He's another criminal politician

Well at least he didn’t conspire with a foreign power to steal an election, or kidnap children to put in cages, or mock a woman who suffered a horrendous sexual assault. Trumple still has his job. What’s the point

buh bye

Where is the mob asking for he to step away....... no there isnt cause dems have a double standart

Why is this the first thing on my feed when I open twitter for the last day Why?

Why is this the first thing on my thread every time I open twitter 🤦🏽‍♂️ Why?

FakeNews SmearCampaign

Did he give any favors back to the dude? WHO CARES Big deal we have a DICTATOR WHO won by the help of Russia and we were worried about emails of Hillarys GILLUM IS THE BEST AND I ALREADY VOTED FOR HIM

Seriously? Please do some real reporting.

Where is the new news!

He can Be Bought and Proved it!

We have a president who is wasting and profiting off of the office and you are writing about this nonsense. Get a grip. This is why the media has a bad rep.

Soo

No problem. Trump lets you do that.

Rick Scott commited medicare fraud and for some reason I am supposed to care about Hamilton tickets?

Tickets to Hamilton?!? Scandalous!!!!

Who cares? I hope he had a good time!

Another nasty ploy by the GOP 2 hurt a great candidate. So he went to Hamilton thinking his brother paid when some FBI agent was doing a probe. Nothing in comparison 2 the corruption plaguing the current GOP + occupant of the WH. Gillum is the most + only decent choice 4 Florida!

Was 2016 Allegation and it's over. So this is the best you can do. Look at Devin Nunes and his ticket scamp pro basketball games.

And the president said it was OK to grab them by the pussy and we have a man on the SCOTUS that was approved after being hysterical during the hearings. Puleeeeze

...you don't say no to Hamilton tickets.

No one cares.

why are you sending this along since it's been investigated and proven false chrg.

Looks like Thing they keep sayin about Drive by media they’re the best at it

This going to be a “hold my nose” and vote for him. The only thing that makes it possible is the knowledge that our state legislature will curtail his proposals of of higher taxes to increase his nanny-state entitlements that failed in crime-ridden Tallahassee.

Who cares?! 😂😂😂

So? Those tickets are impossible to get I would have taken them too🤔😏🤷‍♀️

So what? Trump sleeps with porn stars. Pays hush money. Takes dirty money from Russians.

That's not good. Anyone that still thinks that the FBI is a tool of the left need only look at the last two election cycles...

Another national media Corp working on behalf of the gop to destroy democracy and any chance we have of saving our country from these savage fascists

Wow omg no way a free ticket to Hamilton? Call the FEDS on every member of the GOP & TRUMP who are being funded by hostile foreign powers and rigged the election-oh wait they’re already on it😊

Why is the FBI trying to catch people with free Hamilton tickets? They seriously don’t have anything better to look into?

Gillum is corrupt. He wasted a lot of money in Tallahassee.

His brother handed him the tickets. .. Mmmmmm what are y'all reporting this BS for..

Be careful if you prove him to be a crook...you'll be labeled a racist

You sound desperate

Just another freeloader, a crook & a vile representation of an American! USA Florida MAGA Politics GOP

Gillum knows the rules on accepting tickets and swag and he is in violation. Is this how he will behave in office? Doesn’t deserve to win the election

Seriously. Play tickets? This is how low we have sunk.

The latest news suggests that this is not true: it suggests his brother got the ticket for him. I’m just suggesting that this is not the time to accept 1 version of a story when there are many out there who want this fantastic talented public servant to lose. God speed his path.

Who really cares about play tickets?

Who gives a shit

lol.

Gross clickbait.

Ok. So I should be concerned about Gillum seeing a show, but not trump and his minions pillaging the entire country? Got it.

How’s that any worse than taking money from the NRA?

Let me know when he buys a $31,000 table.

And...that’s all you’ve got How pathetic. Moving on cause ....

OMG &did he make a $50,000 sound proof room or buy a $50,000 dining room set?My browser history was a bribe of $8,400 to Congressman StevePierce of NewMexico. MitchMcConnell got over $200,000 to sell our netneutrality. Republicans sold our internet.Our healthcare is next.

Rick Scott stole $700 million! Why are you reporting on tickets.... Trash reporting.

