Marco Rubio shares tale of canvasser being attacked, omits that he’s a notorious local racist
"This morning, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) tweeted that a man canvassing for his campaign in South Florida was attacked and severely beaten by four individuals who told him Republicans weren’t welcome in the neighborhood. Rubio said the man suffered internal bleeding and a broken jaw and that his injuries will require facial reconstruction surgery.
The police report tells a different tale. According to a local news outlet that obtained the report, the man was attacked by one person and there does not appear to be a political motive.
Rubio didn’t reveal the man’s name. But according to multiple reports, that man is Christopher Monzon, a former city council candidate in Hialeah, Florida with a history of ties to racist groups. Monzon, who also goes by Christopher Cedeno and is often referred to as the Cuban Confederate, was a prominent figure in the community pushing racist talking points and beliefs. He told the Daily Dot last year that he quit the white supremacist League of the South in 2018. He also said he regretted using racist slurs for Jewish and Black people."
