Florida GOP paid thousands to far-right Charlottesville attendee
The Florida Republican Party paid thousands of dollars over the summer to a far-right activist who attended the white nationalist Unite the Right rally in 2017 and later charged at a crowd of anti-racist demonstrators with a Confederate flag.
Christopher Monzón, 30, was paid more than $10,000 by the party between June and September, federal campaign finance records show.
Neither Monzón nor the Florida GOP responded to HuffPosts request for comment about the payments.
