Let’s meet Miami’s new black face mayoral candidate, Alexander Otaola. @alexotaola

This “anti-communist” grifter personality is known for racist rants & disinformation on his “Hola Ota-Ola!” YouTube show but he’s also chummy w the Miami GOP and the Proud Boys. Let’s go! 🔥🧵1/ Top left: Miami Cuban media personality Alexander Otaola per
Alexander Otaola’s protest antics and his connection to pushing far-right false narratives are well documented by local media.

And local politicos like Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar have also been known to pull strings for him. 👮🏻‍♂️🚔 2/ “Hola Otaola! Can a racist demagogue be a serious defender“Some in Spanish language media falsely blame Black Lives
Alexander Otaola enjoys hobnobbing w the local Miami GOP scene. 🍸

He attended the @MiamiDadeGOP 2021 Christmas Party, posing with GOP chair Rene Garcia & alongside Jan 6 insurrectionist Barbara Balmaseda #PinkGaiterPBG + her BF, disgraced former exec director Brandon Diaz. 3/
Alexander Otaola, who is openly gay, hosted on his June 21 YouTube show Miami anti-LGBTQ hate pusher and Moms for Liberty chair Eulalia Jimenez.

Eulalia swore up and down she’s opposed to homophobia but her and M4L’s track record says otherwise. 🤥 4/

Accompanying Eulalia Jimenez to the interview and posing with Alexander Otaola was “low libido” Miami Proud Boy Nowell Salgueiro who holds a seat on Miami GOP executive committee.

Nowell is also known for shouting homophobic remarks at journalists and promoting Pinochet. 😬 5/ Left: Proud Boy Nowell Salgueiro, Alexander Otaola and Eulal
As to the insanely racist blackface segment Alexander Otaola hosted on his show, in 2017 he impersonated Cuban reggaeton artist Chocolate MC. 🎤

The artist threatened to sue Otaola in response and you can read more here: cubatrendings.com/2017/11/02/cho… 6/ Screen shot of show segment with Alexander Otaola performing
While Alexander Otaola set the episode on YouTube to private, fortunately it’s preserved in an edited segment linked here.

“I really have to open my eyes, otherwise you won’t be able to see me.” 👀

CW for massive anti-black racism.

Of course Alexander Otaola was not smart enough to delete his November 1, 2017 Instagram post about the segment. 🤷🏿‍♂️ 8/

In fact, website AfroCubaWeb @afrocubaweb has compiled links and media around on racism in the white Cuban community — Alexander Otaola has 5 entries and even his own page.

More of Alexander Otaola pressing the flesh with local Miami GOP figures at the Lincoln Day dinner: Marco Rubio, Rene Garcia, Joe Carollo and Ileana Garcia. 🍸🍸

@alexotaola @Hola_Otaola @MiamiDadeGOP
EXTRA: Apparently @alexotaola has picked up a few enemies.

Someone made a change.org petition giving this “anti-communist” activist a dose of his own medicine: accusing him of working for the Cuban government and demanding the US revoke his residency. 😂😂
EXTRA: A quick skim of Alex Otaola’s Twitter feed shows him retweeting the Post Millennial, the sinking outlet edited by far-right propagandist Andy Ngo, and the newly elected QAnon congresswoman Maya Flores.

Always so predictable!

UPDATE: It’s only getting worse for Miami ICE impersonator Rolando Lavielle.

We’ve obtained his criminal record which includes felony convictions + domestic violence allegation last year — meaning all possession of firearms is illegal. He literally posted his crimes! 1/ Left: Post from Rolando Lavielle’s Instagram account showing him handling an AR rifle at a shooting range. Top right: Post from Rolando’s threads account showing an AR rifle, AR pistol and shotgun with text “Bring the LA Chaos down here. I volunteer myself” with a gun and flag emoji, implying he is threatening to use weapons on protesters. Bottom right: Screen shot on Rolando’s criminal record from publicly available sources. All images and information from public sources as posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism. We do not encourage contact or interaction with ...
More pics of Miami ICE impersonator Rolando Lavielle illegally possessing & handling firearms — including an unloaded magazine at the “No Kings” rally last Saturday.

