Florida GOP David Rivera Most Anti-Communist

He knows, like the best of charlatans who use pain and loss for political gain, how to play the game of conning Cuban and Venezuelan exiles.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most anti-Communist of them all?
Why Cuban American Republican David Rivera!

But campaign shenanigans are child’s play compared to the role Rivera is now playing — caught in bed with the enemy for cash, a $50 million consulting contract with a subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company to clean up its tattered image in the United States. HERE

Florida's Culture Of Corruption

Corporations that pollute have been donating to the GOP, to Florida Realtors and to the Florida Chamber of Commerce. In turn those organizations promote and endorse the candidates with the failing voting records on water. Those candidates look the other way while corporations like Big Sugar lobby to weaken water protections. Many politicians like to say they are strong on water but they don't do what it would actually take to keep our waters clean. For example, Rooney has a F voting record on water and he took money from the oil industry. HERE

Florida's Rancid Case Of Quid Pro Quo

In a bizarre case of corruption, the governor of Florida decided that WWE wrestlers are “essential” employees amid the coronavirus because he didn’t like the void of sports on television.

Sports reporter David Zirin found that on April 9 DeSantis declared wrestlers essential workers in the state. The exact same day, Linda McMahon, the co-founder of the WWE with her husband Vince McMahon, announced that her super PAC was going to spend $18.5 million in the state of Florida. McMahon is also a member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet. HERE

Florida GOP Desperate

Already, Florida Republicans have instituted what amounts to a poll tax on former felons. And now, on Tuesday, state GOP lawmakers snuck a provision into a bill that would shield the public from accessing records of how many have had their voting rights restored. HERE

They are desperately trying to find ways to keep disenfranchising ex-felons — many of them black voters who overwhelmingly vote Democratic and thus could impact the GOP's stranglehold on the state.
