Florida Rival Charlie Crist Pitches ‘Dictator’ Costume That Resembles Gov. Ron DeSantis

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist on Friday plugged an unusual “wannabe dictator” Halloween costume on Twitter that appeared to resemble Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Oh, wait … it is Ron DeSantis.

Crist called it the “scariest costume for Halloween this year.”
