FL-GOV: Crist Using Daughter Of Slain Civil Rights Leader In Ad -- But She's Staying Out Of Race
GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist is trying to use the daughter of a slain civil rights leader in a political ad -- even though the daughter has told friends she doesn't want to play a part in the race. The Tampa Tribune reports that the Crist campaign sent a crew to film the woman, Evangeline Moore, 76, the daughter of murdered civil rights activists Harry and Hariette Moore. Family friends tell the paper that Ms. Moore thought she was recording a "thank you" message to Crist, the Florida Attorney General, who's reopened an election-year investigation into the murders. Now the Crist camp is refusing to say whether they want to use the footage in an ad -- and friends of Ms. Moore are crying foul. More details here.
