Social media influencer Alex Otaola hopes to be next Miami-Dade County mayor | Facing South Florida

CBS News Miami's Jim DeFede devotes the entire half-hour to social media influencer Alex Otaola, who wants to be the next mayor of Miami-Dade County.
The candidate, who is 45 years old and came to the United States more than 20 years ago, has built a media empire by hosting his own Spanish-language show on KZread with nearly 700,000 subscribers. While there are a lot of people who may not know who Otaola is, politicians seeking the Cuban vote know him well and have been courting him for years.
Otaola understands English but came on the program with his translator because he prefers to speak in Spanish. The two discuss, among other things, why he is running and thinks voters should elect him. They also discuss some more controversial things surrounding the mayoral candidate.
Guest: Alex Otaola/Candidate, Miami-Dade County Mayor
Catch Facing South Florida With Jim DeFede on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET.

    I like Otaola but the language barrier is a problem for many that do not speak Spanish in Miami-Dade. The whole McArthy commissions 2.0 doesn't fly.... Black Face is not acceptable even with an apology. Trash talking Puerto Ricans is also appalling...

    Desde que invento la palabra disculpa todos nos creemos con el derecho de maltratar y ofender a las personas y después pedir disculpa como si nada hubiera pasado y sin tener consciencia que las palabras dejan marcas y huellas

    Pay attention to Otaola’s face during the interview. He was not prepared for probing questions. In some parts, he looked frustrated because he wanted to explain with more words but had to rely on interpretation. I would not even like to be in his interpreter’s shoes. Other bilingual candidates would have shined, but Otaola stunk.
