Is Fernando Cabrera The Best They Could Do To Find An Opponent To Run Against AOC?

Fernando Cabrera-- I wonder if he ever bought his coke from Antoine Tucker

I don't know a lot about Fernando Cabrera, other than that he calls himself a doctor because he has graduate degrees from some fake colleges, one of which is Liberty and the other, Argosy, which the federal government shut down in March for scamming students. The other stuff I know about Cabrera is that he's a notorious coke freak, a anti-LGBTQ bigot, and a has a reputation for being the most crooked member of the New York City Council. In 2009, with Bronx machine help, Cabrera defeated Maria Baez for a Bronx City Council seat (district 14-- Claremont Village, Fordham, Kingsbridge, Marble Hill, Morris Heights, Mount Eden, Mount Hope and University Heights). 55 years old, he's a pastor at New Life Outreach International in Knightsbridge. He was reelected to his City Council seat in 2013 and the following year (and again in 2016) primaried state Senator Gustavo Rivera (a progressive), who beat him handily both times. Cabrera was reelected to his City Council seat again in 2017. This week he filed papers to run for Congress against AOC.

A "former" Republican, he's still adamantly anti-Choice and his campaigns are supported by the viciously anti-gay Family Research Council, a hate group. Whenever he loses elections, he blames the media for... basically reporting his positions and his record.

Cabrera joins anther right-wing Democrat running against AOC, James Dillon, plus an identity politics nothing named Badrun Khan and 8 or 9 crackpot Republicans, one of whom, Antoine Tucker, advertises himself, as "a former drug dealer" who "survived failed liberal policies." If you'd like to help AOC keep her seat and continue doing the most important work of nearly anyone in Washington, please contribute to her campaign by clicking on the 2020 Worthy Incumbents thermometer on the right. And if you've been following this race, you might be wondering what happened with Crowley's cousin, Elizabeth Crowley. She withdrew her name from contention. So now right-wing Democrats have to choose between Cabrera and Dillon.
