Christian Ilvert

She wrote, I would travel those thousands of miles each weekend once more if it meant just one more day with you.

She's apparently referring to trips to visit her father on death row.

He was there from 1986 until he was put to death in 2012 when she was 32 years old.

What did they talk about?

How did it shape her?

What made her so proud of him and what was so heroic about him?

Setting aside his horrific crimes, what we know about Manuel Pardo's beliefs are not inconsistent with Monique Pardo Pope's current views.

Monique Pardo Pope is not only proud of him, she seems to be carrying on some of his work.

A few months ago, she appeared at an event of the Christian Family Coalition, an ultra conservative organization at the forefront of Florida's most discriminatory anti LGBTQ plus policies, extremist anti abortion legislation and ending the separation of church and state.

As a lawyer, Monique Pardo Pope has an obligation to the truth.

Yet she's equivocated on the facts of her father's case, misrepresenting the court's findings on his mental state.

And as my bar complaint details, she even outright lied about the outcome of litigation involving me in order to smear the messenger, inventing a defamatory lie that I lost a lawsuit that I actually won.

Best case scenario, she's incompetent and doesn't know how to do the most basic legal research.

Worst case, she's a malicious deceiver, willing to spread lies without compunction.

Either way, she's grossly unqualified for the position she's running for and perhaps even the profession she's in.

Her father was a serial killer, but Monique Pardo Pope may be a serial liar.

And she is now just one ballot away from being a Miami Beach City commissioner.

It is the end of an era.

On Tuesday, December 9th, we will have a new mayor in the city of Miami, Francis Suarez.

Fancy posters.
