We continue our exposé on the extremist far-right who openly operate and have thoroughly infiltrated the Miami GOP — Proud Boys, QAnons, Moms 4 Liberty & more.

On Friday 4/15 the GOP hosted a voter registration event featuring “special guest” Scott Presler. Let’s dive in! 🔥

We will detail how nearly every single attendee was connected to the far-right. #ProudBoys #QAnon #Moms4Liberty

Buckle up. We have some new reveals that you will not want to miss — including a SPECIAL LIST at the end. 🔥🔥☕️☕️

Referenced articles + threads posted at the end.

Let’s start with “special guest” far-right provocateur and issue hoper Scott Presler — he got his start with the anti-Muslim hate group ACT for America, more recently a QAnon promoter and identified as a core Jan 6th Stop the Steal organizer.

Event organizer was the pasty Miami GOP executive director, Brandon Diaz. We exposed his GF Barbara Balmaseda #PinkGaiterPBG as being inside the Capitol w the Proud Boys on Jan 6.

Barbara was listed as the Miami GOP Voter Registration officer but her name has since been wiped.

Let’s introduce the Proud Boys attending this Miami GOP voter registration drive.

Meet Chris Barcenas. Proud Boy, failed realtor, Jan 6 insurrectionary (see #USAPB) and an “elected official for the Miami-Dade Republican Party.”

As we will reveal, he’s not the only one. ⏰

Next up we have a Proud Boy with a serious rap sheet, the “low libido” Nowell Salgueiro.

This wannabe gangster assaulted a journalist last year at a school board meeting and is linked to postings calling for “Right-Wing Death Squads.”

Perfect GOTV material! 🗳

Nowell even live-streamed from the event using the Floridians First Instagram account — a fake patriot front group run by South Florida Proud Boys.

Eulalia Jimenez is the Miami chapter leader of Moms for Liberty who openly works w the Miami Proud Boys. She’s even hooked up w 10 yrs younger Chris Barcenas.

We exposed her as a QAnon follower + linked her to multiple harassment campaigns, which earned her a restraining order.

Now let’s introduce the M4L activists: realtor Lourdes Galban, @scoutandcellar sales rep Stephanie Gonzalez, @CityofMiami employee Katrina Tusitala and Nadia Decker.

They were also active until recently in a far-right/M4L front group called Florida Women Forward.

That was until things went south and Florida Women Forward president Marivi Betancourt filed on April 6 to remove Katrina, Nadia and Stephanie from the board.

This led to an acrimonious and messy spilt as M4L + Proud Boys denounced Marivi. (See thread with details at the end).

Let’s further connect FWF and the extremist far-right.

Watch Miami QAnon influencer Isabella Rodriguez, who attended the voter registration event and is a former FWF board member, talk about supporting “patriot” candidates through FWF.

Let’s meet Isabella Rodriguez who works as a corporate recruiter under Secured Talent LLC. #RedPillBabe

A prolific QAnon personality, Isabella has been written on extensively and is a former admin of the main QAnon telegram channel We the Media.

(References at end of thread)

Isabella, who has had her accounts nuked many times for conspiracy content, attended Jan 6, the Red Pill Road Show and organized an Aug 2020 “Save the children” rally in Miami holding a pizzagate sign.

Flat earth, reptilians, child trafficking, anti-vaxx … 100% QAnon.

Next up is Linda Catalina Cuadros. #WakeUpWithLinda

Best buddies with Isabella, Linda is a podcaster + fascist social media grifter-personality we’ve documented extensively as well.

She promotes Putin, rabid anti-LGBTQ content, Pinochet helicopter death threats + close w PBs.

Linda also has a legal history including suing and losing vs Miami-Dade County on mask mandates + appears as a co-plaintiff on Trump’s lawsuit against Twitter — too bad she got banned again for threats against our account.

She’s also known for her trolling and unhinged rants.

Last we have Miami CCDF, County Citizens Defending Freedom, a far-right Christian nationalist group w links to QAnon and former Trump advisor Micheal Flynn.

Last Friday we exposed CCDF Miami staffer + QAnon Alan Chovel as a Jan 6 insurrectionist who was on stage w DeSantis.

As we documented, Alan Chovel has a close relationship with the Proud Boys and is active in the Miami GOP. A former fire fighter he currently owns Chovel Construction LLC.

In this pic we also have local CCDF executive director Alejandro “Alex” Serrano of Key Biscayne.

Miami CCDF executive director Alejandro “Alex” Serrano of Key Biscayne also has his kids at the anti-vax private school Centner Academy which charges $20-30k per year in tuition.

Here’s Alex speaking at a CCDF meeting held at Centner Academy.

Also good to note that Miami CCDF invited Christopher Monzon to become their “Hialeah Municipal Director.”

Known as the “Cuban Confederate” he attended the 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist march with League of the South and still posts pro-Confederate content on his fb.

As we showed, nearly every single person at this voter reg event organized by exec director Brandon Diaz had connections to extremist far-right politics. No wonder the Proud Boys thank him.

