The Miami Herald and other outlets are reporting that rising Democratic star Andrew Gillum, who in 2018 came within 34,000 votes of becoming Florida’s governor, was discovered by police at a South Beach hotel early Friday morning in a room with bags of crystal meth and in the company of a man who appeared to have overdosed. Police say they were called to the Mondrian South Beach and found paramedics treating Travis Dyson, a 30-year-old Miami man, for an apparent heart attack. They say two other men were in the room: Aldo Mejias and Gillum.
What they aren't saying is why Gillum -- a 40-year-old father of three who has been married to his wife since 2009 -- was partying with Dyson, a nurse practitioner in training slash 'ROIDY RENTBOY, although I can think of a few reasons.
Come out, come out, whoever you are
Gillum, who is also a CNN contributor, had this to say about the incident: “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.”
He continued, without even a hint of irony: “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.”
Miami New Times reached a recovering Dyson by phone just after noon. Asked about the wedding celebration referenced by Gillum, Dyson seemed confused.
"I personally was not celebrating a wedding. I don't know if [Gillum] was in town for a wedding. He did not mention that," Dyson said. Dyson said he has known Gillum since around last spring. "We've been friends for a while," Dyson said. He then went silent on the phone and did not answer subsequent calls from New Times. No arrests were made.
Yikes.
At least former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist -- the personification of a messy closet case -- won his election.

First, rentboy is hot AF . Second , guilty people don’t usually stick around to try to clean up the mess. If it wasn’t too expensive I would tap that. If there is a serious issue , the Gillum wife will tell us about it with a divorce lawyer. All consenting adults , no compromising photos . Everybody move along here , unless you can prove something. He certainly is no Lindseybelle, like Charlie Christ.
I’ve stayed several times at the hotel in the Palm Springs pic. Didn’t see him there though!
