Rep. Carlos Gimenez didn’t hold back in trashing his fellow Republican from Miami.
There’s apparently no love lost between the former mayor of Miami-Dade County, Rep. Carlos Gimenez , and the current mayor of the City of Miami Francis Suarez, a fellow Republican and newly minted presidential candidate. Fox News asked Gimenez about his view on his former colleague, who filed paperwork on Wednesday to seek the GOP 2024 nomination for president, and he did not mince words.

He’s not qualified to be anything.
