Former President Donald Trump will travel to the Iowa State Fair tomorrow to campaign with a delegation of Florida Congressmen who endorsed him. One of the Congressmen is former Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, arguably the strictest enforcer of Covid lockdown and mask mandates in the state during the pandemic.
Rep. Gimenez signed an Executive Order going far beyond Governor DeSantis’s Order, ordering all beaches, parks, and “non-essential” commercial and retail businesses to close because of COVID. Gimenez’s order also included a 6 pm curfew for residents. Even when the majority of Florida beaches were open, Gimenez and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber continued to enforce the closure of Miami Beaches.
