Florida candidate says alien abduction doesn’t define her

U.S. House candidate Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera has a long list of accomplishments to bolster her campaign in Florida. But she is perhaps best known for claiming that she was abducted by space aliens as a child.

Rodriguez Aguilera is a longshot in the race for the Miami-area seat being vacated by retiring Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Yet last weekend, the Miami Herald endorsed her for the GOP nomination in the Tuesday primary out of a field of nine candidates.

In an interview, Rodriguez Aguilera said she is grateful for the endorsement and that her tale of kidnapping by aliens does not define her.

It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

And I mostly hang out with aliens. Real ones.

The problem is....across the US presently, I’d say well over 10,000 people now claim that they’ve been kidnapped by Aliens. People identify to the kidnapped idea and in Florida....it might sell well.

“...and now runs a business training women in other countries how to run for political office”

Sounds like she would be great at that endeavor.

I saw this episode of Frasier. It doesn’t end well for her.

Rodriguez Aguilera says she was taken aboard a spaceship as a young girl by blond extraterrestrials who resembled the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. She says they told her that the “center of the world’s energy is Africa” and that thousands of non-human skulls were once discovered in a cave on the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Apparently she isn’t even going to win the Republican primary.

In its Sunday editorial , the Herald reported that two of the leading Republican candidates — former Miami-Dade commissioner Bruno Barreiro and Spanish-language television journalist Maria Elvira Salazar — did not take part in the paper’s endorsement process. And beyond Rodriguez Aguilera, the editorial found the remaining candidates unprepared or unqualified.
