7d10e4671c68ef01a466d3e
During an event on Thursday, DeSantis was asked by a conservative activist if he felt "vindicated" following the recent developments of Gillum's legal troubles, particularly since the Republican had leveled attacks about a known FBI prob against the Democrat during the gubernatorial race.
"Well, you know… I would ask a lot of the media that propped him up whether they have any type of mea culpa on that," DeSantis responded. "I mean, there were clearly a lot of issues there. If you looked under the hood, you saw it, but what was presented to the public was that this guy was like the second coming."
"I mean, never has a candidate been elevated, I think, that way by media outlets, certainly in the last ten years or so. And I can tell you - if I had not won in 2018, this state would be in much worse shape and that's not even a question. And so we're happy that we were able to do it but even more happy that we've been able to lead and accomplish more than anyone thought we could accomplish in the state of Florida," the governor added.
During one of the most-watched campaigns in the 2018 midterms, Gillum was a media darling as the candidate many believed would defeat a pro-Trump Republican like DeSantis in a blue wave election cycle.
Pundits on CNN and MSNBC praised Gillum as "amazing" and "authentic," saying he was "electrifying the Democratic base." Esquire magazine published a feature on Gillum headlined "A star is born." Vox even ran a report about Gillum receiving 2020 buzz.
They are such great judges of character. Are they not. It’s interesting how easily they fall in love with guys like him.
I hear Trump was a snake oil salesman. I guess that’s how he was able to flip SCOTUS.
Top Democrats, including President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Obama, endorsed Andrew Gillum’s failed Florida gubernatorial bid and hailed him as a man of character before he became embroiled in multiple scandals, the latest being a slew of federal charges related to campaign fraud.
Gillum's claim that the indictment is "political" is curious, given that the charges were brought by Biden's DOJ. While Gillum’s failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign received massive donations from billionaires like George Soros and Tom Steyer, he also received political firepower with endorsements from Biden and other top progressives like Obama, then-Sen. Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
During an October 2018 campaign event in Tampa, Biden praised Gillum as "one of the most exciting, new, young leaders in the nation" and described the November election as "reclaiming America’s soul, for real."
Weeks later, just days before the election, Obama delivered a speech in Miami during a campaign event for Gillum, calling it the "most important election of our lifetime."
Why were you so eager to install a corrupt, degenerate, drug abuser into power? Should be a question they're all forced to answer.
