Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has been linked to a scheme to illegally fund the campaigns of pretend Democratic candidates in Florida.
Glenna Milberg of WPLG reported:
#Florida Cong. Matt Gaetz is now tied to shill candidate in a state senate election. This thread exhibits how *that* ghost candidate is immediately linked to 2 So Fla shills we busted final Nov.
It’s within the cash path that led to Frank Artiles arrest.

All 3 filed as no-party-affiliation, did no campaigning, no fundraising, nothing. And but they have been backed by two Political Motion Committees: “Our Florida” and “The Fact”. Each PACS have been created the identical day, Oct. 2nd – a month earlier than the election.
And that’s simply the beginning.. pic.twitter.com/a9GdIk4kS2— Glenna Milberg (@GlennaWPLG) April 12, 2021
… Discover $370,000 went to “Our Florida” PAC, supporting the 2 South Florida shill candidates, Rodriguez & Alfonso.
$180,000 went to “The Fact” PAC, supporting one Central Florida shill candidate, Iannotti.@WPLGLocal10— Glenna Milberg (@GlennaWPLG) April 12, 2021
Again to #Florida Cong. Matt Gaetz, whom NYT connects to D9 shill candidate Jestine Iannotti…
Shill “schemes” will not be unlawful in #Florida; unlawful marketing campaign funding is.
That’s how #Miami SAO charged Artiles & Rodriguez.
No indication Central FL SAOs are on the case.@WPLGLocal10— Glenna Milberg (@GlennaWPLG) April 12, 2021
If there was against the law in Florida involving politics or politicians, it’s beginning to really feel like the chances are good that Matt Gaetz was concerned.
It’s turning into evident why Gaetz worshipped Trump. Matt Gaetz had his personal one-person crime wave occurring within the Sunshine State. Gaetz is already the opportunity of federal legal costs that, if he have been convicted on, would lock him for almost all of the rest of his life.
The faux candidates scheme has already gotten a former state senator arrested, and that could be only the start because the crime ring disguised as a state political social gathering is being uncovered.
