Also wasn't this the incident that was specifically led by a Miami GOP chairman? Yes, it was
The Miami-Dade Republican Partys County Chairman led an angry mob of partisans, alongside the local leader of national hate group the Proud Boys, in an attack on a Democratic campaign office this week.
Miami GOP Chairman Nelson Diaz planned the event (image below) and local Congressman Carlos Curbelo promoted the protest heavily.
This is beyond reprehensible and it must be condemned in the strongest of ways, said Pelosi campaign spokesman Jorge Aguilar who attended the event.
Anything short of it is simply an endorsement of their violent tactics, he said.
A chaotic mob scene ensued as the Republican party leader and his spewed expletives at House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi while she entered a Democratic Congressional campaign office.
Ironically, Diaz and his followers demonstrated an utter lack of respect for private property to shout communista while trespassing in a narrow alleyway, before demanding entry to the Democratic event.
Video of the attack published by the far-right wing website Big League Politics was shot by Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Miami Proud Boys. He recorded the video of Diaz personally pounding on the side-door to Democratic nominee Donna Shalalas campaign office. (video below)
Nelson Diaz returned my emailed request for comment by phone the day after the near riot and was unequivocal in blaming a local pro-Trump group for the trouble.
Chairman Diaz even told me that he never heard of the Proud Boys, even though the Miami New Times caught local GOP Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart posting a photo of himself with one candidate of the groups members just two months ago.
But the video doesnt lie, and it depicts Diaz only a few feet away from Miami Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio when he yelled:
Open up! Its some Proud Boys in here.
Diaz can also be seen wearing just a few feet from Tarrio in this tweeted Miami Herald video. The hate group leader is wearing the groups distinctive black shirt with yellow trim.
