When she was a preacher, former State Rep. Kimberly Daniels thanked God for slavery. As a Jacksonville city councilwoman in 2008, she voted against LGBT protections, equating homosexuality with bestiality and necrophilia.
And on Monday, she endorsed Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban “El Bobo” Bovo for county mayor.
We know this because Bobo the bozo celebrated it. He put Daniels at a podium and at a campaign event and legitimized her hateful and dangerous rhetoric. Then he tweeted photos from the event and said he was “humbled” by her presence.
Humbled!
Why not just hand the victory to Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava? If Bovo’s team had any sense, they would have thanked Daniels and asked her to keep her kudos private. Perhaps Team Bobo is desesperado to show black support in larger measure than the two long shot loser mayoral rejects Ludmilla Domond, who was at the event Monday, and Monique Nicole Barley, another wannabe castaway from the August primary, endorsed him about a week later.

Meanwhile, Levine Cava has the backing of every fellow Commissioners Jean Monestime, Barbara Jordan, Denniss Moss and Audrey Edmonson — every black commissioner — who know our community better than Daniels, a rejected legislator and former pastor from North Florida who preached about demonic possession and said that Halloween candy was “prayed over by witches.” Seriously. Candy corn is evil!
But “consensual” sex between a 19-year-old and a 14-year-old is good. Because Daniels amended a House bill in 2018 so a 19-year-old who forces a 14-year-old into any sexual activity — which we guess could include bestiality and necrophilia, in addition to prostitution — is charged with a civil citation, not criminal charges, as long as the relationship is consensual, which just seems impossible.
In 2018, when she proposed a controversial bill to put “In God We Trust” somewhere on every school, Daniels drew scrutiny and someone uncovered a YouTube video of a 2008 sermon at the Solid Rock Church in Ohio where Daniels thanks God for slavery, claiming “if it wasn’t for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshiping a tree.” You’d be able to see it because Ladra would link to it right here, except YouTube removed it because it violated their policy on hate speech.
Ten years earlier, as a city council member, she voted against an ordinance that would protect the LGBT community in Jacksonville. Calling it a “slippery slope,” Daniels wondered out loud if laws to protect sexual relations with animals and corpses would be next.
This is not just far right, this is far out there.
“For a community like ours that prides itself for its diversity and respect for all walks of life, it’s highly offensive that Steve Bovo would not only welcome this endorsement, but stands shoulder to shoulder in our community with someone who was recently rejected by Jacksonville voters for her extremist views and highly divisive agenda,” said Levine Cava’s campaign consultant, Christian Ulvert, in a statement.

“This endorsement only reaffirms that Steve Bovo is out of touch with Miami-Dade voters and the values we expect in our next Mayor,” Ulvert said. “He owes our residents answers as to where he stands with Kim Daniels and her extremist agenda.”
Ladra says he owes us more than that. Bovo should denounce Daniels and and reject her endorsement — as he returned contributions from former Congressman David Rivera after he was accused of getting money from the Venezuelan government — as well as apologize to everyone of us for being clueless and/or opportunistic to take her support in the first place.
Or, better yet, resign his campaign for mayor because he has repeatedly shown he can’t represent all of Miami-Dade.

J.D.,
I call it like I see it from incredibly low political standards to some of the most racist people going and yes Cuban born in Cuba .
I suspect if you meet any Cuban who has moved here from any where outside of Miami you will hear the same .
Dear Jose, the reason why you find bad Cuban politicians in South Florida as you say is due to the high concentration of Cuban Americans in this area.
The same can be said for any other ethnic group in any other area of the country since bad politicians abound even in the ANGLO world you so highly praise.
That being said, your disdain for Cuban Americans is palpable in your reply (even if you are of Cuban descent) and the bigotry you spouse reaches us without any sort of filter. I have to wonder whether your comment would even be printed if you said similar things about blacks, Jews or any other minority group.
My advise to you is, do not generalize, good people can be found in any group. Continue to expose the wrong deeds of all politicians and help make this a better community.
Christopher Davis, if you truly pay attention to corruption in both parties, maybe you’ve noticed the sources of income funding Daniella Cava’s campaign. As far as scare tactics, you are in denial if you think the anarchist tactics of Antifa and BLM are not real and only “an idea” as viewed by Joe Biden. Better a drink with Bovo than a bagel with your leftist candidate.
Christopher ,
Being Cuban , I had ENOUGH of the Cuban ” Cosa Nostra ” that has been a self serving organized crime syndicate and the number one enemy of Cubans here but in my opinion ( being PC) MOST Cubans here are ethnic voting separatist they aren’t able to see this .
I am honestly at the point that in last 2 years I simply vote for anyone who is NOT Cuban and if the choices are two Cubans I’ll vote for who is new . Yes , I was born in Cuba but it ends right there .
I didn’t grow up here and to me this has been a foreign country with incredibly low political standards where any Cuban pile of trash will suffice for office . .
Truth is I only lived with Hispanics the three years I was in the Army . I grew up with SANE , moderate Anglos .
There are no Republicans here and insane that anyone would think so .
. I know plenty like Juan from work and the gym and they aren’t bad people but refuse to see the Banana Republic THEY have created here by rewarding crooks , bad behavior with reelection .
Miami with quasi honest politicos could have the streets paved in gold but that will NEVER happen as long as we run it . Yes my post is caustic but it’s reality .
I put in for a transfer from the company I work for and got it but due to the virus and everything not moving it might be a year to 18 months and like I told my parents who do not live here ” If I never see another Cuban again other then immediate family it will fine with me ” , LOL.
I plan to remove all the mirrors in my house , lol .
I’m sure if I met Juan we would get along and his insults wouldn’t bother me .I give people like him credit for being a voting machine but they do not want to see the basura they support .
Juan,I’m very much alive ! And I pay attention to the Corruption from both Parties, Your B.S.Scare tactics do nothing to intimidate people from voting for a Republican just because they’re a (RINO)Republican in Name Only ! I will not vote for a Republican just because he throws crap out there that Cava will defund the Police ! There are plenty of Hypocrites out there and you and Bovo can go have a drink together after he loses to Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava!
Davis, if anyone should be ashamed of yourself is you. By supporting leftist Cava, you are supporting the hoodlums that denigrate our flag, anthem and pledge of allegiance and utilize race as an excuse to destroy property and loot. Maybe Seattle, Portland or Chicago appeal to you but we pay taxes here for police protection not to be spent on BLM or Antifa. Get a life.
What should happen is have a Federal investigation by the Southern District of South Florida Attorney General who was recommended by both Federal Senator’s from Florida Marco Rubio and Rick Scott to President Donald Trump who Nominated the Present U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of Florida in Relation to David Rivera and Bovo’s Wife who works for Marco Rubio .It’s a corrupt thing when Bovo takes money from someone who deals with the present Venezuelan Government. If anyone votes for the Fake/Phony Bovo they should be ashamed of themselves!