Oh....slap him in chains & sentence him to life in prison!! Come on haters! REALLY?! desantis resigned due to ethics violations against him and Florida elected convicted felon rick scott as governor but Mr. Gillum getting tickets on the down low is a problem. Racist biased much!

You make it sound like they went out and bought him tickets and said thank you from the FBI

Not, lying republicans as usual. Only thing they know how to do.

Yeah and so what. Has anyone check Donald trumps Saudi gifts? There are many.

Ok so no one cares every single ethical and financial violation made by realDonaldTrump DAILY but we care about Hamilton tickets!!!! Please STOP!

Nooooo not.....Hamilton tickets!! Oh how could he Please..😂😂😂😂

Unless he grabbed a woman by the you know what! He’s eligible! Wait! Take that back! Unless he is accused of sexual assault! He’s eligible! Crap! Take that back! I guess at this point he’s eligible no matter what! No rules or bar to represent the country!

What r u trying to do here exactly ? Create an inexistente situation to advance what exactly ?

So what?

Hmm, FBI said they are not investigating Andrew, but the Florida Commission on Ethics, is. Why? And who sits on this commission?

Oooh, now do Trump.

Oops!

WGAF

Tickets to a show? You are kidding me. The graft and corruption in the Trump administration and assorted Republicans, involves millions of dollars. 5th Amendment Rick Scott ran a company that was fined 1.7 billion for Medicare fraud, for God's sake.

FFS! I hope he went to the theater, enjoyed the show, went to a deli afterwards and ordered a corned beef on rye with Grey Poupon and wore a tan suit while doing it!!!

O the humanity!!! 🙄

So what?! Donald Trump & the whole crime family & associates accept multi-millions every day, to assist election interference, raid the U.S. treasury, & possibly even to cover a murder. When the law doesn't stop it at the top, anything less loses outrage.

And Scott defrauded Medicare and Medicaid for hundreds of millions of dollars and walked away with no punishment, then became Governor and cheated 800,000 citizens out of healthcare and refused to accept money for a high-speed rail. You say which is worse.

BS. Total BS. If someone offered me a free seat to Hamilton, you can bet I would take it.

This is laughable after watching trump and his cabinet bilk from our coiffures. This is the most corrupt administration ever in the White House and you’re worried about Hamilton tickets. What a joke. Vote Gillum on November 6th.

Not Broadway tickets.....🤔😩

So?

Don't blame him. It's a tough ticket

Shame on you Politico. The campaign has said that “the crew” included his brother, who is the person that gave him his ticket.

This is a lie

Dude, ya done screwed up.

Let's keep a little perspective here. If you are upset about this, you might want to look into what Trump is doing over here:

De Santia got free ride to Jerusalem. So your point

How do you spell corruption? Gillum

Free Hamilton tickets!? Really. This is the 'dirt' they have on him 😂 hope he did go and sang along to every song 🎵🎶🎵🎶

I think we need more info about this story , it sounds a little fishy, so somebody said I have these tickets to Hamilton do you want them & he accepted them ..was there any quid pro quo? any expectation? or just somebody who's out campaigning with him offering him a night out?

Donald Effin Trump is the president and we are supposed to care about tickets for Hamilton? L

Broadway tickets. Wow. Jackpot. 🙄. DeSantis has taken huge amounts of money from the NRA.

BIG DEAL, CHECK ALL THE GRAFT TRUMP & REPUBLICANS TAKE BEFORE U START TRYING TO TAKE DOWN GILLUM.. HE IS BETTER THAN ANY OF THAT STREET TRASH IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR IN ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR THAT MATTER..

Oh my free tickets; Trump sold out America and we are suppose to care about Hamilton tickets.

Really, tickets!!!!!! Oh come on!!!

IGaveHimTheTickets ...

Who cares Really? I pay for Trump to golf every weekend anyone want to repay my taxes for that?

If he took the tickets and lied about them there is a problem.

you just trying to find anything to go after this man it's freaking tickets just going after every black person who is running gov

Trump dodges 500 hundred million in taxes and the repugs are concern about Broadway tickets this is laughable

Still has my vote!

GoTrumpFL Privileged Mr. Gillum?

Trump got help from Russia!

Please. Get over the smears. You all just want to jump at the bait of a smear. This is the issue with American politics, to be frank. Cover the issues not the spin!

