Corrupt Carlos Caves to Donald Trump — Again

Corrupt Carlos Giménez abused his power as Mayor to bend the curfew rules for his boss, Donald Trump

Carlos Giménez has once again abused his power as mayor and put Floridians at risk by extending the Miami-Dade curfew to accommodate Donald Trump’s upcoming superspreader campaign rally, even as a new study shows how Trump rallies have caused COVID spikes. Giménez bending public health rules for the Trump campaign is just the latest chapter in a long history of using his office to benefit his political allies.

Whether it’s his insistence that he had “no” concerns about Trump coming to Miami after his coronavirus diagnosis, or maintaining that he has “no problem” with Trump’s deadly failed COVID-19 response, Giménez has proven that his loyalties lie with Donald Trump and the Republican party over the people of South Florida. 

  • Giménez supports the Trump Administration’s lawsuit to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which he thinks is “unconstitutional law”
  • Giménez rushed to greet Mike Pence, whose failed leadership has had catastrophic implications for COVID-19 in America, the last time he came to town
  • Giménez has openly declared that he’ll stick to the Republican Party’s platform

“Corrupt Carlos Giménez’s blatant partisanship might be something of a joke if his reckless actions and blind loyalty to Donald Trump didn’t put the lives of South Floridians at risk,” said DCCC Spokesperson Sarah Guggenheimer. “Time and again, Giménez has proven he’ll risk his constituents’ health, destroy Florida’s environment, restrict access to affordable health care, and back callous immigration policies to support Donald Trump. He’ll never put Florida first, and his bending public health rules to accommodate this reckless rally is just further proof.”
