Typical Democrat!

Lordy, all the corruption in our country and our government and you are upset about some flipping tickets Really?

So what?

Raciest people

Gilliam playing his handy race card, again

If he defrauds thousands of students by opening up a fake university, and if he commits campaign finance fraud, the GOP would be ready to make him POTUS.

Fake right wing conspiracy theories.

What a sting

puhleeze!!

All the dyed in wool blue 'who cares' twitter twits helping Florida turn even more degenetate than it already is.

Geezzz can’t someone anyone give tickets to republican or democrate without sensationalizing on it!

Sounds like a set-up. Nevertheless means nothing.

Bet he’s screaming racism

Dear Politico, a Miller Analogies Test practice example for you - Hamilton Tickets : Russian help throwing a US Election :: Confronting your elected officials : sending them pipe bombs Please brush up for the GRE. Thanks.

Who cares?!!! Let’s move on to important news.

HOW DARE HE ACCUSED A VETERAN OF BEING RACIST ? WAS HE A RACIST WHEN HE PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE FOR ALL AMERICANS AND THOSE WHO RESIDE HERE ILLEGALLY OR LEGALLY ?

Corrupt Andrew!!

In public office one never accepts any kind of gift no matter how small. To do otherwise shows the public your lack of morality.

That’s and old story.

Nothing like entrapment! No other crimes going down that day?

At least he pays his taxes unlike our so called president.

Wow!! Scandalous

Can you get me a pair of tickets too?

To the mud we go!

The issue with accepting things while in public office from others is the risk of bribes, shmoozing and swaying. He is entitled to go to a play when in public office but he must pay for it. Timing of release is suspicious, as well as the way it's being told.

There FBI has the time and bandwidth for this, but couldn’t investigate that turd on the Supreme Court one more day or witness? That checks out.

It's a MAGA witchHunt . desperate redhatLosers

He also accepted a stay at a luxury resort from an undercover FBI agent.

What a non story. Stop sharing this bullshit

Dear we do not care! Shame on you... what about Georgia and how the president makes money from internationals? I haven’t read that piece yet

Chop0Matic It this will be how big in less than 2 weeks?

Straight setup

Tickets to a play Lock his ass up.....come on Politoco, this is nonsense there are too many important issues taking place right now. This is not something important or even worth reporting on.

He can’t accept tickets? Why?

At least he has depth and interest in the performing arts AND American history. That's more than we can say about our current President.

Here comes the trash talk on Mr. Gillum.

So what? Doesn’t come close to the crap trump’s done and got away with.

So what

So we have to get Hamilton tickets from the FBI?

So, he accepted Hamilton tickets...Trump accepted help from Russia.🤔

Vote Republican.

They just can't help themselves.

Why is the fbi involved in something like that

Who cares

Sooo Compared to the daily crime and corruption of the GOP this, if illegal, is nothing! So 🤐

And what about Mike Pence’s tickets?

Oh for Pete’s sake! Tickets C’mon! Focus! We have a deranged president who is sucking up to Putin, declares himself a “nationalist “ and bomb scares! And there are people worried about tickets?!!!! 😡

😮 shocking! Who gives a shit if he took tickets, the president likes to grab woman by the pu**y and no one cared.

good Job FBI

Is that all the FBI has to do? No wonder the president discredit them what about who killed the journalist

Don’t matter to me already got my vote

Was he supposed to know he was undercover? I think not! I could use some myself!

That's it? Hamilton tickets? Who. fucking. CARES?!

It was his brother.

You’ve tweeted this story numerous times. He’s not accused of a crime, he’s not indicted. Let’s focus on the issues: water algae issues, voter suppression, gun control, expanded healthcare, climate change.

WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Showing that Gillum is corrupt in the little things doesn't mean he'll be corrupt with a much bigger field of influence. Or, maybe it does.

Free tickets? Has the FBI even HEARD of ConmanTrump and all the blatant conflicts of interest & financial crimes he's committed in office? Talk about needing to get priorities straight.

Wonk wonk

If only Senate an Congress only took tickets they take money for the American ppl in every way possible

It’s okay. He is a Democrat. They are held to the lowest standards

Here you go Politico. Take your Gillum tickets and stick them as far up the butt of the moronic editor that ran this story as you can. After the lying, cheating, self-serving administration 2 tickets to Hamilton isn't even newsworthy. Disgusting media.

Okay, what was the crime? Compared to DeSantis?

Given what’s gone on in trump’s admin, this is a non starter. When gop clean uptheir act, Dems are fair game but not until then.

Gee, out of the top 10,000 political crimes of the century, this must be ranked around 9,998...how was the play?

Why would there be an undercover fbi agent providing tickets to anyone?

Who cares!?!

