Allen West Endorses Carlos Curbelo And Democrats Rejoice

At a recent event in Washington D.C., Former U.S. Rep. Allen West backed fellow Republican Carlos Curbelo of Miami against Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia. Curbelo’s campaign has yet to trumpet the endorsement, but Democrats did it for him, emailing the news story to reporters.
“After Carlos Curbelo was caught on camera calling Medicare and Social Security a ‘Ponzi scheme,’ it’s no surprise that Tea Party champion Allen West is backing his campaign,” David Bergstein, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in a statement. “This is just the latest example showing Curbelo puts his own political interests and the agenda of his Tea Party political allies like West over the values of South Florida families.”
