A second private WhatsApp group chat created by Miami-Dade GOP Secretary Abel Alexander Carvajal, titled “Los Jodadores” (Spanish for “The Troublemakers”), has emerged. The chat, which was operating alongside Carvajal's other now infamous "racist" chat, reveals that the elected secretary of the Republican Party of Miami-Dade County openly cheered the potential defeat of Miami-Dade’s sitting Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, and welcomed the idea of her being primary challenged, not to mention openly conspiring to destabilize the Republican Party from within.
In one exchange, Carvajal wrote, “I am not a fan of Salazar…I am mildly apathetic to her winning or losing lol.” He later added, “I’m not impartial to her being primaried if I can be honest.”
Those comments, made in the secret group chat Carvajal created and administered, may raise alarms among party members and political operatives who warn that such rhetoric from a member of the Miami GOP’s board threatens Republican victories at a time when unity is critical.
The concerns are serious. Miami-Dade County remains one of the most competitive and expensive political battlegrounds in the country. Party insiders warn that intraparty warfare against a sitting Republican member of Congress risks fracturing donor support, diverting resources, and weakening Republican chances in a cycle already expected to be challenging.
The exchange escalated when Dariel Gonzalez, another participant in the chat, bluntly declared, “I want her O U T.”
Rather than pushing back or cautioning against division, Carvajal responded coldly: “Welcome to the club.”
For many within the party, that response could be mortifying. As Secretary of the Miami-Dade GOP, Carvajal holds one of the organization’s important leadership roles — a position traditionally tasked with supporting Republican candidates, maintaining party discipline, and advancing shared goals.
Openly expressing apathy toward a Republican’s defeat — much less endorsing efforts to remove her — appears to stand in contrast to those responsibilities, and the GOP Loyalty Oath.
Screenshots from Carvajal’s other group chats show repeated instances of racist, antisemitic, and demeaning language, as well as a pattern of behavior in which Carvajal shows hostility, recklessness, and disregard for the party’s mission.
Elected officials familiar with Miami-Dade GOP say the implications are serious.
“When a county secretary doesn’t care if a Republican loses a congressional seat, that’s not just gossip — it’s a breach of trust,” said one elected official who wished to remain nameless in this article. “Unity isn’t optional in a county like Miami-Dade. It’s survival.”
The timing of Carvajal’s remarks has further heightened concern, given the stakes of the 2026 midterm elections, when Republicans are expected to defend a narrow House majority amid a highly competitive national environment. Strategists widely view Miami-Dade as one of the most expensive and difficult swing regions in the country, and any fracture within the Republican coalition could have consequences well beyond South Florida.
Party insiders warn that if Rep. Salazar were to lose Miami-Dade — whether through a divisive primary or a weakened general election campaign — the seat could easily flip, contributing to a potential loss of the U.S. House for Republicans nationwide.
Backing Democrats over Republicans?
While he didn't say he would vote for Democrat Ron Magill, Carvajal did float his name out as a potential challenger to Rep. Salazar. Gonzalez did say he would vote for Magill.
The animal-lover and conservationist Magill entertained the idea of running against Rep. Carlos Gimenez during the 2022 general election cycle.
Conspiracy: Implementing Operation Chaos to Takeover the Republican Party
The messages give a shocking glimpse into a bizarre and concerning plan to disrupt the organization and divide members. Apparently, the group's motives are exclusive to its agenda, not the Republican Party's America First Agenda.
This plan is not new in American politics. Over the past several election cycles, extremist activists on both ends of the political spectrum have used ANTIFA-style gorilla tactics to undermine or "savage" establishment political organizations from within.
“Welcome fellow co-conspirator,” Carvajal wrote as he added members to the chat.
It quickly turned serious.
Discussions in the chat ranged from strategies to recruit individuals to disrupt GOP meetings, grievance-filing campaigns, procedural disruptions, and explicit plans to remove party leadership through coordinated attacks.
“There will eventually be a meeting where things get blown up,” Carvajal tells the chat, and signals that a "full-on floor rebellion" could sink the monthly meeting into chaos.
Rather than discussing precincts, voter registration targets, or getting out the vote, the chat quickly became consumed with internal vote counting—a running tally of which members Carvajal could rely on to disrupt meetings and seize control.
Carvajal repeatedly counted his alleged internal supporters.
“Look our core of young folks and people I personally recruited,” he wrote.
Gonzalez, a fellow Carvajal recruit, emphasized the need to recruit people who would be blindly loyal to Carvajal without question.
“Who will do what we ask when needed, with little to no question? If so then we’re set.”
Carvajal reassured him.
“All of them lol” he laughed.
Carvajal’s chat focused on seizing party control for himself, where he states if he can recruit more party members, 'we will be dead set to win this war."
Gonzalez proclaimed, “We need these folks to be iron tightttt to challenge” party leadership.
The language of “war,” “floor rebellion,” and “victory” recurs throughout the chat, underscoring how internal power struggles appeared to be more important than winning elections countywide.
Another strategy is to overwhelm meetings and frustrate loyal party activists, so they leave.
Participants in Carvajal’s chat repeatedly discussed manufacturing quorum disputes, questioning the legitimacy of votes, and strategizing how to overwhelm meetings with coordinated objections.
“How can you prove that those who shouted yea and nay were members of the committee and not guests/randos,” one participant asked. Another suggested filing multiple grievances for the same meeting—“one for the meeting time, one for lack of quorum, one for not listening.”
In the chat, Carvajal strategized how to overwhelm meetings with disruptions.
“[Chairman Cooper] can’t fight a full-on floor rebellion,” he wrote. “We just have to plan better before the next meeting.”
Gonzalez distilled the tactic into a slogan: “Its easy to shut one up. Hard to shut us all up.”
“These meetings are an embarrassment!” Dariel Gonzalez wrote after reviewing official minutes.
“Bad look for the party,” he wrote. “But small price to pay for victory," he stated.
Even more concerning, Carvajal openly planned “mock meetings” so that he and other chat members could practice their disruptions and schemes.
“We’re going to have to hold a mock meeting” Carvajal announced to the chat.
The chat's mentioning that several Miami Young Republicans were onboard with their motives could speak to a bigger conspiratorial narrative.
We reached out to the Miami YR President, Miguel Granda, for comment.
"The mention of Miami Young Republicans conspiring is a false assumption," Granda said. "Our focus is on supporting and electing Republican candidates countywide, not disruptive activities."
Carvajal actively encouraged his secret chat’s members to file grievances against their own county party with the Republican Party of Florida, sharing links, screenshots, and even a step-by-step instructional guide and outlining the precise language to use in the complaint.
The same pattern emerged in discussions about other Republican candidates.
Carvajal wasn't enthusiastic for Emilio González, the Republican mayoral hopeful in Miami last year, calling his prospects bleak and, at one point, declaring, “I do not believe Emilio’s chances are sexy—I am sorry to say.”
Even as concerns grew about Democratic momentum, the chat continued to pivot to disruption strategies—grievances, rule violations, and countdowns to leadership challenges. “There will be no greater cause to remove [party leadership] than this,” Carvajal wrote before the November Mayor’s election.
Carvajal has ignored all the calls for him to resign. Everyone from Senator Rick Scott, Rep. Byron Donalds, State Rep. Juan Porras, State Senators Ana Maria Rodriguez, Ileana Garcia, and Alexis Calatayud, and others, has all denounced the racist and antisemitic statements made in the first group chat, and called for Carvajal's resignation.
Rep. Salazar has also condemned the chat.