I wish someone would give Hamilton tickets to Trump. Maybe he’d learn some history about real patriotism and courage.

And.... here we go

So

The effort to appear fair and unbiased has done a great deal of damage. Making mountains out of mole hills and holding on for damn near ever to make themselves feel good. You helped to give us trump and are not being real about the horror that is this administration. Feel better?

Tickets for a broadway show? This should win the 'Chicken Shit Award' for the week. There are no real problems in the world at the moment.

Unless he went with a Russian to see the play and asked for help to win the election......I don’t see a problem!

He definitely made a boo boo! He got caught. Seems petty to me, but oh well, laws are laws.

Bs

He absolutely should apologize to the people voters of Florida and to his opponent

Research

So what?

RealityTali Changing plans if he is elected Governor

Two tickets that he did or didn't get versus sexual misconduct!!! only in America😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“Hamilton” was trash. Just like all the trash who produced/performed in it.

Seriously... this the best dirt on him they got?

OMG, puts Trumps crimes to shame. Hell I would use my connections to get Hamilton tickets also

How does this compare to Scott’s foibles?

Now I’m blocking , Hope everyone will join me. They spread misinformation and lies ✌🏼

Was this a setup, Hell yeah! realDonaldTrump takes money from Russia! And God knows who else and you want to talk about Hamilton tickets? Get the Hell out of here 🙄

This is not the way to discredit someone. More issues and honest debate please

Oooo, Hamilton tickets. I wish someone would of gotten me some tickets. If Melania doesn't care, neither do I.

How dare that black man accept TICKETS!! What sort of moral ineptitude is this?!? The very idea, making out personally off of his govt position. Why, that isnt our tradition! Our fine role models, in ALL branches of Govt, especially our lilly white president...oh, never mind🤮

Perspective: choice is between someone who had to pay a 1.7 billion in Medicare faud and pled the 5th 74 times about stealing money from FL... or a guy that got tickets to a play. Are we done here?

Who cares. More concerned with Trump taking/owing money to some truly bad actors. As well, Pruitt, etc have already set the bar....

Not sure if this is a great big deal but come and vote he needs your votes.

So what......

i can't wait to see how much this upsets republicans even though they don't bat an eye when trump pays off strippers and porn stars to keep quiet about an affair while his wife is home with a newborn baby

This is what you are covering. Really?

Why POlitico/ Why on earth would you even report on this nonsense when your POTUS has emoluments smeared all over his orange face and is a tax fraud a million times over.

That’s a god darm lie,his opponent is way worse

BFD

Give Hamilton tickets to Bone Spurs....maybe he'd learn some history.....NOT

Yawn. That’s all

Just Republican dark arts.

ANNNNNNND!

Setup!!

Did he collude with Russia? Suppress Americans right to vote, or use the United States to fill his pockets with money? No, he didn’t and I couldn’t care less about a couple Broadway tickets

I’d worry about the sanity of anyone who didn’t except free Hamilton tickets. Let’s be honest: this is Hamilton, for crying out loud.

Can't you just lead off with that? 'These are unfounded charges'

Oh my god, he should try scamming billions from Medicare and Medicaid instead, he’ll definitely get voted in then !!!

His opponent is staring defeat in the face & is looking for dirt. Won’t wash!

Another left wing crooked liar.

Who wouldn’t accept tickets to see Hamilton? Seems harmless. The FBI should have used cash if they were trying to set him up or whatever. I’ve been gifted tickets to plays and never thought twice about it.

😒

Bigger question: why was FBI conducting a probe into the city’s economic development agency?

Why are you headlining with a lie when in your story it says Corey texted Gillum to say he was given tickets? Go to Georgia and report on the voter suppression and fraud being committed in the open by BrianKempGA.

So what! Look how corrupt senate n trumps are!!!

POTUS is being bribed publicly and privately and you jokers are talking about Hamilton tickets?

Hahahaha hahahaha.. Hamilton tickets!!!

Why didn’t you also highlight that he didn’t pay for the hotel room for he and his wife to travel to Costa Rica? Gillum let others pick up the tab - that’s why there was an undercover FBI agent wearing a wire and buying him Hamilton tickets. Gillum was on the take. Dirty.

Who cares, look at Mr. Trump’s business affairs and his morals and values and he is our president. Andrew Gillum is the best choice in Fl.

Seriously After all the crap the republicans have done this is pathetic!!

If Satan offered me Hamilton tickets I would accept.

Don’t do this, please don’t do this click bait smear campaign of lies 14 days before the election.

Really Do you guys really want to make up a “big scandal” because of some tickets COME ON 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

If Floridians fall for a fake scandal and vote in a guy who will literally drown their state, please, let’s not send them a life raft.