Tickets? To a play? Lemme see if I get this straight. Trump uses the office of the president for personal financial gain and his defenders say so what. Rick Scott made millions off veterans and nobody blinks. Now you’re crying about a GD broadway show? Bwahahahahahahaha. Foh

This is not a story or relevant. Trump family are the biggest grifters around focus on them.

So what

Who really gives a sh!t? NOBODY!

This is literally the only way to get Hamilton tickets

SO

And?

Just stop with this smear talk!!

Gee another politician taking money

I stop looking at what's ethical for candidates now until 45 and his administration learn the meaning of that word. Until then they could take tickets to Paw Patrol I don't care. According to TedCruz2018 'I'm voting up & down the ballot' for blue

Who cares? If that's the only thing they can come up with on him, then that's a good reason to vote for him.

desantis is taking money from koch bros.

Jesus Christ, does this issue matter to everyone except trump?

So fuckin’ what?

And Florida's current gov. made sure his investments benefitted by actions he took. His 'blind trust' was blind in name only. He KNEW he'd benefit. Play tickets? You're going to equate play tickets with this million dollar scam?

So!

So?

I am not saying Andrew as done anything wrong but how much wrong as trump done what have republicans done to him nothing

Ok first I don't see what the issue is. And if there is an issue then wow is this the best you can do. Didn't the Republican president get accused of rapping 13 women and was still elected.

Witch hunt. Hoax. Who cares?

Rut-Roh, sounds like dirty Florida Democrat nominee Andrew Gillum accepted illegal tickets and trips from undercover FBI agents! Time for Andrew Gillum to step down!!

If it’s not corroborated then why put this hit-piece out? Same shit y’all do to SenSanders and other progressives. Weak shit, .

That's what Dems do

Oh the FBI doing its thing again

Tax payers paid for the Mike Pence Colts tickets that he walked out of because he was butt hurt about people kneeling so.... Who cares

FLGovScott was a part of one the biggest Medicare fraud schemes and nothing.

And?

Hell. Who wouldn’t accept Hamilton tickets?!

So....we care about Hamilton tickets for AndrewGillum but blithely ignore sexual assault, massive incompetence, and an administration that lies constantly and openly flirts with authoritarianism and white supremacists? Got it. Priorities right?

Lock him up!

Always take the cheap way

BREAKING NEWS: AndrewGillum is cultured! No wonder RonDeSantisFL and his master realDonaldTrump dislike him so much.

What utter nonsense.

He got into Hamilton? Niiiice!

Why are you posting this story?

Considering the President is a country-club hood with dreams of becoming an orange Don Corleone, and his funneling of billions of dollars in Russian mafia cash through his real estate business, not to mention the emoluments clause violations, who gives a fuck about show tickets?

There you go again Politico!

weak....the man will get my vote...move on...I'd say we have much bigger more alarming fish to fry

No charges, so you're reporting this with misleading headlines why?

What is wrong with Politico?!!! Seriously

darel0324 Is he going to jail? Probably not... he is a Democrat. They get away with murder. Just ask Killary

Who cares? These guys all get millions of dollars from industries, lobbyists, and special interest groups, and we are going to try and derail some one over theater tickets? that's what is wrong with the system

When is a bribe not a bribe? When does accepting money, for a political campaign, from a person, who is engaged in a public act of sedition, Soros, by a person running for office, not accepting support from and participation in that act of sedition, by the supporter?

It would really be a crime if Gillum went say, $200 grand into debt to buy Hamilton tickets!

Hamilton tickets You r going to trash Gillum over Hamilton tix right b4 the election w/a demon like DeSantis running? Who is paying YOU to write this crap?

They are doing the same crap here in GA against Abrams. Today they “find” an article where she was protesting the then racist GA flag in 1992. A group of AUC students burned a copy of the GA flag and they should have!!

In these times, that's tiddly winks. Keep rolling BLUE, we're not listening.

Broadway tickets? Really? Does the FBI have nothing better to do than follow around black liberals trying to play gotcha?

It’s a great play. Hope he enjoyed it. FakeInvestigation

Seriously You’re writing about this when the Republican Party is awash in sludge? When Gillum’s opponent is a racist pig? Report real stories.

