Robert Gonzalez’s squeaky clean persona as a personal injury, labor and homeowner’s insurance attorney has helped him raise some hefty money so far in the race.

But we doubt donors are aware of his political history. 💰💰@PereGonzaLaw @RobJGonzalezFL Screen on left from from Florida Politics blog: https://flo
Hard to argue “Law & Order” credentials when you have Jan 6 rioters knocking doors in Kendall for you this past weekend. 🤦🏻

Babara wasn’t just a casual attendee either. She marched w the Proud Boys in Stop the Steal warm up rallies + was with key leaders on J6 now facing conspiracy charges. With knowledge of the building she may have been assisting the insurrection plan.

But she’s not the only one!
Also knocking doors this past weekend for @RobJGonzalezFL and was Isabella Rodriguez, aka #RedPillBabe.

She also attended Jan 6 and she’s a contributor to “We The Media” — the largest telegram channel promoting QAnon.

In this thread we extensively document Isabella’s association with QAnon, participation in Jan 6 and promotion of far-right politics including white nationalism, Putin boosterism, etc.

Extra juicy is she admits it’s all true and brags, calling it a “highlight reel.” 💦 Screen shot of a posting by Isabella Rodriguez on her Truth
Robert also has more than casual ties with QAnon promoter Isabella Rodriguez as well.

He’s not just an upcoming guest on her “Mostly Peaceful Latinas” podcast, which Isabella co-hosts with fascist Instagram influencer Linda Cuadros.

We also have video of Robert Gonzalez speaking at another APC meeting discussing targeting @MDCPS school board mask mandates at the height of the pandemic.

The video is from the FB page of attendee, Proud Boy Gilbert Fonticoba #SumoPB currently facing felony charges for Jan 6.
But connection between FL House Rep District 119 candidate Robert Gonzalez and the Proud Boys go even further…