Lotta people got free tickets to Hamilton. What did he do in return for them? Anything? If so then that's not good. If not, then who cares?

So what! Compared to what the president and his family are doing it's nothing.

Really politico? Trump is a self proclaimed nationalist and your focus is on Hamilton tickets? Assassination attempts have been made on the Clintons and President Obama and yet Hamilton tickets is what you’re writing about!!

Oh brother, really? The president of the United States is a tax dodging, woman-groping, pathological liar. But Hamilton tickets though........get a frigging grip!

Oh for fuck's sake, who in their right mind is going to turn down 'Hamilton' tickets? If Emperor Palpatine himself gave me 'Hamilton' tickets I would take them.

Gee, the guy went to see 'Hamilton.' Assuming he did do it outside the law, on the scale of corruption in this country, it's not eve a blip.

OMG, big scandal

We have the FBI investigate a few tickets now? Who is investigating the 100s or millions of $ that the trump family is receiving from Saudis and russia

So? Who cares?

Hamilton tickets, seriously!! We have officials in office who have slept with pornstars, dosing a stripper to kill her unborn baby, assaulting their wives, and the Khashoggi murder. That's just the beginning

WAIT CORRUPTION IS OVER HamiltonMusical TICKETS? FOR REAL YEAH OK HOW ABOUT RUSSIA VOTING HOTELS MONEY JARED FBI BUILDING MISSING INAUGURATION FUNDS? MANAFORT GIVE ME A BREAK THIS IS WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE RonDeSantisFL AndrewGillum Lin_Manuel StormyDaniels

Who wouldn’t?

Gillum is a Democrat and a stanch Socialist, both of which have become anti-America in the Democrat Party application of both. The Democrats are enemies of the Republic.

EBChristyJr

Have you guys given even a fraction of the amount of coverage devoted to Gillum's hamilton ticket as you have to Rick Scott investing the state pension fund in the company that paid for his re-election?

Sounds like a set-up to me.

Would love to see Hamilton, heard it was great!!!

Whoop de doo

Doesn't the FBI have better things to do?

Is that worse than being a racist like his opponent? I’m still voting for Gillum.

The horror the horror! Compared to his opponent, Gillum is a choir boy.

You guys look REALLY stupid coming out with this nonsense right now. Is that Comey in there? 👀

Much ado about nothing. You'd think that he met Putin in private!

Corruption at its best! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has not publicly been accused of wrongdoing as part of the investigation, but the cloud of the probe over the 'Hamilton' tickets has hung over his campaign

Don’t care

Hamilton tickets? LOL

Gillum is now toast. Over some tickets. Meanwhile, the GOP is about to gut the entire New Deal. Good for you FL.

Undercover? Don’t think so!

Just unfollowed Politico!

Hamilton tickets? Really? FOH it’s not a bag of cash. Why were they offered in the first place, entrapment or did someone have extra tickets? Was it the original cast? Did he get snacks too during the intermission?

The FBI is a Reich Wing owned and operated lackey.

So what!?!? Is this really all you have to report on?

TOTAL NON-FACTOR!!

In ACTUAL news, Brian Kemp is stealing the right to vote away from millions of people in Georgia. There are human rights violations going on all over the country. STAY FOCUSED! VoteBlue

As compared to GOP which is a pack of Neo Nazies, liers. Cheaters, pedophiles, traitors willing to sell America to the highest bidder

Can we still blame Hillary’s emails? Hey, it’s not like Gillum’s Saudi friends who bailed him out with Millions of dollars tortured and murdered a Wapo Journalist. (I just made that up) Hamilton tickets? What an educated sophisticated “African American” crook. Go get him!!

Well if grabbing crotches and not showing your taxes are ok, Hamilton tickets are a pretty minor infraction.

Oh my God! The horror!

Reading this you’d have thought the real investigation should be into Mike Miller and whoever was behind these attempts to corrupt public officials... On the face of this report there’s no way Miller’s actions were ethical, they were probably criminally conspiratorial. Gillum

You guys are angling for parity with Fox now? You aren’t going to fool anyone with reports like this Gillum will not be diverted by tickets to Hamilton when the corruption in this government is rampant

So? The so called president and his cronies are stealing billions of tax payer dollars and you want to torpedo this guy over some show tickets?

This doesn't sound right. Why would an undercover FBI agent offer Hamilton tickets. It would be really something if it was cocaine or $million.

bmangh And? Turned into such a rag.

Don't you have more important things to report on like gov. Scott and GOP accepting massive contributions from ag industry leaving to massive tourism destroying algae blooms?

Really

Unless there is evidence of a kickback or outright bribe, move the hell on from this. This is not clear evidence of corruption, only a cultured man.

Sexual offenders are in WH and supreme court. But sure we will fixate on this 'scandal'. This is so 2015, folks.

