What you need to know about Francis Suarez

What Conservatives Need To Know About Francis Suarez

Francis Suarez represents everything wrong with swampy, RINO politics

Here are four facts conservatives need to know about Francis Suarez:

  • • During the 2020 election, Suarez hedged his support for President Trump and the Republican Party, claiming that he wanted to see what Biden had “to offer for the urban communities.” He proudly claims that he didn’t vote for Donald Trump in either 2016 or 2020—his flirtation with Joe Biden contributed to the problems we currently face.
  • • Suarez is a typical pay-to-play politician—he was paid $170,000 as a “consultant” for a real estate developer seeking permitting approvals from Suarez’s city government.
  • • In July 2020, Suarez co-authored an op-ed stating that mask mandates “need to be backed up with the threat of fines and, for chronic offenders, even arrest.” He went on to brag about deploying dozens of police officers to enforce his COVID mandates with legal penalties, including arrest. Suarez was another COVID tyrant.
  • • Pro-China billionaire donor Ken Griffin, seeing Ron DeSantis’s weakness, has thrown his support behind Suarez. The globalist megadonor, who has praised Xi Jinping and is deeply invested in China, gave $1 million to Suarez’s political committee.
Suarez was paid $170,000 as a “consultant” for a real estate developer seeking permitting approvals from Suarez’s city government. “A developer quietly paid Miami Mayor Francis Suarez at least $170,000 over the past two years to help cut through red tape and secure critical permits for his stalled real estate project in Coconut Grove, according to internal corporate records exclusively obtained by the Miami Herald. Notes of company meetings held last summer and fall by the development firm Location Ventures indicate that CEO Rishi Kapoor was having difficulties getting plans approved for his URBIN Coconut Grove complex as he tried to assure jittery investors that Suarez would help resolve the problem.” (Joey Flechas, Jay Weaver, and Sarah Blaskey, “Developer paid Miami’s mayor $170K to push his project, company records state,” Miami Herald. May 23, 2023)

During the 2020 election, Suarez hedged his support for President Trump and the Republican Party. “Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) declined to commit to voting for President Trump in November, saying he wants to see more from both the president and his presumptive Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, before making his decision. ‘I want to see what both candidates have to offer for the urban communities before making up my mind on who I’m going to support,’ Suarez, 42, told Politico.” (Marty Johnson, “GOP Miami mayor does not commit to voting for Trump,” The Hill. Jul. 8, 2020)

I don't think we have anything to worry about from Suarez.

Why is this guy running at all? I can say the same thing about several others--Pence, Christie, Haley...all the rest other than DeSantis and Ramaswamy

I just asked myself that same question. Outside of Miami, I doubt if anyone has ever heard of him.

I guess as long as you are spending someone else's money, why not?

He is cute and very manly, but most Cubans have bad work ethic!

Most Cubans I have ever known are hard-working, industrious people.

A lot of the Cubans that work for the city do a lot of shady things, work as little as possible and do side jobs while on the clock for the city, even take and use the cities equipment, most bosses in the city do not like the cuban workers, they are very unethical and bad workers. Cubans and Puerto Ricans do not have good reputations for good work ethic, like the Mexican and Guatemalan do.

@7:40...quite an indictment...you could be right.
If they are such bad workers, why aren't they fired?
Cubans used to be known for hard-work and being industrious. No so?

Cubans are no different than anybody else. Some are very skilled and work hard. You can't generalize about people based on what countries they come from.

As a homeowner, I've had many different races and nationalities working for me from time to time.

I don't know what you mean by a union worker. Are we talking about Florida?

I think you should be more specific before you indict an entire population.
