Readers react to blog posts and stories from the July 11 issue. On July 12, we wrote about Apopka televangelist Paula White praising the detention centers where thousands of migrant children are being held without their parents in an interview with CBN News. After touring one facility, she said, she found the center “amazing,” adding, “Not just three square meals – psychiatric care, clinician, medical care, chapel, events, schooling, language, and love.” When asked if any biblical scriptures came to mind during her visit, White said, “I think so many people have taken biblical scriptures out of context on this, to say stuff like, ‘Well, Jesus was a refugee.’ Yes, He did live in Egypt for three-and-a-half years. But it was not illegal. If He had broken the law then He would have been sinful and He would not have been our Messiah.” @Dave Hardison Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t Jesus already born when his family fled to Egypt? So technically, at the request of angels, Jesus did break immigration law. @Rico Hogan Jesus did break the law. He
healed on the Sabbath, he came into contact with the unclean, he harvested wheat on the Sabbath! And that’s just three examples. @David E. Conley Next thing you know she’ll be saying, “Crucifixion: It was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for those immigrants.” On July 13, we reported that Marion Hammer, one of the nation’s most renowned gun lobbyists and former president of the National Rifle Association, has filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages for online harassment. Hammer says she became the target of a “coordinated attack intended to humiliate, harass and cause substantial emotional distress” after a gunman killed 17 students and teachers at a Parkland high school. The libel lawsuit filed in federal court alleges California mediator Lol Sorenson and three others called her “a worthless cunt” and told her she should be the victim of “100 bullets between [her] eyes.” @John Reinholdt What a joke! Isn’t free speech and protest part of the same constitution that the NRA clings to for gun rights? @Jason Byrd Marshall That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.

Rick Scott decides not to enforce his own dumb beach law, the I-4 Ultimate project is a disaster, a Republican thinks immigrants should pay for the wall and other news you may have missed last week. »
Orlando Magic suspend partnership with Papa John’s: The Magic suspended their partnership with Papa John’s after news broke that former chairman John Schnatter used a racial slur during a media training exercise in May. The franchise made the announcement on Twitter, officially halting their relationship with the franchise. Before the severed connection, the Magic had offered fans Papa John’s discounts like 50 percent off pizza after a Magic win. Schnatter resigned as chairman amid a growing uproar about his comments, which, according to Forbes, included statements like “Colonel Sanders called blacks n******s” (but never faced any backlash).

Rick Scott tells Florida officials not to enforce his own dumb beach law: The governor issued an executive order last week blocking state agencies from taking action to limit public beach access, contradicting a law Scott signed in March that made it easier for property owners to kick people off their private beachfronts. The law, which went into effect on July 1, makes it harder for local government to establish “customary use” access on private properties where owners might put up “no trespassing” signs. In Florida, the “wet sand” area below the mean high water line, toward the sea, is public, but the “dry sand” area above that belongs to property owners.

Florida lawmakers are pressing FDOT for answers about I-4 construction being $100 million over budget: A report from Moody’s Investment Service found that the “I-4 Ultimate” project is 245 days behind schedule and $100 million over budget. The project’s status, which was originally set to take six and a half years to complete, was changed from “stable” to “negative.”

Central Florida Republican wants to make undocumented immigrants pay for Trump’s border wall: Congressional candidate Scott Sturgill says he wants to make undocumented immigrants pay for the president’s border wall. Sturgill, a Stanford businessman who’s running for the seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Winter Park, says his “Mix-the-Mortar-to-Fix-the-Border Plan” would force undocumented immigrants to pay $2,000 toward building a border wall with “big, shiny solar panels” as restitution for their “crime against American sovereignty.”

City of Orlando thinks it has a fix for downtown’s panhandling issue: As complaints of aggressive panhandling are on the rise, the city of Orlando is now seeking alternative solutions to dealing with the homeless. One solution in the works is a new social media campaign designed to educate tourists, locals and downtown businesses about how they can help the homeless by donating to charity organizations and using apps like Samaritan. The City Council approved a $725,000-a-year initiative called the Downtown Ambassador Program in May, which provides services like “acting as safety escorts for workers and residents, helping visitors navigate their way to one of our many venues for an event, connecting our most vulnerable individuals to critical social services and curbing aggressive panhandling.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

In his bid to unseat Darren Soto, the always-bombastic Alan Grayson is as unabashed and unfiltered as ever. But in the year of anti-Trump resistance, why do Central Florida progressives seem so tired of his schtick? BY M ON I V ET T E COR D EI R O

