The Florida Legislature opened its annual session Tuesday as issues of sexual misconduct continued to overshadow policy with the release of video from a secret surveillance camera prompting two Miami-Dade senators to admit to having an extramarital affair.
An anonymous website that appeared early Tuesday claimed to have evidence of an affair between state Sens. Oscar Braynon, D-Miami Gardens, and Anitere Flores, R-Miami.
Shortly before the Senate session began, the two veteran lawmakers issued a joint statement saying that they do not want gossip and rumors to distract from the important business of the people. However, they acknowledged, our longtime friendship evolved to a level that we deeply regret.
We have sought the forgiveness of our families, and also seek the forgiveness of our constituents and God, the statement read. We ask everyone else to respect and provide our families the privacy that they deserve as we move past this to focus on the important work ahead.
Braynon is the leader of the 15-member Senate Democratic Caucus. Flores chairs the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee and is one of Senate President Joe Negrons closest advisers. Both are married.
The website gave the impression that it was the work of a private investigator, complete with what appeared to be a written report and video clips claiming to show Flores entering and leaving Braynons condo in Tallahassee during the final week of the 2017 regular legislative session. There is no information on the website regarding who owns it, who wrote the text that appears there, or who supplied the video.
Yup! Each reached across the aisle.
A RINO intentionally getting screwed by a Democrat. Sounds like DC...
I guess she likes that black sausage. Idiot.
At last. Great bipartisan relations.
THE UNIPARTY WINS AGAIN!