“Back the blue!” but what those grand theft, assault, burglary, hit & run + credit card fraud charges bro? 😂 2/ Image
Tough guy Rolando Lavielle is not only a criminal but also broke. 🤑

Civil lawsuit records show a long string of credit card debt, a 2022 car repossession, an eviction, & numerous foreclosure battles.

Maybe stop ruining your life being a wannabe and get your life together? 3/ Image

Yesterday at the Miami “No Kings” rally this pair arrived dressed in tactical gear to intimidate attendees & illegally impersonate ICE agents.

Let’s meet father & son team 55 yr old Rolando “Roly” Levielle & his 23 yr old son Anthony Levielle of Cutler Bay, FL. 🧵1/ All images and content are from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism. We do not condone or encourage harassment of the subjects of our posts.
Giving mass shooter vibes while bragging about his crimes, Rolando Levielle’s Temu tactical warrior outfit included a chest carrier with empty mags & zip ties used for arrests.

Tell us you’re not having a steroid induced mid-life masculinity crisis without telling us. 2/ All images and content are from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism. We do not condone or encourage harassment of the subjects of our posts.
Partner in crime, 23 year old Anthony Levielle of Cutler Bay was also kind enough to include his full legal name right on his chest rig.

Clearly Anthony is not the sharpest tool in the shed. But they wanted the clout & attention so let’s make them famous. 3/ All images and content are from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.

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/ Left: Miami Young Republicans event flyer. Top right: Dec 2022 post in Linda Cuadros’ telegram channel “wakeupwithlinda,” which is the name of her Instagram account. The post contains an image of a tweet referencing Jews from Andrew Anglin, the notorious neo-Nazi who runs the site The Daily Stormer. Linda’s text reads “5% of the population wants to make decisions for 95% of us.” All images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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/ Right: TikTok posting by Linda Cuadros on Florida legislation on antisemitism. Text: “hate speech = free speech” All images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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

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/🧵 Top: Screen shot posted by former Miami Proud Boy Chris Barcenas. Search his hashtag #USAPB for our extensive reporting on him. Left: Barcenas in front of the Capitol building on J6. Additional photos place him on the steps of the building & he provided testimony to the Jan 6 Committee. Right; Barcenas at a Proud Boy rally in New York, circa 2021. All images and content from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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/

Left: Social media posting by REC member & FIU student Cristen Lameira of the REC meeting in September 2023. Top right: Zooming in Chris Barcenas can be seen sitting in the front row. All images and content from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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/ Left: Together at a late 2020 “stop the steal” rally in Washington, DC are former REC member and one time GOP candidate Proud Boy Gabriel Garcia pictured with Barbara Balmaseda. She is a past REC member who served as chair of voter registration, a former Marco Rubio intern & past Miami Young Republican board member. She was indicted in December 2023 for Jan 6 charges and marched alongside the Proud Boy and was inside the Capitol with Gabriel Garcia. See her hashtag #PinkGaiterPBG for more background. Gabriel Garcia was convicted in November 2023 but awaits sentencing for his Jan 6 charges...

Last week we introduced Miami Proud Boy & III% militia supporter Ralph Verde. Today we reveal more.

Let’s dive deeper into Rafael Antonio Verde of Cutler Bay, FL — the brokest real estate, insurance & financing hustler we’ve ever come across! 🤑🧵 1/
Main image: LinkedIn profile of Rafael Verde. Right image: Rafael Verde at a Proud Boy rally in Washington, DC. All content and images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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/ Top: Currently pending credit card lending lawsuits against Rafael Verde. Bottom: Rafael Verde at a Proud Boy rally in Washington, DC. All content and images from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
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/ Left: Lawsuit filed by former insurance employer against Rafael Verde. Right: Rafael Verde at a rally led by Floridians First, a now defunct front group run by local Proud Boys, in front of La Carreta on Bird Road.
