Hialeah Police Department sergeant who serves as its spokesman said his colleagues would “allow the investigation to reveal that” politics came into play, but there was “no indication that is the case” as yet. The police report mentions just two others involved—not four as Rubio stated—and includes no mention of political motivation. Instead, it says one of the two other parties actually was attacking suspect Javier Lopez—not Monzon.
Monzon absolutely has no obligation to tell his story to the public. But after initially agreeing to interviews, he canceled them. His phone is going to voicemail. Perfectly fine, but it raises some red flags. Rubio’s allies are quietly telling reporters that Monzon was actually working for the Republican Party of Florida, not the campaign proper; it’s a distinction that may matter in courtrooms.
