Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr collects a six-figure annual salary from Florida's largest for-profit charter school company while legislating the destruction of public schools, misappropriating millions of tax dollars to his own employers #BecauseFlorida: sun-sentinel.com/local/miami-da…

Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr slashed public school safety funds by over $11 million prior to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, then voted NO on a special session to address gun violence #BecauseFlorida: miamiherald.com/news/local/new…

Florida ranks at bottom for education spending; Diaz colluded with @ErikFresenFL (brother-in-law of his charter school employer) to give charters more money with less accountability. Fresen went to jail for not filing a tax return during 8 years in office. miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…

These charter schools @SenMannyDiazJr gets paid to pimp while legislating the destruction of public schools are just another Florida fraud: we top the nation in charter school closures #BecauseFlorida redefinedonline.org/2016/02/florid…

After Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr voted against hearing a post-Parkland massacre assault weapons ban bill, he liked an article by sexist homophobe accusing Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School survivors of "lying" #BecauseFlorida: miaminewtimes.com/news/florida-l…

GOP @SenMannyDiazJr was accused of "malicious lobbying" for MCM, the construction company owned by @RepCarlos' family, whose negligence and pay-to-play political connections to @marcorubio led to the FIU bridge collapse that killed 6 people #BecauseMiami: miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/…

And Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr was accused of being a "pervert" and "inappropriate teacher" by his former students at Hialeah Miami Lakes High School #BecauseMiami miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…

Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr sent cease-and desist to radio show for airing allegations that he was a "pervert" and "inappropriate teacher” “who talked about rolling at [Club] Space" by his former students at Hialeah Miami Lakes High School #BecauseMiami floridapolitics.com/archives/39513…

And now Florida GOP @SenMannyDiazJr wants to "review" existing non-COVID vaccine mandates that have eradicated diseases and kept us safe for decades. This is homicidal recklessness and the opposite of virtue signaling (asshole signaling?). #BecauseFlorida floridapolitics.com/archives/45880…
