EXPOSED! A Miami GOP activist linked to local @MiamiDadeGOP leadership is revealed to be a Jan 6th insurrectionist who marched with the Proud Boys and was inside the Capitol! 🏛

Meet Barbara Balmasada, aka Barby, aka #PinkGaiterPBG. Guess her political career is over! 🥴

This is significant not only because of Barby’s role as a GOP operative but also her boyfriend, Brandon Diaz, is the executive director of the Miami-Dade GOP — who we’ve previously linked to far-right politics.

@MiamiDadeGOP

As we’ve reported on previously, members of the Proud Boys operate openly within the local GOP, even holding elected roles.

And we also know Adolfo is not the only one and that Brandon Diaz is perfectly fine with it. Now it’s making more sense.

For more on Brandon Diaz and his links to local far-right political groups and the Proud Boys working within the Miami-Dade GOP, see this thread.

Also good to note that Barbara Balmasada of Miami, aka Barby, aka #PinkGaiterPBG is also has alternate the hashtags as #pinkpbgirl and #insider1407.
