Andrew Gillum Responds To Trump Attacks: 'Never Wrestle With A Pig'
ANDREW GILLUM
Florida Democratic guber- natorial candidate Andrew Gillum slapped back at President Donald Trump late Monday in a post to Twit- ter, comparing the president to a pig even as he claimed to be unwilling to trade insults with Trump.
Trump, an endorser of GOP nominee Ron DeSan- tis in Florida's tight guberna- torial race, labeled Gillum --- without elaborating --- a “stone cold thief” in an inter- view with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Monday night.
Gillum, the mayor of Tal- lahassee, Florida, responded to the president on Twitter, writing: “I heard @realDon- aldTrump ran home to @FoxNews to lie about me. But as my grandmother told me — never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it. So ignore him and vote, Florida!”
Gillum has been the sub- ject of criticism in recent days after records released by the Florida Commission on Ethics showed that he accepted tick-
ets to the Broadway musical “Hamilton” from an under- cover FBI agent in 2016, though Gillum’s campaign has insisted that the proper procedures were followed on the trip.
Trump has also attacked Gillum over his track record as mayor of Tallahassee, telling Ingraham that Florida’s capital city “is known as the most corrupt in Florida and one of the most corrupt in the nation.”
There is an ongoing FBI investigation into possible corruption at Tallahassee's city hall, and though Gillum has not personally been impli- cated in the probe thus far and says he's been told he is not a focus of the investiga- tion, he has faced accusations of ethics violations through- out the campaign.
Gillum and Trump also exchanged barbs earlier in the day Monday, after the presi- dent tweeted praise of De- Santis noting that the GOP nominee was a "Harvard/Yale educated man" and not a "thief" like Gillum.
Gillum responded by call- ing out the president for not having the "courage" to tag him in the tweet. Trump "is howling because he's weak," he added.
White House press secre- tary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday would not elaborate on the presi- dent's claims that Gillum is a "thief," telling reporters that "that individual's under FBI investigation. I would refer you to that."
