For the most part, the national mainstream media is ignoring this story.
From the Miami Herald:
Undercover FBI agents paid for Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum’s hotel room and his ticket to the Broadway musical “Hamilton” during a 2016 trip to New York City, according to a bombshell trove of records that raises new questions two weeks before the Nov. 6 election for Florida governor.J.R.R. Tolkien's Gollum couldn't keep his story straight either.
Among the records released Tuesday: photos, a video and dozens of text messages between Gillum, who is the Democratic nominee for governor, former lobbyist Adam Corey and an undercover FBI agent. They appear to contradict Gillum’s explanation for the expenses, which have been made a major issue by his Republican rival, Ron DeSantis.
Gillum’s campaign has maintained — and continued to do so Tuesday after the records were released — that Gillum’s brother, Marcus, handed him the ticket the night of the show.
But text messages at the time of the trip show Gillum was told the tickets came from “Mike Miller,” an FBI agent looking into city corruption who was posing as a developer.

Gillum says he got the tickets from his brother. That's his story and he's sticking with it. Oh, and don't call him Andrew!
ReplyDeleteThat brother lives in Chicago. So, Gollum his in Tallahassee, the brother is in Illinois, the show in New York. That makes sense, right?
