Florida Governor's PR flak never registered as a foreign agent for her work for the country of Georgia 2018-2020. She's just registered belatedly under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the law that Congress passed after Nazi agents were discovered to be in America, lobbying for Adolf Hitler and Nazi corporations.
Governor DeSANTIS's ethically-challenged spokeswoman, CHRISTINA PUSHAW, sent him a fan letter and he hired her.
Now we learn she was a Foreign Agent.
CHRISTINA PUSHAW belated registered with the U.S. Department of Justice as a foreign agent on Monday, June 6, 2022, giving as her address the State Capitol Building at 400 South Monroe Street in Tallahassee.

Based on her record of malarkey, flummery, dupery, nincompoopery and attack doggery, I've always considered PUSHAW to be a Certified Weird Agent.
Now we know she's a registered Foreign Agent.
DeSantis defends Christina Pushaw after report of her registering as foreign agent

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday defended his press secretary, Christina Pushaw, after The Washington Post reported that Pushaw this week registered as a foreign agent because of previous work for the former president of the country of Georgia.
The Post report said Pushaw “belatedly” registered as a foreign agent of Mikheil Saakashvili after working for Saakashvili from 2018 to 2020.
The Post quoted Pushaw’s attorney as saying that the U.S. Department of Justice had contacted Pushaw to inform her of a requirement to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Democrats, including Florida gubernatorial candidates Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist, quickly criticized DeSantis and Pushaw.
But asked about the Post story, DeSantis described it as a “smear” against Pushaw.
“I am not deterred by any smear piece from these legacy media outlets. The only reason they’re attacking her is because she does a great job, and she’s very effective at calling out their lies and their phony narratives. And so, whenever they’re smearing somebody, you know that person is over the target, and so they’re scared of that. I would be much more concerned with my press secretary if The Washington Post was writing puff pieces about her,” DeSantis said.
Pushaw has become a controversial figure as press secretary, frequently clashing with critics of DeSantis on Twitter. The biography on her Twitter profile says that she is “debunking false Narratives about Florida” and the governor.
Pushaw also responded to the article in an interview Wednesday with WPTV News. “The governor said it better than I could. It is an attempt at a smear. It’s non-news,” she said, adding that she “worked for a Ukrainian politician, former president of Georgia, ending in 2020. I started working in Florida six months later, so it has nothing to do with my work in Florida.”

Pushaw is a biggot..and a shady, far right weasel. It would be funny if DeSantis was ousted...but the far right propaganda has devastated the minds of the people in this state.. especially the rural Christian terrorist neanderthals. Gonna take a miracle to turn it around. Vote blue no matter who!
