Even though he didn’t inform authorities of the attack’s political motivation until after Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio had made the claim in the media and on Twitter, the far-right activist who was attacked while campaigning for the senator on Saturday argued that it was.
The Miami Herald conducted an interview with Christopher Monzon, commonly known as “the Cuban Confederate,” while he was speaking at a Proud Boys event in Hialeah.
“I just want the reality of what occurred to come out. The truth is that it was motivated by politics, “Monzon asserted.
However, Monzon did not immediately assert that.
Politics were not mentioned in the initial police investigation, according to the publication. “Monzon has a lengthy history of endorsing racist ideologies and speaking up for them.”
Monzon vowed to prove his innocence.
He “refused to answer detailed questions about the beating or his past,” the newspaper reported.
