With high confidence we are calling that the @marcorubio canvasser who was attacked + hospitalized last night was Christopher Monzon aka the “Cuban Confederate” who has a well documented history of advocating white supremacy — AND deep involvement in Miami GOP politics.

See this detailed thread on Christopher Monzon. He’s a former member of neo-confederate hate group League of the South & attended the Unite the Right march in 2017.

During his failed run for Hialeah city council he tried to distance himself from his history w little success.

In 2019 Christopher Monzon served as an elected member of the @MiamiDadeGOP executive committee.

He’s also been heavily active in the Miami Springs and Hialeah Republican Clubs.

Miami Springs and Hialeah Republican clubs have long had close ties with the Miami Proud Boys as well.

See our thread above where PB front group Floridians First hosted Monzon at a local pizza joint during his bid for Hialeah city council.

CONFIRMED: Miami right-wing conspiracy blog "Patriots Perspective" states that the Marco Rubio @marcorubio canvasser who was attacked yesterday is indeed white supremacist and Miami GOP activist, Christopher Monzon aka "the Cuban Confederate."

The "Patriots Perspective" blog has an article confirming Christopher Monzon's identity as well.

For those asking about the “mole” in Monzon’s UTR photo, check out this photo of him wearing the same glasses and a different League of the South shirt during a 2017 incident where attacked protesters with a confederate flag.

He plead guilty to aggravated assault for this.

UPDATE - Local media has confirmed the identity of the Marco Rubio canvasser as white supremacist and former League of the South hate group member, Christopher Monzon aka "The Cuban Confederate."

Also of interest is quoted source "Vince Medel" ...

miaminewtimes.com/news/rubio-sup…

President of the Miami Springs Republican Club "Vince Medel" -- more commonly known as Vincent Medel -- appears to be the source of the "politically motivated attack" narrative.

Medel is well known us...

Vincent Medel, President of the Miami Springs Republican Club and source of the "politically motivated attack" narrative, has openly associated with the Miami Proud Boys and made social media posts calling himself "a follower of Q."

https://twitter.com/MIAagainstFash/status/1426398537005285376?s=20&t=9anmFOtU0oms2vkrQQTfMA

Based on the police report, which has no mention of political motivations for the attack, local media including @MiamiNewTimes and @WPLGLocal10 are questioning the narrative of Marco Rubio's post.

local10.com/news/local/202…

This likely completely made up narrative, which seems to have originated from Medel and then repeated by Rubio on Twitter, is the predictable result when local @MiamiDadeGOP, it's leadership, staff and canvassers are chock full far-right wackos, Proud Boys and QAnon followers!

@MiamiDadeGOP Local media is reporting that Proud Boys Oswaldo "Ozzy" Perez-Cerezal and Gabriel Garcia are at the hospital with Christopher Monzon.

Both Garcia and Perez-Cerezal are @MiamiDadeGOP executive members. Garcia is currently facing felony charges for J6.

Not the first time Christopher Monzon had been surrounded by Proud Boys.

In July 2021 Monzon (red shirt holding flag) appeared with the Proud Boy contingent during Cuba solidarity protests in Miami. Gabriel Garcia is center wearing the blue shirt w back to the camera.

NEW: @marcorubio canvasser & white supremacist Christopher Monzon who was severely beaten in Hialeah — which Rubio circulated an apparently false narrative of the attack being politically motivated — is NOT just a volunteer but a STAFFER for the RNC Hispanic Office in Doral. 👀

The source of this is Miami far-right activist Frank de Varona, who is also deeply involved in Miami GOP politics, a Bay of Pigs veteran and the Miami leader of the reactionary conspiracy group the John Birch Society.

Here’s Frank with Vincent Medel, the “follower of Q” and Proud Boy booster who attended Jan 6.

He is referenced up thread as the source confirming Christopher Monzon was the Rubio canvasser attacked in Hialeah.

Also head of the new Miami Spring John Birch Society chapter. 👀

And what were the Miami Proud Boys up to after blocking the media from interviewing Monzon in the hospital with the invitation of his family?

Here’s Gabriel Garcia, Ozzy Perez-Cerezal and “Miami Lex” at a DeSantis debate watch party.

Predictably the local Miami QAnon types are foaming at the mouth on this and even blaming Miami GOP.

Must be why Isabella Rodriguez was fuming last month over the GOP not wanting to work with her on “election integrity.” They’ve already had enough heat in one year! 🔥

https://twitter.com/MIAagainstFash/status/1584967175689089026

Miami Proud Boys — several who hold seats on the @MiamiDadeGOP executive board — are now saying they will show their faces in Miami Lakes soon: “We will be walking for Chris Monzon our patriot brother in the normie community!” 🙄

UPDATE — Rubio canvasser, RNC staffer & white supremacist Christopher Monzon appears with supporters in a photo being discharged from the hospital alongside a fellow marcher at the 2017 Unite the Right rally — who is reportedly but not confirmed ALSO Monzon’s father. 1/2

Here’s the source photos for documentation purposes. Zoom in to take a look. 👀

Note that the supporter posting the tweet and picture of Monzon blames the attack on “delinquents of the extreme left” despite zero evidence of this being the case. 2/2

CONFIRMED — Meet Reynaldo Lazaro Cedano of Hialeah, Florida.

He’s the father of Christopher Monzon and was previously reported on by the SPLC in this article.

In these photos Reynaldo is next to Chris at a League of the South demo in Gainesville.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…

League of the South is a documented neo-confederate hate group and the photos of Reynaldo Cedano together with Christopher Monzon at a Gainesville demonstration come from this YouTube video.

Reynaldo is wearing a red shirt with sun glasses.

The photo Christopher Monzon and father Reynaldo Cedano marching together at Unite the Right alongside neo-nazis are from this video.

Note both are wearing shirts with League of the South logos.

As the Miami Herald reports, Rubio's campaign has stated that the father is the source on the political motivations -- but did not mention this when he called into Radio Mambi on Monday.