In fact, we hear Brandon is leaving his position early due to all the heat. 🔥🔥🔥

But we’re not done yet. 👀

We’ve obtained a list of the currently elected 2021-2022 Republican Executive Committee. Look closely because you’ll see many of the same far-right extremists mentioned in this thread and others we’ve covered.

The best is yet to come! 🔥🔥

Currently taking a cafecito break and will add all the references later tonight. ☕️

Be sure to follow us at @MIAagainstFash so you don’t our next exposé and the upcoming episode of Miami’s Most Fascist.

And now we start the references and links but first we need to repost content that Twitter is suppressing in our thread.

This is the tweet that Twitter is hiding on Isabella Oneida Rodriguez aka #RedPillBabe

Original image collages are included here as well.

As a co-host with Linda Caudros of the “Mostly Peaceful Latinas” podcast, together numerous publications mentioning her account and connection to QAnon, she’s absolutely qualifies as a public figure (see next tweet for links).

Connections to QAnon:

Involvement in J6 planning:

On Brandon Diaz and the Proud Boys openly working within the @MiamiDadeGOP see this thread.

Back in September we documented a far-right group APC Foundation (now defunct) celebrating Brandon Diaz’s appointment as “our APC people.”

The telegram chat for the group is full of QAnon and anti-vaccine conspiracy content.

Here’s one of the threads details detailing Brandon Diaz’s girlfriend Barbara Balmaseda #PinkGaiterPBG marching with the Miami Proud Boys and key leaders at Stop the Steal rallies and Jan 6 inside the Capitol.

This is ironic. Brandon Diaz organized this voter registration event but Barbara “Barby” Balmaseda was listed as the Voter Registration Chair on the Miami GOP website up until we exposed her.

Since then they’ve wiped her name and it’s blank.

Forgot to include this gem. 💎

Almost 20 people attended but only a measly 13 registrations were completed. One of them was a participant Stephanie Gonzalez changing her registration to Republican from Independant.

All the work and now heartache for only 13 potential votes! 😂

Pics of Linda Cuadros #WakeUpWithLinda, Moms for Liberty and Isabella Rodriguez #RedPillBabe posting about the event and their participation.

Receipts on Chris Barcenas, Miami Proud Boy and Jan 6 rioter.

His involvement has been very public since he was named early on we got him fired from his realtor job. Look for Chris in this video on the steps wearing a white hat.

If you need help picking out the hat Chris Barcenas was wearing at Jan 6, it’s the same one he’s wearing here with his M4L lady Eulalia Jimenez.

That’s how he got the #USAPB hashtag.

Moving to the “low libido” Proud Boy Nowell Salgueiro, here’s our original expose on him and his criminal record.

He’s a wannabe gangster who sits on the Miami Republican Executive Board too.

Nowell was also linked to the harassment campaigns and calls for “Right-Wing Death Squads” in this thread.

He was outed by former M4L activist Alixandra Caballero after a falling out/break up between them.

This thread details the falling out between Marivi Bentancourt of Florida Women Forward and Alixandra Caballero with the Proud Boys and M4L. Lots of juicy details here.

More on Isabella and her QAnon connections. Second tweet has more personal details on her.

More video on Isabella #RedPillBabe discussing QANon with Seth Caro a former pastry chef and 2010 Top Chef Just Desserts contestant who famously quit — now he’s a QAnon surfer reggae artist under the name “Venice Beach Dub Club.”

Moving to Linda Catalina Cuadros, here’s the details on her getting banned from Twitter a SECOND time for threats against our account and appearing on Trump’s lawsuit.

The judge will have a good laugh when he sees this. 😂

More on Linda’s unhinged Pinochet death threats after we exposed her and the far-right school board activists.

Forgot to include Isabella #RedPillBabe and her promotion of white nationalist “It’s okay to be white” content.

Linda #WakeUpWithLinda and her fan base are no strangers to fascism. Just take a look at her telegram comments and the memes promoting Spain’s fascist dictator Franco.

This “reject degeneracy, embrace tradition” content is right out of the white supremacist playbook, usually referred to as “traditionalism.”

Ironic as Colombian immigrant who came to the US at 13 years old.

Moving to CCDF, watch the full interview of Alex Serrano and Alan Chovel here.

Check out this Media Matters piece looking at CCDF’s role in book banning in Polk County, FL.

Learn all about CCDF’s Hialeah Municipal Director Christopher Monzon, also known as the guy arrested and serving time for attacking protesters in Hollywood, FL with a confederate flag.

Video of the incident is in the thread.

@threadreaderapp unroll and create an archive of this thread that will never disappear and remain searchable on google forever and ever. 😎

Adding another reference on Linda Catalina Caudros #WakeUpWithLinda and her now deleted anti-vaccine content.

Her and Bella #RedPillBabe are trying to reinvent themselves by scrubbing their old content but we won’t let them get away with it. The internet is forever.