POTUS on TV said he grabs p...y and they give in. His flock voted for him before going to Sunday mass. This crappy flimsy accusation of Gillum will not deter Floridians from enthusiastically going to vote for him. People are sick and tired & won’t take it any more. Angry! GO VOTE

Wow. Huge (yawn) ... a real game-changer, huh?

Time to step aside.

Another Corrupt Democrat

Republicans are working overtime!!

Tweeter BT Samuel are you really a black woman or a Russian operative using the photo of one? Maybe you are another confused misguided Omarosa that is ignoring how much black people have been oppressed in this country by white nationalist like Trump.

Two tickets to see Hamilton... please!!

Our president is up the ass of Russia, SaudiArabia and you’re publication is reporting on FREEHAMILTONTICKETS

Someone in the GOP has the nerve to be pissed about this?

The president is selling the US to the highest bidder...We have bigger problems than Hamilton tickets!

WTF someone offers me Hamilton tickets I'd take them too.

Gillum has not publicly been accused of wrongdoing as part of that investigation, but the cloud of the probe has hung over his campaign.

AustinSekel It’s called being on the take! Gillum is a smooth talker and NOT good for Florida.

Read the article, it’s a non-story. They gave these tickets to a friend of his, who took Gillum with him to see Hamilton.

So!

There you go again- singing the GOP song book

lol look at the Trump-bots in this thread desperately trying to push this BS.

And 3-2-1...

LiarsLeakersAndLiberals WeDisregardSillyLibs

Tickets? Really? Can we move on to something of importance please?

Was the FBI agent going on a date or no?

Wow. Tickets to a Broadway show?!? In a country where corruption of the highest order is absolutely rampant this doesn’t move the needle for me at all. Is this Politico or Fox News?

Oh wow..what a crime to accept tickets to Hamilton..it is a great historical play..more people should go and see it..they will learn something about our founding fathers. Nobody goes to jail when they accept money from the Russians filtered through the NRA or take $ from Pharma

Well how else do you get tickets to Hamilton

Oh, NOW leftists don’t like FBI probes. Hypocrites...

Don’t care.

You gonna report on the child rape accusations against Trump, or the fact that every major media outlet's been infiltrated by Putin, or the fact that mass shootings are connected to misogyny, not mental illness? No? You'd rather smear the black guy? Okay.

Seriously. This is big? Have you met the Trumps You know this is perfectly ok now right

Really

Whoopsie

If GOP did not care about ethics issues with Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke and POTUS, why should we worry about Hamilton tickets!?!? FOH.. i hope Gillum enjoyed the show!

Probably the same FBI friends of Giuliani that went rogue on Hillary. Damn them to hell. Just sick of this crap. Now all news media is going to talk about this for the next 2 weeks.

Perfect example of 'corruption' probes as a tool to keep control for those in power. REAL corruption looks like what's happening in the GA, TX, ND, MO, or pretty much any other race that's been rigged by those currently in power.

Seriously, have you nothing else to report?

Trump gets help winning the election from Russia, $40+ million from Saudis for apartments and tens of millions from Casino owners looking for special favors with foreign governments and we're talking about Hamilton tickets? WHAT IS GOING ON

So?

Lol. Such nonsense, Politico.

I mean, let's be honest, who wouldn't bend the rules a little bit for Hamilton tickets?

I already vote for Gillium. ExGOP

Rick Scott let old people die in nursing home last year and deleted the voicemails. What’s the price tag for those lives lost ?

Tickets to Hamilton!? Ha! Our current Florida Gov Rick Scott stole HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS from MEDICARE and Veterans healthcare funds and was found GUILTY. (Besides, Who could refuse Hamilton tickets!?)

Give me a damn break.

Screw you Politico. Very well timed. Trump loving organization if there ever was one. Big DEAL tickets to a play. Are you kidding?!

Russians? No problem. Hamilton tickets? Mon dieu!!

Emoluments trump look into that politico.

Focus your attention on the President and his family who haven’t paid a dime in income taxes for years, MILLIONS of dollars stolen from us taxpayers. And you publish *this* with 2 weeks to go?

And Ron DeSantis is a Trump sychophant, and a blatant racist.

Don't ya'll have more important things to look into? Am sure DiSantis has a few skeletons in his closet, so run along now & take a look 👍

Oh goodness lock him up! 🙄So how many “gifts” you think Scott has excepted or any other politician in Fl?

