Greer said the "whack-a-do right wing crazy" wing of the party was trying to keep minorities from voting.
"The party says one thing, but behind the scenes does something else," said Greer. He's talking about, in part, Governor Rick Scott's administration's effort to purge voter lists across the state. The administration called it a way to improve the integrity of Florida elections.
"There is a culture in the Republican Party that deals with minority voters and there is a belief that minority voters are not going to vote Republican," said Greer.
"You have to remember the Republican Party can't control what they do in the polling booth. Since the Republican Party and its leadership controls everything that happens in Florida, they can keep them from ever getting to the polling booth," said Greer from his Oviedo home.
While some in the GOP say Greer is just looking for revenge, he maintains he still loves the Republican Party, but doesn't love what it stands for when it comes to suppressing minority participation.
