Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez issued a statement today in response to President Joe Biden's call for reforms at the U.S. Supreme Court.
"The Biden-Harris Administration is taking a page out of socialist dictator Hugo Chavez's playbook and taking America down the path of Venezuela," said Rep. Gimenez. "The first thing the socialist regime did in Venezuela was 'reform' the country's Supreme Court. This move is what undermined Venezuelan democracy and allowed for Maduro to consolidate his tyranny over the Venezuelan people fighting for freedom. We must reject the Biden-Harris Administration's pathetic, short-sighted call for 'reform' at the Supreme Court because we cannot allow what happened in Venezuela to happen here in America."
Congressman Carlos Giménez represents Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys. He is the only Cuban-born member of the 118th Congress, having fled his homeland shortly after the Communist takeover of Cuba. He is also noted as the first career firefighter paramedic elected to the House of Representatives and served as the former Fire Chief of Miami and Mayor of Miami-Dade County. Currently, he serves as Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security, as well as a member of both the Armed Services Committee and the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