Nooooo!! Not tickets... With all the shit poppin off uner the GOP tent, folks really about to use Hamilton tickets as the dagger! Smh... ' THIS IS BULLL SHIIIIIITTT'

Please who cares? It’s not like he’s conspiring with a foreign country to change our elections

So what?! Kavanaugh raped women and he’s a Supreme judge now.

WOW, REALLY! THIS IS THE BEST YOUVE GOT ON HIM HUH? PATHETIC, PLAIN PATHETIC.

bradyleonard OMG......

Man. Really. Spend your time investigating a president who is robbing EVERYONE right before our eyes.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ARE YOU KIDDING ME! YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOME TICKETS WHEN YOU HAVE THE REPUBLICANS EMBEZZLING MONEY YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT STOLE MORE MONEY THAN ANYBODY IN AMERICAN HISTORY FROM THE RUSSIANS AND GERMANY AND SAUDI ARABIA! YOU GUYS ARE PITIFUL!

Unfollowed.

Crook! Unfit for office! Great job Dems, picking some real winners 👍🏽

If this was an undercover FBI agent then how in the hell does this story make it public 2 weeks before his election? classified🤷🏽‍♂️ This screams like a political hit job from Republicans. Along with Stacy abrams. Let’s not be fooled for one second that this wasn’t all planned.

corruption is politics

And? After everything this horrific administration has done, Hamilton tickets? Crap, if someone gave me Hamilton I’d go.

So..the president is scamming America and making money hand over foot for the rich! So what if he went to see a play!

lol wait let me just ignore the rampant corruption emanating from the Republicans and not vote for the democrat who will protect my interests. Um nice try politico, still carrying that Republican water I see

And RonDeSantisFL is still a lying racist.

Now let's see the report on all of DeSantis' trips to the fox studio!

Its cute when Politico wants to talk ethics but doesn't give a shit that Kushner is owned by the murdering Saudis. But okay, sure, lets say he did it...who the hell would say no to Hamilton tickets? IT IS AMAZING. I'm much more concerned about people robbing the republic.

pathetico

Trump accepts money from Saudi Arabia at his hotels and then looks the other way when they have a US resident killed. VoteBlue

Politico.. you are showing your true STRIPES arent you Beware READERS...

Hamilton tickets? Who cares.

How many millions of $ did the Trump family bilk from the City of New York over the years by not paying real estate taxes?

That was an entitlement for “Politicians” !

Dude is done

Just for fun, let’s find out what DeSantis has accepted. Pols; just say no

Total setup

Who paid for the Pences' Hamilton tickets?

Very dissppointed in this 'reporting', Politco. Seems shallow and no context.

Besides Rick Scott defrauded the medicaid system of over 700 million and you are reporting a out some damn Hamilton tickets? Foh! WE DON'T CARE! VoteGillum

Is there actually a problem here?

Puuhlease! Is that all you've got?🙄

Racism vs free Hamilton tickets. Yeah I can see how that's equal.

Who really cares! We have a President and administration who are corrupt as f. And this is what you care about. Let's talk about the racist Desantis!

Yet trump continues to accept money from foreign governments and that's totally fine.

Let’s compare that to Trump’s capers, shall we?

Isn’t he already being investigated for something illegal?

Who cares.

And how was he supposed to know?

Guess your mag

Let's see tickets to a broadway show compared to laundering money for the Russians in exchange for election meddling that gets you elected.Why not do another story on the caravan of 'terrorists' coming to America, I don't think you've carried Trump's water enough today

Wow Politico, getting to the heart of corruption I see.

So what?

Soooo, who cares!? VoteGillum VoteBlue we aren't allowing you or anyone else to run a smear campaign on our candidates! GoBlue StayBlue

DeSantis spent tax payer money to fly to be on FOX News.

Andrew Gillum got 'Hamilton' tickets from undercover FBI agents, despite claims to the contraryText messages reportedly show that, despite past denials by Gillum and his campaign, he accepted tickets during their trip to New York for the Broadway musical play 'Hamilton' from an undercover FBI agent. Trump has shredded the emoluments clause, and continues to line his pockets via the presidency, and nobody seems to care. I don’t see why a couple of theater tickets should matter at this point.
