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! 🔥
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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. 😂
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.
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.
@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.
Next week Miami Young Republicans will host an event opposing #Florida’s Amendment 4 pro-choice ballot measure.
Among the “most influential voices” is antisemitic & pro-Putin podcaster Linda Catalina Cuadros — but that’s just the beginning with @MiamiYRs.
Let’s dive in! 🧵 1/
Miami based influence grifter Linda Cuadros got her start w anti-vaccine & pro-MAGA content but quickly expanded into far-right anti-LGBTQ themes on “globohomo” & support 4 Kanye West.
We also documented her sharing notorious neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin in her Telegram channel.
2/
Linda’s open antisemitism & Putin simp content naturally attracted attention in June when she did a sit down interview w Miami mayor Francis Suarez, earning her local media coverage. #WakeUpWithLinda
One of Florida’s worst creations, white MAGA rapper “Forgiato Blow” aka Kurt Jantz, has just posted that all his YouTube videos were just taken down. 1/
Forgiato Blow, aka Kurt Jantz, attended Jan 6 and appeared multiple times alongside now imprisoned former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio. 2/
We’ve also documented Forgiato Blow in Miami for a small anti-LGBTQ hate rally directed at Target in June 2023 alongside a Miami Proud Boy & QAnon flat earth singer Jimmy Levy who he collaborated with for his ‘Boycott Target’ track. 3/
Meet the man currently nominated for a Florida State GOP Committeeman seat by the Miami GOP @MiamiDadeGOP.
Former Proud Boy & January 6th rioter Chris Barcenas. #USAPB
1/🧵
Following the scandal caused by NYT coverage of the Proud Boys & allies holding seats on the Miami GOP Republican Executive Committee (REC) in 2022 — many remain active, including Barcenas.
This is also why the Miami GOP keeps membership a secret. 2/
Keep in mind two Proud Boys, Gabriel Garcia & Gilbert Fonticoba, were sitting Miami GOP REC members when indicted for J6 charges. Both since convicted.
A third REC member, Barbara Balmaseda #PinkGaiterPBG, was indicted in Dec 2023 for being inside the Capitol on J6 w Garcia. 3/
Rafael Verde, b. Dec 1968, is behind a string of short lived real estate & investment LLCs & currently “Ice Mountain LLC.”
Public records show a mountain of personal debts — his house went into foreclosure this month & he’s facing two credit card lender lawsuits for $27k. 2/
Proud Boy Rafael Antonio Verde has records for evictions in 2000, 2015, 2018 & another foreclosure in 2006. Former employer Bankers Life & Casualty sued him in 2015 for not returning $12k in commissions — likely signed up fraudulently based on later criminal charges. 3/
NEW: Today we present a special reveal featuring the president of Miami’s Vice City Proud Boys & two associates.
Let’s meet Alejandro “Alex” Reyes, the 50 year old discount rack Liver King who irons his beard & lives in a $2.5 million house in the burbs of Kendall. 1/🧵
Roid raging Proud Boy & president of Miami’s Vice City chapter Alejandro “Alex” Reyes is known for his appearances at the Miami school board @MDCPS opposing LGBTQ history month alongside PB ally groups, Miami Moms for Liberty (RIP) and the Christian Family Coalition. 2/
Miami Proud Boy leader Alejandro “Alex” Reyes has been a fixture at rallies + events & we know he’s the president because his telegram profile tells us: VCPB = Vice City Proud Boys.
In 2022 he was one of several Proud Boys who signed on as local poll workers w @MDCElections 3/
Let’s meet Patrick Bet-David who invited neo-fascist & white supremacist Patriot Front leader Thomas Rousseau, currently facing charges for the tiki torch Nazi march during Unite the Right, to his Fort Lauderdale studio for a ‘friendly chat’ on his PBD Podcast for YouTube.