Oh my! This is far worse than killing a journalist, calling media the enemy of the people and diminishing our leadership role in the world. It’s even worse than Republicans saying they will protect pre-existing conditions.

Interesting how there have been several “shocking” revelations in the past few days, about Dems who are running. The GOP is really reaching. What’s next? Gillum sang in a Hamilton cover band?

Keep your eye on the Democratic sweep. Be the patriot and Vote VoteBlue VoteBlueReceiveTheMacrace 🇺🇸🇺🇸💙

Ridiculous

Amazing that polls show this socialist leading. Sad. But could the polls be fake? Could they be wrong again?

This is a story? We have rampant corruption all over DC and you are concerned about tickets to Hamilton. Seriously?

A knitpicky one-off!

Nothing story.

So Republicans can give millions to a politician through a PAC, Trump cant violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution, and Kemp can disenfranchise tens of thousands of minorities but the FBI is concerned about Hamilton tickets. Give me a break.

U Devils will say anything to stop the uprising of a people, you are scared of losing power

I was wondering what the FBI actually does.

LIE

So they are trying to set him up now?

Don't elect him! Already know he's shady!

Really? Politico decides to report this now just before mid-terms! Guess you aren’t non-partisan after all! Very disappointing.

frankieBll Sounds like you are caught!

How kind of Politico to do the hit job for the Republicans.

I can't believe all of the outside interest in this guy when they knew about this FBI investigation. Who pays cash for a 4 day, $1400 a night beach hut vacation?

Set up

Smearing when Kemp is swamping his way to office

And a trip to Costa Rica aka a bribe.

Oh, ok.

Let’s talk about the $200, 000 plus tickets that Kavanaugh couldn’t afford that magically got paid for. Let’s talk about those tickets!

Wake up people! He is under investigation for a lot of corruption! We DONT need another corrupt politician raising our taxes here in FL by a BILLION $ just in the first year! Can you afford that? No most of us can’t! It will come from our pockets!

So what? Trumps don’t pay taxes, they launder money, steal taxpayer money, are in violation of the constitution every day, insult & endanger veterans, the military and Americans and the president is a self declared sexual predator but you are worried about set up tickets!

And this important how?

Excuse me that’s it maybe he should be thrown in jail for life for jay walking

If you won’t vote for Gillum because someone comped him Hamilton tickets, you weren’t going to vote for him in the first place. I would vote for him twice if I could. This guy is a star!!!

If he really accepted a ticket from the FBI, why did they FBI never make him a target in their investigation?

Why not get a FB1 to investigate trump tax Returns, or his arm sells to the 9/11 conspirators

That is a very misleading headline! That is not what that text message says AT ALL!

Withdraw from the campaign

I hope he doesn’t wear a tan suit to the show.

Oh my! Are hit Broadway shows the new gateway drug This has the potential to be worse than the opioid epidemic! Won’t someone think of the children?!

Who fuckng cares!

Cut the crap Politico. Nice try. Won’t work. Floridians are determined to end one party rule. Trump boasted about grouping women and his flock made him president. We don’t care!!

Awesome use of the FBI. Let’s check and see if he removed the tags of his mattress.

Nothing burger!!

Why would the FBI engage in 'entrapment' activity if this is indeed true? SMEAR CAMPAIGN

HOW DOES THAT COMPARE WITH STEALING THE PRESIDENCY, AND 2 SUPREME COURT SEATS, AND CONSPIRING W/RUSSIA?

One of the many, many reasons as to why this communist is bad for the state of Florida. He will raise taxes or proposed a state tax for all his bright stupi ideas of giving everything away and ruining our state into chaos and bankrupt. Untrustworthy. Another crooked Hillary

so they set him up but didn’t file charges? Must be more to the story meaning he must be innocent

Hamilton should be required viewing for all Americans. Especially those in public service.

So what

Wow

Who gives a sh*t.

Is that the FBI that did nothing to investigate Kavanaugh?

And what? Who cares?

And Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault, Trump was accused of numerous sexual assault and even admitted to grabbing them by the ...., so what exactly is the issue here?

Theatre tickets. Big deal.

For goodness sake, so what? Compared to the incredible corruption that is now rampant, this isn't even a drop in the bucket.

What hypocrites Democrats are having such double standards. Corrupt politicians are corrupt whether they are Republican or Democrat yet Democrats invaribly find excuses to justify endorsing theirs.

Just lost respect for you . Gillum wiped the floor with DeRacist ... a little biased? Robo calls from Republicans calling Gillum a negro and monkey-that kind of slander and dirty politics is worth writing about. Kemp stealing votes. Shame on you.

Gillum (or 'Gullum' as we Tallahassee residents call him) was undoubtedly one of the most corrupt mayors FL's capitol city ever had.

