Alan Grayson enters race for Florida's U.S. Senate seat
Source: Florida Politics

Brash, progressive former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is running for the U.S. Senate.

The three-term Democratic former congressman from Central Florida has been exploring the possibility of a U.S. Senate run since March, and on Friday began running social media ads attacking Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and touting his own commitment to universal health care.

“I think we were pretty much there,” Grayson told Florida Politics Friday. “Now we’re going to try to take it up a notch.”

Grayson is a Democrat known for taking it up a notch. Or two.

There's the pitch, and the first batter connects!

1. That's the problem
Brash. He turns off a lot of people. He'll never learn to pull his punches. Whether the electorate will be more receptive this time around remains to be seen.



Anyone remember this?

Quote
Mere hours after Politico revealed 20 years’ worth of claims of domestic abuse filed against the congressman by his ex-wife, Lolita Grayson, the politician lashed out at a reporter from the outlet, Edward-Isaac Dovere, whom he threatened to have arrested. The altercation, which occurred at a Politico event in Philadelphia, was caught on tape. In the footage, Grayson can be heard saying, “You’re assaulting a member of Congress,” and, “You know, I’m hoping someone comes here and arrests you,” after Dovere asks for a comment on the alleged domestic abuse.

DU, for the most part, seems to have soured on him; but I think we all remember how moist they got for him back in his heyday.

A very apt description of the DUmmies and their adoration for that douche Grayson.

Yes he did grovel over there for a brief period.

"Alan Grayson is a Unique Voice for Peace. Help Him." - Frances Fisher
[p]Help Alan’s Reelection, Because “We Need Peace.”

[p]The final quarterly deadline for the 2014 Grayson for Congress reelection campaign is approaching rapidly. We asked famed actress Frances Fisher to explain why she supports Alan Grayson, and why you should, too. Frances played one of the central characters in “Titanic,” the second-highest grossing film of all time, and she stars today in the ABC TV drama hit “Resurrection,” the 11th most-watched show on TV. (The second season of “Resurrection” premieres tonight, at 9 pm.) You can see Frances’s moving video here. This is what she said:

 Hi, I’m Frances Fisher, and I’m here to talk to you about Alan Grayson. He needs to be reelected for Congress, because we need him in Congress.

 He’s got one of the most unique voices for peace that I’ve ever heard. And it would be a tragedy if he weren’t reelected. That’s why I’m doing everything that I can [to reelect Alan Grayson]. That’s why I’m speaking to you, right now.
 
 Open your wallets.

 Open your heart.

 Open your mind.

 Tell your friends. Tell people you don’t even know.

 Donate something to Alan Grayson. Get him reelected to Congress. Our lives depend on it.

 We don’t need any more war. We need peace.

 Sincerely,

 Frances Fisher

 [em]Our FEC deadline is barely 48 hours away. Please help Alan Grayson’s reelection campaign, right here and right now.[/em]

Express Donate $25

Express Donate $50

Express Donate $10

Or donate another amount.

3. I am with Grayson on this issue.

This guy could be elected to the presidency. Seriously. The nation is just waiting for a leftie populist.

They would probably have to kill him. His political opponents, I mean. Just want to clarify. NSA, you know.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The album is about an anarchist assassin who knows politics and religion are just cynical tools of control. So, he's killing political and religious leaders at the behest of an organization.

It's kinda weird how Grayson sounds just like the fictional TV preacher painted as a motivator.

Of course the majority of the DUmp have soured on Grayson. He's a bomb thrower similar to Nina Turner in OH. If he does run he'll likely lose badly in the primary to Val Demings. The Dem establishment wants no part of someone that "brash" also he fails to check off any intersectional boxes. Interscetionality is why we have Commie Harris as VP.

It certainly ain't her "wisdom", "charm", or rapier-like political acumen...
