This is a remarkable story. Miami Dade may not be the only Florida county in which the GOP planted a fake candidate to siphon off votes from a Democratic candidate for state legislature. It happened in Seminole county too. But the local prosecutor there won’t investigate. 😳 1/
Fortunately, @Scott_Maxwell and @orlandosentinel are on the case. I recommend following Maxwell and whatever he and others uncover in Seminole county. 2/
Seminole county is the county where the infamous Joel Greenberg (of Matt Gaetz infamy) is from. It appears the rot there may run deep and wide. 3/
6/ More about DeMint’s “challenger” Alvin Green. cc: @JimSoper
7/ And let us not forget that Joel Greenberg (R) stalked and defamed his primary challenger Brian Beute (R) in the tax assessor’s race in Seminole county, Florida. Beute alleges that DeSantis was complicit in covering up Greenberg’s crimes against him.
Good Gawd. Seminole County Election Supervisor Chris Anderson flew with Joel Greenberg to Miami for a meeting w/ Matt Gaetz in 2017. That same weekend, Gaetz, Greenberg, and Roger Stone dined together. But it is unclear if Anderson attended the dinner. 14/ orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-pr…
Jason Brodeur is the Republican who may have won due to a fake candidate who siphoned votes from the Democrat. Nice to see Seminole County election supervisor Chris Anderson was palling around with him. 😳15/
22/ Ertel. DeSantis made this guy Secretary of State, Florida’s top election official. (Ertel resigned after 5 days due to the black face scandal.) Unbelievable. 😳
23/ Here are screenshots from a memo I created to help keep track of the sham candidates in Florida. I need to add Seminole County. Based on Eric’s thread, it looks like there may be one more as well.
24/ I don’t think this is 2020. Will check in a bit. At soccer game.

In 2024, a handful of very wealthy right wing men—Leonard Leo, Dick Uihlein, Charles Koch, & Jeff Yass—will target STATE judicial elections in an effort to “make their personal agendas into binding law.” (New report by True North, 4/24/24) 1/ truenorthresearch.org/2024/04/report…

@thelisagraves 3/ This report is an incredible resource. Wow. Here’s just the part on SCOTUS puppeteer Leonard Leo.
😳”Kingdom Ministries” & “The Collective” are holding workshops on how to “stop the bleed” & tie a tourniquet, as well as “chest seal application,” firearms training, & ‘high stress” team communications. (The Collective’s website lists 7 Mountain dominionists Jenny Donnelly & Lou Engle as leaders.) by @dhbonny 1/ @FBI yoursourceone.com/columbia_basin…
In 2023, Heritage boasted that “The Left is right to fear our plan [Project 2025] to gut the federal bureaucracy.” After backlash, they falsely accused “liberal media” of exaggerating their intentions: “We’re not out to…radically restructure the whole system.” Uh huh. Listen 1/
Robert George—a Leonard Leo confidante & Princeton professor—claims that embryos are “persons” under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, giving them equal protection under the law. Translation: abortion = murder, and states have NO right to allow abortion access. 1/
2/ Robert George made these remarks during an appearance two years ago on EWTN, the largest Catholic media network in the country. Here’s the link.
3/ Here’s a great article by John Gehring that discusses, among other things, Robert George’s close relationship with SCOTUS puppet master Leonard Leo. ncronline.org/news/leonard-l…
JD Vance is reportedly on Trump’s VP short list after billionaire Peter Thiel spent $10 million to get Vance elected. Vance apparently thinks that women should remain in violent marriages. Christian extremists love him. 1/ #BiblicalPatriarchy
They scammed the country. Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch says that abortion isn’t a “states rights” issue after all. Nope. They plan to use the 14th Amendment to overturn state constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights. He also calls SCOTUS the “Leo court.” 1/
