Nod in sheriff’s race causes dueling GOP videos
In his second video as Gino the Magnificent, Miami-Dade sheriff candidate Jeffrey Giordano — a long shot poking fun at the November election and some the 17 candidates in the clown car — manages to offend women, blacks, short people, union members, seniors and even phlebotomists.
It’s Part 2 to his first posted video as Gino, a take on Johnny Carson’s skit where he portrayed Carnac the Magnificent. In the first video, posted in February, Giordano took pot shots at candidates Ignacio Alvarez, Jasper Bishop, Ruamen de la Rua, Alex Fornet, Joe Sanchez and retired MDPD Lt. Rickey Mitchell, calling the funeral home owner “Grim Reaper Mitchell,” and “the only candidate who will profit from multiple deaths in Dade County.”
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s primary just might be over before a ballot is cast.
Assistant Director of Investigative Services Rosanna “Rosie” Cordero-Stutz, the highest ranking county police officer on the ballot, just got the mother of all endorsements for any Republican: former President Donald Trump.
There are 17, count ’em, 17 candidates for the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s election — so far. But only one of them scored what is likely the mother of all endorsements.
Congressman Carlos Gimenez — the former county mayor who served as the de facto sheriff in that role — has come out for Miami-Dade Police Assistant Director Rosanna Cordero-Stutz, the highest ranking county officer in the race and the woman in charge of the transition to the first Miami-Dade sheriff’s office in 57 years.
