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! 🥴
All photos from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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 All images from public sour...
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.

A special update on the Hitler praising antisemitic Florida lawyer William Bavier who we revealed Last year to be behind the infamous “attorney fren” Twitter persona.

He is now working immigration cases for the prominent Miami law firm of Alex Hanna @AlexHannaLawyer 1/ Top left: Screen shot of Alex Hanna law firm website which advertises immigration services. Top right: Twitter post by William Bavier aka “attorney fren” posting a GIF of Hitler with text “I miss him 😢😭” Bottom left: LinkedIn profile picture of Miami-Fort Lauderdale attorney William Bavier, aka “attorney fren.” Bottom right: Dec 18, 2023 Facebook post by Alex Hanna law firm with William Bavier in center. All images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
How did we find him?

Easy. William Bavier, aka “attorney fren,” has a Florida bar profile which lists his email address as “” and it took only minutes to find him in a December 2023 social media post from Alex Hanna’s law firm @AlexHannaLawyer. 2/ alexhanna.com

Hey @AlexHannaLawyer is this the type of racist bigot you want on your team handling immigration cases?

The holidays are coming early for South Florida’s Proud Boys! 🎁🕎

Let’s give a warm introduction to 29 year old Jan 6 rioter Brian Patrick Connerton of Sunrise, FL. This Proud Boy is also formerly streamer “lauderdudecreates” and the nerdy Souncloud rapper “yung caprisun.” 1/ Top left: Proud Boy Brian Connerton at a BBQ meet up for Floridians First, a defunct Proud Boy front group run by Broward attorney & Proud Boy Gabe Carrera. Top right: Brian with former PB leader Enrique Tarrio posted on his “lauderdudecreates” account. Bottom left: Brain, highlighted by blue square, inside one of the tunnels leading inside the Capitol on J6. Bottom center: Brain posing in a group picture with Broward Proud Boys. Bottom right: Brian holding a sign near the Capitol building on Jan 6. All photos from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-r...
In July 2023 the Broward Proud Boys made the mistake of posting this group picture of themselves in a lonely industrial lot.

We instantly recognized Brian (bottom left), who was previously identified but missing his own thread, and we also learned he was still active! 2/ Note the Totenkopf Nazi SS image over the face of the bottom center Proud Boy, likely Miami Villain City Proud Boy Alex Gonzalez.
We have Brian Connerton ID’d in this new member recruitment photo from spring 2021 with a gray shirt & his signature backwards hat.

Four others in this photo have since been exposed w Brian now making it five. Most have dropped away & Tarrio now rots in federal prison. 3/ Other Proud Boys exposed in this photo: Alesandro “Al” Valentino #ButterFingersPB - Left with black tank top and American flag shorts. Chris Barcenas - Next to Al with red shirt and sun glasses. Derek Walker - Bald head right of Tarrio. Joseph “Delly” Dellgata - Right of Derek with black shorts and Proud Boys Did Nothing Wrong shirt.

This Saturday, Oct 21, anti-LGBTQ groups Moms for Liberty & others will once again be spreading hate in Fort Lauderdale.

Today we will introduce a participant of the previous Dec 6, 2022 held by all the same groups: Say hello to Gisela Suarez @GISELS007 of Sunrise, FL. 👋 1/ Top left: Flyer for Oct 21, 2023 rally held by Moms for Liberty and similar far-right groups. The flyer is nearly a duplicate of the Dec 6, 2022 rally held by all the same groups and which hosted a large contingent of Proud Boys. Top right: Gisela Suarez holding a sign at the Dec 6 rally. Photo posted on her public social media account. Bottom left: telegram profile for Gisela showing her name and with nearly identical username to her Instagram account. Bottom right: Gisela posting in the telegram group of “Revolution of Revival” a religious group organized by Miami based far-right QA...
Gisela Suarez of Sunrise, FL is in deep with far-right politics: anti-vaccine, pizzagate conspiracy, gay people are the devil and in her own words is familiar with the Proud Boys who attended the Dec 3, 2022 rally. 2/

But Gisela Suarez is not just a random far-right poster — she appears to be a current or former member of the Broward GOP executive committee (BREC) and is serving on the @cityofsunrise Sunrise Social Services Advisory Board.

Posting horny on main is not a good look either! 3/ Image

ALERT! 🚨Once again hate mongers like realtor Elon Gerberg, Miami Moms for Liberty head Eulalia Jimenez & LGBTQ hate crime promoter Chris Nelson will attempt to invade the gayest and bluest county of Broward with Proud Boys & hate on Sat, Oct 21st.

Let’s dive in. 🧵 1/ Image
Last year the same coalition of far-right anti-LGBTQ groups held an identical rally on Las Olas which played host to two dozen out of town Proud Boys.

Spotted at the Dec 3, 2022 rally was Proud Boy Kenneth Bonawitz — since then he was arrested and is currently in federal detention without bail for participating in violence & wielding a knife on Jan 6th. 3/
