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
