Possibly the most insane and certainly the most geographically concentrated place where ex-President Trump’s debunked rigged election claims morphed into gospel truths—including the debunked Dominion voting machine conspiracy—is South Florida’s Spanish talk radio universe.
Here, some 20 pro-Trump hosts and a long roster of guest “analysts” on six Spanish-language AM stations have for four years waged a daily nonstop attack campaign portraying President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris (now the Democrats’ presidential nominee) as “extreme leftists” bent on installing a socialist dictatorship in, or even “destroying,” the United States.
Always in the mix is the conviction that Democrats stole the 2020 election using rigged voting machines and other means of cheating and are conspiring to fix this November’s presidential results against the man many listeners still call ‘‘el presidente” (“the president”) or “nuestro presidente” (“our president)” or even “el mejor presidente en la historia de los Estados Unidos” (“The greatest president in the history of the United States”). Talk of rigged elections sometimes comes with declarations that if Trump loses this November, disbelieving supporters will protest violently.
And here, it’s as if Dominion Voting Systems never sued Fox News for defamation in 2021, or won a quarter of a billion-dollar settlement in April of last year against the often-inflammatory television news broadcaster.
“That Dominion thing is totally true. That’s going to be proved,” guest commentator Esteban Gerbasi declared in Spanish this past Jan. 22 to Augustín Acosta and Marián de la Fuente, co-hosts of a four-hour show on Actualidad Radio (WURN 1040 AM). During a 40-minute interview that Monday, Gerbasi, a Venezuelan native who resides in Miami-Dade, said he belongs to a “great team” that has done “a big investigation” into Dominion voting machines. “We already know where the cheating is done, how the cheating is done.”
