Fox News
Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist labeled Gov. Ron DeSantis’ "the shutdown guy" despite previously praising the governor's lockdowns and unsuccessfully calling for more.
"You're the one who's the shutdown guy," Crist continued. "We need to have somebody who's at the helm that understands it's important to listen to science. To do what's right, to utilize common sense. You don't just shutdown at the outset and then when it's politically convenient for you, you want to open back up to score political points."

Crist’s comments Monday drew a stark contrast to what he said at the start of the pandemic. In April 2020, after DeSantis issued his first and only statewide stay-at-home order, Crist praised the move but said it happened too slowly.