And!?

Breaking news - Florida Ethics Commission releases thousands of emails to try and influence upcoming election. That would be a more honest headline.

And this rates as a “scandal”? Have you looked at the trump administration?

We have an adulterer who claims that he can grab a woman in their private part who is living in the White House . Nevernind that let's talk about stupid Broadway tickets.

So what? Trumps family and himself have accepted millions of dollars from foreign countries , let alone theater tickets !!!

Hamilton tickets? Really? Give me a break. Go fly a kite.

How pathetic is this. GOP puts Buying tickets for a play worse than a treasonous President these days.

In contrast Republicans are totally corrupt. Nobody will care but only cast a shadow on the fairness of this election. Let's talk about the voters Scott has removed from the voting rolls.

Hamilton is in Canada !!! Why he buy ticket's too go their ? Is Obama gonna meet him? Did Soros pay for the ticket's

DocWashburn misleading headline: Gillum got tickets from undercover FBI agent investigating his economic corruption

Slime smear

Oh for crying out loud is this the best you’ve got?

FLGovScott company HCA/Columbia Healthcare committed $1 BILLION DOLLARS IN MEDICARE FRAUD, Rick Scott is now Governor of Florida. Using the money he STOLE from our dying Grannies to fund his political career. Politico says that is OK and Politico Propaganda helped him win

And I hope he enjoy the show. Not like he slept with a Porn Star or anything like that.

Who cares? Like really how is this newsworthy Politico?

Let's not forget this or the fake origin story and that $500M in estate taxes that the MSM conveniently forgets.

“Today’s $25 million settlement agreement is a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university.”

Hey, he didn’t GIVE the FBI Agent Tickets, that would be a bribe.

And his opponent got hammered at a NASCAR race wearing confederate flag underwear

Hamilton Tickets , I mean fine corruption is corruption but Hamilton tickets are really hard to come by, by Potus has been trying to be a cheerleader for the Saudi till know about journalists murders, Doran that count for something

Pathetic Politico. Voter suppression is off the charts and our president loves despots & criminal congressmen who BodySlam reporters - but do go on about Hamilton tix ending America as we know it!

What I can’t is use of FBI against political opponents total shame

Not understanding why the FBI would set up Gillum.

Oh well I guess now you'll be doing Trump and the millions he's accepted from foreign governments

How many votes were purged in Georgia? Oh. I see the difference, It's as plain as .... well, you know.

This is literally the effect this story has on me.

This you report on but the illegal things Trump and his administration do are of no concern to you. This is why the press has a bad name . unbelievable

Tickets to Hamilton, really? Kushner took funding from Saudi and China

Really, people are worried about this when the president is KKK.

So? In comparison to Trump and the Republicans, tickets to a theatre show is literally nothing. Thanks for trying to political theatre yourself, though .

I have a big box filled with zero fucks to give for this tweet 🎁

And Donald Trump accepted billions from the Russians and Saudis

Well it’s definitely not worse than committing treason & conspiring with a foreign enemy to rig an election. Or Kavanaugh’s baseball tickets & $200,000 debt that was mysteriously paid. Or Trump & the Kushners profiting off his presidency w/ foreign governments GOPHypocrisy

Again tweeting the article of the tickets. Can not you publish an article about the green algae, the red tides or the blockade to the extension of medicaid

And the mud starts just flying. What a great country Trump has turned us into.

Brian Kemp is cheating in an election. Trump asked Putin for help with winning his election. Where are you for that FBI?

So the 2018 version of WhatAboutHerEmails is WhatAboutHisHamiltonTickets? Noted Politico.... BeBest

So..Mr Gillum said: he received free care as a child in the state if Florida, in a 2 parent household, then what does he need a billion dollars for? He, himself said care is available.

So what?

This is the dumbest GOP attempt at smearing a Dem's campaign that I have ever seen. Seriously? You spend months digging up dirt on your opponent, and your 'smoking gun' is a ticket to see Hamilton? OctoberSurpriseFAIL

SCOTUS: Gifts are not corruption. Quid pro quo is corruption. This contains no elements of the latter.

OMG! Free Hamilton tickets! The horror!

Are you serious right now The WH is in Putin’s pocket. Do better. Please. America deserves it.

And was he wearing a tan suit?

I'm not one for whataboutisms, but their sudden concern over ethics is amusing. This is nothing. He's fine.

wow, the scandal here. Not economic development. Whats next Les Miserables and hurricane disaster relief? Pulling straws here.

What a pointless rag you have become, politico.

He could shoot someone on 5th ave and we would still vote for him.

The Trump family deliberately stole from the American people for decades tthru tax schemes...but tix to a show? Oh the shame..

