Is Carlos Curbelo a closet Democrat in disguise?

Is Carlos Curbelo a closet Democrat in disguise?

During the primary campaign last year, our new Congressman Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo painted himself as a conservative Republican and said attacks on him for being soft on GOP issues and aligned with Obama and former Florida Gov.

Carlos Gimenez admits overtaxing special districts: ‘So sorry’

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Mr. Giveaway” Gimenez apologized profusely for the “past miscalculations” that caused sudden, big increases in taxes for property owners in 234 special taxing districts that pay for extra street lights, security and other neighborhood amenities.

Carlos Gimenez’s next mancrush giveaway to Donald Trump

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Mr. Giveaway” Gimenez has apparently never met a billionaire he didn’t like — or didn’t want to give public money and assets to.
