Fantastic Florida Cuban-American legislators back in the news!

Rubio and Diaz-Balart have ($$) ties to Miami’s collapsed-bridge builders
Álvaro Fernández • March 16, 2018

Senator Marco Rubio and Representative Mario Diaz-Balart are beholden to their political benefactors first and foremost. And people are dying because of it.

For example, they’d rather protect the gun industry at the expense of… even children. It is a known fact both Rubio and Diaz-Balart are major supporters of the National Rifle Association. Some say they are owned by the NRA, who over the years has showered them both with money. Nobody in Florida has received more money than these two from this gun lobby that believes the 2nd Amendment and the right to shoot people carries more weight than the life of a 14-year-old in Miami or for that matter a six-year-old in Sandy Hook Elementary.

But it’s not the NRA that has me up in arms today!

By now most everyone around the country and other parts of the world know that a 950-ton pedestrian bridge collapsed over Tamiami Trail on Thursday afternoon in southwest Miami-Dade killing at least six people. More dead are expected. As of Friday (March 16), workers were still digging out the site of the tragedy looking for bodies.