Uhhhhh. Emoluments Clause. Trump. When you decide to spend time on THAT issue you can get back to us on anything else. You think we don’t see this as a blatant attack on a non-white non-GOP candidate? Puhleeze, focus on any number of real issues. VoteBlue

So what. Pretty poor attack. Is it all you gop has? Pathetic.

Who cares? We have a traitor who is also mentally ill in the White House.

Meanwhile POTUS calls journalists the enemy of the people, is milking the USG for every Tax Dollar he can put in his pocket while he denies healthcare and wants to rob taxpayers of their social security.

Seriously Politico? You want to talk about theatre tickets? What’s Trump been up to these days? How bout his kids? Why dont you report on something important. No one gives a fuck about tickets to a play.

If only trump had accepted Hamilton tix the world wouldn’t be in this mess.

Old news

certainly worse than taking millions from NRA and Russia

But them emails

Let's talk about stealing the election, because this is not a story.

But that little racist robocall sanctioned by DeSantis no biggie right?

I see I’m not alone in my opinion on this lame story.

And?

Ok. What's that have to do with the price of beans

Ok so now we know who politico wants to win Trying to bring up anything to help the Republicans SMH!!?

😲 omg 😂😂😂(Thanks for taking us back to simpler times)

That's the worst they could get? Geeze

Idiocities1 Andrew Gillum accepted tickets to'Hamilton' from an undercover FBI agent leading a probe into the city’s economic development agency

No one gives a shit about Hamilton tickets when the freaking country is losing its grip on the first amendment, world peace, Social Security, Medicare, Religion influence in politics. What the F is wrong you reporting this shit?

VoteDeSantisFLGov

Oh, give your GOP crap a rest! EVERYONE know the republicans are the party of the corrupt, of white supremacists and of the elite, rich 1%.

Really. This is not voter suppression. This isn't repealing pre existing conditions. This is not keeping medicaid from low income people. Which, not expanding medicaid, automatically proves Republicans don't want healthcare for Americans and illegals didn't get help either.

Doesn’t the FBI have anything better to do?

So what!

So effing what? Don't talk to us about ethics while Trump is president! Yeah so effing what

Buried lede: The president is being investigated for *Conspiracy to defraud the United States of America*

Let the smears begin. They can’t win fair and square they will cheat

What the hell Politico? We have a president that’s a cancer and lies every DAY and your writing about Hamilton tickets? Get real and do real journalism.

if someone offers you Hamilton tickets you take the Hamilton tickets no questions asked you just put them right in your pocket because Hamilton tickets yo

So what? It’s a theater ticket his brother said he got for him. Move on.

Whoopy! Hang that one on the wall!

I voted for Gillum and tickets for a show will not change my mind. He is the better man. DeSantis is not in the same league. This issue while Trump is robbing us blind, lying and cheating at every turn is remarkable.

Hamilton tickets? Really? Productions are giving away complimentary tickets all the time.

Blatant voter suppression right in front of the world, a President who lies daily, children separated from parents, midterm elections 2 weeks away, a reporter tortured and murdered and this is what you choose to write about?

Really? The moron in the WH is doing major damage EVERYDAY and this is what you report? Seriously?

Yeah I don’t care.

You're a partisan rag Politico! How many millions Trump has made forcing government agencies to use his hotels as office space and your giving front page news to fucking theater tickets from an FBI agent who is only undercover to find political dirt for the Republicans to use

FBI putting its thumb on the scale again?

So fucken what.... Russia got trump millions in loans ... and the Saudis got Kushner by balls...!!!!

Unfollwed comey.. i mean politico

Honey, saying NO to Hamilton tickets would be the crime!!!!!

💤So what? Hamilton tickets are impossible to get. It would take an FBI agent to get them! VoteBlueAndBringAFriend VoteBlue

Just more bogus crap from the Republicans!! They are slinging so much mud this year that I can't believe it..all over the nation..Must be coming directly from the RNC!!

Did anyone hear today when trump confirm he's a nationalist....tickets to where. Who gives a shit. The president said he's basically a racist of sorts and blew his dog whistle today!

He should step down from the campaign. GillumvGollum

Lol. Who cares. Trump is president!

Who f***ing cares!

OMG! Now let’s see what freebies his Congressman opponent received! That’s not to excuse put to provide perspective. Seriously.

he theater tickets. Wooha!

Can the FBI get me a ticket? Please?

Yea, I don't care. Why are you stirring sh8 up over tickets?

Just stop

Donald Trump accepted the presidency of the USA from Russian interference leading a probe into our country’s democracy.

OMG! Trump got 30 million from Russia.

Please, for the love of God, please explain to me why the FBI is engaged in investigating a small city mayor taking tickets for a play as ' corruption ' . Want proof of the Cheeto Jesus twisting norms yo suit his momentary needs? Here it is.

