Statement by CatholicVote President & CEO Kelsey Reinhardt on the conviction of Jimmy Lai:
“The Chinese Communist regime’s conviction of pro-democracy Catholic activist Jimmy Lai is a grotesque travesty of justice and a naked abuse of state power.
Lai’s 'crime' is not any legitimate offense, but his refusal to submit his conscience, his faith, and his voice to an authoritarian system that fears truth more than disorder.
This sham verdict exposes Beijing’s courts for what they are: instruments of political repression, not guardians of law.
In punishing Jimmy Lai, the regime is not enforcing justice. Instead, it is criminalizing courage, silencing religious freedom, and sending a chilling warning to anyone who dares to speak freely.”

🚨 $7.5M for sporting events?
@Emilioformiami says Miami’s leaders always find cash for “VIP parties”—but not for flooding, safety, or affordability.
He slammed @EileenHigginsFL for backing over $40M in giveaways while residents get left behind.
