A billboard calling Trump a “Wannabe Dictator” is put up in South Florida

One of almost a dozen posters in South Florida denouncing Republicans was a bold new billboard that emerged Friday on eastbound SR 836, the Dolphin Expressway, calling Donald Trump a “dictator.”

Chris Wills, spokesman for Keep Them Honest, a nonprofit organization that targets GOP senators who back Trump’s deportation plan, said, “Donald Trump, who repeatedly promised to be a Day 1 dictator, proves with every passing day and action that he truly is a wannabe dictator.”

In a statement released on Friday, Wills underlined that “our Members of Congress have a duty to use the checks and balances granted to them by our Constitution, to ensure that we will never allow in the USA, a wannabe dictator to take control of our Democracy, not even for one day.”

“Everyone traveling on the Dolphin Expressway will be reminded every day of the threat to our democracy that Donald Trump now represents in the White House,” the organization continued.

Joining Latino Miami-Dade Democrats, Keep Them Honest is part of a larger billboard campaign that criticizes Republican Cuban-American lawmakers Carlos Gimenez, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Maria Elvira Salazar for failing to defend deportation-threatened immigrants.

These senators are branded as “traitorous Republican Cuban American politicians” by the Democratic campaign.

In response, a billboard by “Cubans with I-220A” stated that Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chávez, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Nicolás Maduro, Fidel and Raúl Castro, and Miguel Díaz-Canel are the “real traitors.”

The Palmetto Expressway saw the first billboard last month, and a second one near the Florida Turnpike and SW 88th Street followed.
