Pardon my look back to January 6, but...

Enrique Tarrio has a past tailor made for today's opposition to Democracy.

With business so consolidated and monopolies in control, would-be fixes are cast aside by the GOP. He is a member of the Republican Party. He is a two time criminal and at only 37 calls himself a businessman.

"In 2004, when he was 20 years old, Tarrio was convicted of theft. He was sentenced to community service and three years of probation and was ordered to pay restitution. In 2013, Tarrio was sentenced to 30 months (of which he spent 16) in federal prison for rebranding and reselling stolen medical devices."

Is that truly business? No way. But it shows what an Afro-Cuban crook has in common with a twice impeached POTUS.
