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.

Her campaign staff is out of this world.

Her descendants might have grounds for a lawsuit...

Her story is the same as “Dude Where’s My Car”.

Is that one of the blond aliens?

Hmm...Hollywood is looking for the next comic book movie...

aliens will cross the border and vote for her.

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.

Try multiplying that figure by a hundred.

You won’t believe this, but I’ve heard some People say she looks like Bette Midler.

They’ve said it over and over again.

The GOP grassroots has an incredible organization in Theta Reticuli.

Collusion at last!

#21. If you want proof that aliens are on Earth, just look at the Democrats in Congress.

Your Honor, I rest my case!

Wow. Here I am a Floridian.... this, seems like a bad idea.

She’s in 3rd place in the primary. Not to worry.
