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! 🔥 Flyer and photos from the 4...
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. Group picture of participan...
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. Top left: Scott Presler at ...
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. Pictures showing Brandon Di...
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. ⏰ Left: Photo showing Miami P...
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! 🗳 Too left: Nowell with Miami...
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. Eulalia Jimenez with Proud ...Eulalia Jimenez at a Moms f...
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. Event photos.   All photos ...Top left: Nadia Decker, Lyn...
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). Sunbiz filings for Florida ...Screen shots from M4L teleg...
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.

FWF Sunbiz: bit.ly/37M2Mpp
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) Too left and right: Isabell...Top left: Story posting to ...
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. Top left and right: Linda C...Top left: Linda at a Stop t...
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. Top and bottom left, bottom...Top left: Alan Shovel at a ...Left: Alan in DC on Jan 5 p...Alan Shovel in DC for Jan 6...
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. All photos from public sour...
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. Top image: Posting from Chr...
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. 🔥🔥🔥 Image: Instagram post by Al...
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! 🔥🔥 Public document showing ele...
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 Image
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). ImageImage
References for writings on QAnon personality Isabella Rodriguez, aka #RedPillBabe.

This screen shot on Mostly Peaceful podcast is from Isabella Rodriguez’s now deleted Instagram account. Second image from Media Matters of a previous Instagram account with the WWG1WGA hashtag. ImageImage
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! 😂 Image
Pics of Linda Cuadros #WakeUpWithLinda, Moms for Liberty and Isabella Rodriguez #RedPillBabe posting about the event and their participation. ImageImage
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. Image
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. Image
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.

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.

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.

Meet groyper Haralambos Alejandros Sarris (age 24) aka "Harris Walker" / "Hardy Walking" / "HW" / "Baby Driver" of Davie, #Florida!

HW is a streamer and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes sycophant with absolutely horrendous behavior. Let’s go! 🔥

Offline, Haralambos Sarris has attended numerous events across the US in support of leaders in the America First groyper movement.

Here he is at the Million Maga March in Washington, DC, meeting up with Nick Fuentes. 2/ Image

BREAKING - Miami Young Republican @MiamiYRs board member & Proud Boy associate Barbara “Barby” Balmaseda is finally arrested on felony charges for her role in Jan 6th. #PinkGaiterPBG

She’s well connected in local GOP circles and we’ve been tracking her the whole time… 1/

Let’s dive in. But first, see the below thread for local media coverage. 2/

Notably Barbara Balmaseda was a 2021 member of the Miami GOP executive committee and listed as chairman of their Voter Registration Committee — which the @MiamiDadeGOP scrubbed from their website after she was exposed. 3/

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/
Image
Image
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/
