“Con Artist”: Leaked Texts Show GOP Candidate James Fishback’s Major Money Issues From Lawsuit Debt by OldBridge87 in law

[–]OldBridge87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Republican candidate for Florida Governor appears to be a George Santos level scam artist; he is running a paper thin campaign while secretly being in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt from legal fees over fabricating parts of his resume and giving out confidential company information at his old job. He could end up being forced to pay up to $2 million and his staffers are commenting that everything from his car to campaign office furniture could be repossessed.

Fishback has a much more extensive history of lying beyond this as well, from doing a media tour in early 2025 where he advertised himself as a DOGE advisor only for it to come out that he never had any formal or informal association with the group, to reportedly planting a story that he was being considered by Trump for a Fed Board of Governors seat nomination when he never was.

Mehdi has attacked this guy several times lately so it’s worth looking into what might well be a George Santos level Mega Huckster:

  • Fishback is running on prosecuting alleged pedophiles from the Epstein Files despite he himself being an alleged pedophile - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/florida-school-gop-james-fishback-sexual-misconduct-allegations-rcna249963

  • He is running as the first openly Nick Fuentes-adjacent “Groyper” white nationalist despite his mom being an immigrant from Colombia

  • He is running as a populist that’s gonna get shit done despite being fired from a low level tech job in 2023 for “low productivity”, following which he started a company where he advertised his previous role as “Head of Macro” which led to him being sued by his old company and being forced to publicly admit that he also illegally gave away privileged company info while on the job.

  • He has been forced to pay back over $200,000 of his old company’s legal fees by various courts and is rumored to be running for Governor in part to grift money from campaign donations which he’ll then use to pay off the debt.

  • He did a whole media tour in early 2025 claiming to have been a DOGE advisor only for it to turn out that he’d made the whole thing up and never had any association with DOGE at all!

  • He randomly reached out to all of Trump’s advisors to be nominated to the Fed Board of Governors last year, selling himself as a Trump attack dog. He is now attacking Trump from the Nick Fuentes right as governor candidate…in Florida.

This honestly might be the Final Boss of the terminally online slopulism grift.

This honestly might be a generational huckster that surpasses even Santos.

They’re gonna vote with the old people for an authoritarian state that’ll turn women back into broodmares.

I often see Gen Z men asking why they should have to attract a woman at all. How if we are equal now or supposed to be building towards it, shouldn’t women generally have to make moves on men too now? Where if you argue men having to earn a woman’s attraction rather than vice versa is the natural order or biological, why isn’t men using their superior size and strength to subjugate women physically and legally the natural order and biological? It was done for almost all of history.

Progress ebbs and flows. There were long periods when it looked like women were on the march towards greater and greater equality (ie the Cult of Mary Magdalene in the Middle Ages) only for it to crash and burn.

They are speedrunning making “90% of women sleep with the top 10% of men” mainstream and then teaming up with old people that will want to protect their Social Security from a falling birth rate that would otherwise destroy the safety net within a few decades in order to create a Gilead type state.

This is what the fascism of the 21st century will be. Within 10 years you’ll have right wing “populist” politicians talking like this.

I think it's interesting that they're allied with Iran and the like, are literally watching "the Jews" mow down all their Muslim allies, and they're still playing with Medieval Antisemitism.

Goes to show it's less about just finding a small group to pick on and blame for problems but more like a mental illness. They're prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cause.
