Asked point blank Monday night by debate moderator Chris Matthews,
“Did you speak up at the time against the congressional action,” Attorney General Charlie Crist replied: “Yes, I did.”“It made my jaw drop,” Michael Schiavo said from his Clearwater home Tuesday. “The man lied through his teeth.”Schiavo fought both the state and federal governments to let him take his wife off life support after she had spent 15 years in a vegetative state. “The man ran from this like the plague. And now he’s going to say he spoke up? He did not. He didn’t say a word.”
On Tuesday, after a Cabinet meeting in Tallahassee, Crist said “there are varying degrees” of speaking up. He said he spoke up in private conversations with his colleagues in the attorney general’s office and with friends that government should stay out of the dispute between Terri Schiavo’s husband and her family.