And Trump got?

Lies. Stop spreading GOP bullshit. Trumo and DeSantis accented money from Russians.

That’s what the FBI is working on these days? Bribery through Broadway show tickets? 🤔

Running this again? For what?

This is the kind of crap journalism that got Trump elected.

So what's wrong with that? The man was undercover.

Well shit it’s not like he used his non profit to write a 25k political donation to the AG. Right?

Which doesn't seem so bad, but then he lied about it.

So? His opponent is a racist! Trump is making money off of the presidency! I don’t really care! Vote like your freedom depends on it

Questions: We know now that it was an undercover agent. Who did Gillum think it was? What wrongdoing actually is alleged here? If no wrongdoing is alleged, why root around in this until there is something to allege? I struggled to find the story.

Wow he’s the only politician in the USA to accept tickets and favors from republican donors

Who doesn’t want tickets to Hamilton...

SamScrogg Wow, Hamilton tickets. In consideration of all the corruption that Trump's cabinet members got away with, Hamilton tickets is not even newsworthy. Not at all.

So it seems we're getting a clear picture of FBI protocols. They won't drop big bombshells right before an election... if your name is Trump. But any Democrat, well, it's 'bombs away'! Yeah, but the FBI is anti-Trump. I gotcha...

You blew it. I had you on probation for spewing Trump talkng points out as news. I will now find out who owns you-share it and then unfollow!

Who cares?

The real question here is, “was the show good?”

Oh big deal. And Kushner has deals with the Saudis and they murder a journalist.

Black man allegedly accepts Hamilton tickets from an FBI agent and it's a big deal. realDonaldTrump is under investigation for colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, does business with the Saudi's and grabs women by their private parts; no big deal.

Soros paid for the tickets...😎😄

After the President’s constant violations we are going to talk about this?

Sounds like most of the GOP getting something for a vote. How about we talk about that?

Hamilton tickets? Seriously...that’s all you got? Take a look at your President

who the hell cares...Russia got realDonaldTrump the election. So if it ok for realDonaldTrump it should be ok for others

Oh right, hey republicans, GFY.

Oh, heavens! I've got the vapors! Someone catch me! I'm fainting! Next.

this is a setup by GOP--they are so afraid of losing

This. This is your story ?

Didn’t his opponent commit fraud, weaken nursing home regulations, allow polluters to destroy waterways, and ban references to Climate Change Cover the important news and quit with this nonsense.

So what The president is making millions by going to his properties and space rented at Trump tower for the SS. Not a peep from Republicans about that

Why is this such a big deal?

Oh pppplease.What abt DT & his posse’s corruption?

So what?

I just unfollowed Politico for teeeting this nonsense. Bye.

😱 say it ain’t so....back to Russia and the murder and dismembering of a journalist WHILE HE WAS EFFING ALIVE!!

JetBlue gave ME free tickets to Hamilton (I fly a LOT), so I guess I can’t run for public office now.

a sting op? very underhand of FBI

Your headline left out the part about how he lied about all this.

Wow..... Scott defrauded Medicare. Which is worse?

Corrupt politician, imagine what he would do in office

Really? This is a scandal? Give me a break.

Here we go...🙄😒

Seriously! Tickets to Hamilton? Clearly you reporters are board as hell! Please find something important to report!

Politico Unfollowed. Shame on you

Who fucking cares? Seriously. Tickets to a play? Similar to the Saudi government renting floors at Trump hotel, 200,000k tickets to Mar a Lago for New Years Eve, playing 200 rounds of golf on the taxpayers dime, a 36 K table for a department head’s office etc? Yeah right.

STOP IT!

And Donald Trump accepted election assistance from a foreign government which is a conspiracy against the United States. So stop this crap

Do what!

Oh you’re toast Jorge Ramos it sure looks like they got better times where they are now Y go forward? There is no reason to Bumb rush I solvent border it will be turned around...

Smart Man! I would love to see such an amazing show!

Oh, it's like he had sex with an adult film star, lied to her so that he could potentially do it again with promises of celebrity, paid her to keep quiet and called her horseface.

Telling this old news again? Shame

Politico, this is very disappointing. How desperate are you?

Kwame Brown. Marion Barry. Crooked black mayors get a new member to da club

The man he is running to replace has secret accounts in the Caymans, and was involved in the largest Medicaid fraud in the Country. But by all means- lets tall about Hamilton tickets.

Your double standards are showing. Just because the right wing are involved in actual corruption doesn’t mean that you have the make up scandals for this “both sides” bs. Come on.

A set-up.

Buried in this story, they indicate that it’s likely not a crime and there’s no quid pro quo known, so why is it being discussed like a confirmed scandal?

and did you ask where pence got his?

