During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) signed an agreement with Trinity Health Care Services to register residents for COVID vaccines. The FDEM, according to USA Today, owed $50,578.50 on an invoice but accidentally paid $5 million more...

In response to USA Today's reporting, Inside Elections' Jacob Rubashkin went to X, formerly Twitter, and posted, " Holy cow! Florida says it accidentally paid a healthcare company $5.7 million instead of $50k. That company's CEO, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, then loaned herself $6.2 million to win a congressional race."

Florida says it accidentally paid a healthcare company $5.7M instead of $50k. Rather than returning the money, company CEO, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, then "loaned herself" $6.2M to win a congressional seat.

Per Wiki:

“serving as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 20th congressional district. Her district covers most of the Black-majority areas in and around Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. A member of the Democratic Party, she won a special election in 2022 to fill the seat left vacant after the death of Alcee Hastings.

Cherfilus-McCormick voted with President Joe Biden’s stated position 100% of the time in the 117th Congress, according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis.”

She won the Democrat primary in 2022 by 5 votes.

When you look at her vote count history, including 2020, it is evident she knows how to work the system like most Democrats.

In addition to the overpayment,

“Trinity Health Care Services received $2.4 million from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, according to publicly available databases.”

The source and extent of Cherfilus-McCormick’s wealth isn’t clear. The Miramar resident is CEO of Trinity Health Care Services, a home health agency also based in Miramar. Cherfilus-McCormick hasn’t filed legally required financial disclosures that show a candidate’s income, assets and liabilities.”

As far as the lawsuit, it was just filed on December 31st, so no court dates have been scheduled yet.

Did an A.I. write this? That should be, "As far as the lawsuit goes, it was..."

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

Cherfilus-McCormick was born in Brooklyn [on January 25, 1979], a borough of New York City, to parents from Haiti and raised in the borough of Queens. She moved to Florida at 13 to attend high school. She earned a B.A. in political science and government from Howard University and a Juris Doctor from the St. Thomas University School of Law.

After graduating from college, Cherfilus-McCormick served as a project manager for the New York City Transit Authority. From 1999 to 2007, she worked as the vice president for operations of Trinity Health Care Services, a Florida-based family home health care company co-founded by her stepfather, Gabriel Smith. She later served as CEO.

Her predecessor, by the way, Alcee Hastings, had the distinction of being the first (so far) Black federal officer to be impeached. (He was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day of office.)

Real scum-bags!

She's Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), just in case you wanted to avoid searching for her party affiliation.

Yhx......she was vice president for operations of Trinity Health Care Services, a Florida-based family home health care company co-founded by her stepfather, Gabriel Smith. She later served as CEO.

Her seat’s predecessor was Alcee Hastings, w/ the distinction of being the first Black federal officer to be impeached. (He got a midnight pardon from Bill Clinton.)

FDEM overpaying bribing a Democrat Congressional candidate?

Methinks something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Looks like a solid opportunity for Pam Bondi and her people.

Not that it will matter much. Whoever that district sends to replace her will be just as bad.
