This is not just
another bizarre “Florida Man” news story.
It’s the story of one of the darlings of the Democrat Party caught in a
drug-fueled party with naked gay men in a hotel room.
According to a published
report in USA Today, Andrew Gillum, former mayor of Tallahassee and 2018
Democratic nominee for governor of the Sunshine State, was involved in a meth
overdose incident in the wee hours of Friday morning in a Miami Beach hotel
room.
When cops arrived they
found plastic baggies with crystal meth out in the open on the bed and floor of
the hotel room. Gillum was there with
two other men. One had to be treated for
a possible drug overdose.
The man being treated was
Travis Dyson, who according to WPLG
Local 10 in Miami, “identifies as a pornstar performer and mentions gay
massages in a Rent Men profile.” His Instagram
account, now made private, shares sexual videos of him with a “muscular man” in
a thong he identified as Dyson’s boyfriend.
After the Miami Herald got hold of the police report exposing
Gillum to a scandal, he released a statement to the Miami Herald describing Dyson
as a “friend”.
"I was in Miami
last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to
assist one of my friends. While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear
that I have never used methamphetamines. I apologize to the people of Florida
for the distraction this has caused our movement.”
“I’m thankful to the
incredible Miami Beach EMS team for their efforts. I will spend the next few
weeks with my family and appreciate privacy during this time.”

PD police report here.
Gillum is no
stranger to scandal. His 2018 gubernatorial campaign began to falter after revelations
surfaced about his interactions with lobbyists and undercover FBI agents
during out-of-town trips.
You might assume the
story ends there. You would be
wrong. Tallahassee
Reports reveals “at least nine law enforcement officials responded to
the call, including three captains.”
The incident did not
result in any arrests. Why not? The presence of such high-ranking law
enforcement officials raises some serious questions. You know where I’m going with this.
Miami Beach Mayor Dan
Gelber, who donated $1,000 to Gillum’s gubernatorial campaign told reporters, “There
does not exist an active investigation surrounding this matter. I have no further comment.”
The final police
report, which has apparently been amended several times, indicates a
photographer was on the scene and “BWC USED”.
The acronym BWC refers to Body Worn Camera.
Somebody needs to make
a FOIA request for the video before its magically inadvertently erased. If it is true that there are 768 sealed indictments
in the North Florida District, how many have Gillum’s name on them?
Gelber, according to his
Wikipedia profile,
served in the Florida Legislature from 2000 to 2010 and the Democratic nominee
for Attorney General of Florida in 2010.
I smell RICO organized crime activity.
It seems appropriate to
quote Walter White (Bryan Cranston) from the hit TV show Breaking Bad:
“If
you don’t know who I am, then maybe your best course would be to tread
lightly.”