The Russians bought an election for the GOP... so what’s your point?

Current Governor Rick Scott ran a company involved in the nation's largest Medicare fraud case, oh I forgot he’s white. Oh the horror a black man gets tickets to a play featuring black people playing white people.

Seriously? There are Republicans running as white nationalists and we are supposed to care about free tickets to a play! DeSantis couldn't even answer simple questions about his plans for Florida in the debate. What a disgrace.

Ooooo🙄

What a weak ass story politico....

A public lynching by conservative media.

Wow, it's as bad as conspiring with the Russians to win an election.

So! Tickets to Hamilton. Is. That the best you got?

He took a bribe, then publicly lied about it.

It would be nice if you went after real criminals like the so-called president & his family & cabinet

I bet he was more welcome than VP

sounds like a set up. fbi are not usually ticket agents.

Unfollowed.

Ha, just shows how highbrow this guy is.... at least he didn't spend thousands on a desk... or curtains.... or take his wife on trips .... etc etc.... he went to a play!

Give me a break. Why the heck is no one talking about this: DeSantis Ethics Complaint

Tronald rump praises murderers and here we are on Hamilton tickets ? No . Go bother someone else today

Right!! Because NOW the GOP has a problem with ethics?!?! Give me a freaking break!!

Shame on you

RT this story to everyone you know who lives in Fl

And there was no pay for play. Meanwhile, Trump accepted the presidency from Russia, so, let's keep our priorities in order.

Meanwhile. The president is making money off of us while being president.

Free Hamilton tickets will sink a Democrat but adultery and corruption win you a race if you’re Republican. Noted.

Please don’t tell me fbi was really involved and no one could care less about Hamilton tickets . As much as I am a proponent of fbi esp in comparison to djt etc , no you didn’t - you didn’t .

Who gives a fuck?

Oh my gawd the humanity 🙄

Can he get me some Hamilton tickets?

1) They tried to set him up. 2) There’s no evidence of quid pro quo. 2) He has receipts showing he paid for travel to Costa Rica via his AX 3) He’s never named as a suspect 4) Other than sensationalism and gop hysteria, there doesn’t seem to be much here.

Those tickets are 190 bucks on Google conservatives that's nothing surprised this is even news compared the TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars you guys get exposed on from curtains to phone booths to condos...please with your SELECTIVE outrage trust me you DONT wanna go there VoteBlue

🙄🙄🙄

Nothingburger

When the Russians steal the Florida elections in Florida, the Media will use Hamilton Tickets to cover it up.

😱😱😱😱😱 meanwhile Ron desantis denies science and thinks solar energy won’t help the sunshine state. Oh thats right FPL contributes millions to his campaign.

Glad it wasn’t tickets to Cats. Then I’d be pissed!

Oh the horror! Anybody heard of Sec Tom Price's taxpayer travel! Did KellyannePolls pay back her share!?

I'm muting until after the midterms. This crap is getting ridiculous.

And Kemp is literally stealing the Georgia election, but her emails, his Hamilton ticket. We are not falling for this okey-doke w/democracy at stake, and what about Scott and Medicaid fraud....oh I get it, those Hamilton tickets though

good thing doesn't have Access Hollywood Tape that would certainly doom a candidate

And Politico is trying to wreck his campaign? Time to unfollow.

Oh no not Hamilton

Honestly, that's the best investigative reporting Politico is capable of? HAMILTON tickets? Talk about an imbalance in priorities. And dont forget the time Hitler shushed someone in the library. How rude!

Until he makes racist statements, molests women,commits treason...he can stay with the Dems side

Is it the same as colluding with the Russians to meddle an election, sell sensitive information,favor oligarchs,assault women, divide a nation,enable sexual predators & (I'm exhausted)evade paying taxes & cheat wives 😑

And Trump and his family committed treason. Are you TRYING to destroy our country?

This is a scandal? Then what is all the shit that’s been happening in the trump admin the past two years

You mean the same FBI that your President discredits on a daily and consist basis?

...that's what they got....tickets to see a musical we recorded...dude, didn't dubbed it....FBI, just messing with you...' we the people ' have never bootlegged movies......wheel ups

This is BS!

Let's just call this like it is: Gillum is much smarter than his opponent. He has better policy proposals. He believes in basic human rights. He also believes in science. And you feel like you need to create fake scandals to level the playing field into a horserace. Shameful.

He received the tickets from his brother when they got to the theater. But, OMG! What ever will we do? Big question here is, is his brother an undercover FBI agent? Humm

But her emails.....

So he got tickets to go to a play...man that is nefarious..a play !!! FFS is that what it's coming to ?

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. It's one freaking ticket, seriously