U
.S. Rep. Darren Soto’s phone was buzzing nonstop inside the small, dimly lit lobby of the Super 8 motel. Moments before, officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
confirmed the news: FEMA would pay for Puerto Rican evacuees displaced by Hurricane María to stay for five more nights at hotels on the order of a federal judge. FEMA, though, didn’t immediately tell the hotels – and some managers had started kicking families out at checkout time. Using the Super 8 on Highway 192 as a base, Soto and his staff worked to get the word out about the new deadline. At times, Soto rushed out of the lobby into the early July heat and drove down the Kissimmee tourist strip, stopping at hotels to make sure families weren’t being asked to leave. “This will give us a few more days to hopefully get some of these families that have been more difficult to place a place to go,” the Orlando Democrat told reporters.
This is how it had been for months. Tens of thousands of people fled after the storm destroyed their homes in September, most ending up in Florida. FEMA gave Puerto Rican evacuees hotel vouchers that were renewed monthly. Every two weeks, displaced families would wait anxiously for FEMA to tell them if they were allowed to stay or whether they’d need to find their own shelter – a difficult task given that affordable housing is scarce. Soto’s staff had helped get extensions for individual cases while Soto joined Florida lawmakers in sending letters and calling out FEMA officials for underfunding aid to Puerto Ricans. For Alan Grayson, that wasn’t enough. The bombastic firebrand who used to represent Soto’s congressional district before leaving in 2016 to run for the U.S. Senate insists he could have done more in the aftermath of María – or at least been louder about it. “Puerto Rico now suffers from the greatest discrimination in the entire country,” Grayson says. “[I would have] fended off the discrimination. It’s absurd. FEMA took four times as long to send any permanent aid to Puerto Rico as it took to send aid to Texas. What did [Soto] do about it? What did he do? As far as I know, nothing.” Grayson, 60, is challenging Soto, 40, in the Aug. 28 Democratic primary for the 9th Congressional District, which stretches from southeast Orlando to Kissimmee and St. Cloud, then south to Haines City, Winter Haven and Yeehaw Junction. Although Grayson lives outside of the district, in Windermere, federal law only requires candidates to live in the same state. The winner will go on to face Republican Wayne Liebnitzky in the November election, but given the district’s partisan lean, the victorious Democrat will almost certainly prevail. The Cook Political Report, for instance, does not rate this seat as competitive. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the district by 13 points. Of the district’s nearly 833,000 residents, about 40 percent identify as Hispanic or Latino, according to 2016 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. And the district is rapidly changing. Puerto Ricans were already leaving the island for Central Florida in 2016 because of the financial crisis; María has only accelerated that exodus. That demographic shift would seem to favor Soto, the first Florida congress12
man of Puerto Rican descent. Still, Grayson, a Jewish New Yorker, claims his internal polling (which he declined to share with Orlando Weekly) shows that he’s ahead. Both men are seeking the mantle of “true progressive.” Grayson famously rose to national prominence by telling Republicans in 2009 that their health care plan for the nation boiled down to “Don’t get sick,” and if you did, “Die quickly!” But on policy, the two are more alike than not, and both would almost always oppose Donald Trump. The real difference is that, unlike the lower-key Soto, Grayson will always crank his opposition to 11. Another difference: their supporters. Or in Grayson’s case, former supporters. Democratic leaders, grass-roots activists and lawmakers across Central Florida have coalesced behind Soto. Quoting Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress, Grayson likes to say he’s “unbought and unbossed,” pointing to small-dollar donations from across the country that have funded his campaigns. But over the years, the self-made millionaire has also alienated progressive allies in Central Florida. His run for Senate disintegrated after domestic abuse allegations. Some of his former supporters still remember his years in Congress fondly, but they wonder why he came back. The campaign mudslinging has already begun, though it’s mostly a one-way stream of attacks in Soto’s direction: Grayson has called him “ineffective,” “an elephant in donkey’s clothing,” “no Winston Churchill,” and “boring,” a lawmaker not willing to stand up to Trump. Soto has kept his comments on Grayson brief: “He’s rich and mean.”
The feud between Grayson and Soto has been
brewing since 2016, the year Grayson tried to make the jump to higher office. The Harvard-educated lawyer, who made a career out of representing whistleblowers and his dogged prosecution of Iraq defense contractors who committed fraud, had first run unsuccessfully as an anti-war candidate for Congress in 2006. Two years later, he ran a more disciplined campaign, beating four-term Republican Ric Keller 52–48 in District 8, which spanned from Ocala to south Orlando.

Grayson’s freshman term was marked by his outbursts – from brazenly attacking Republicans on their refusal to support Obamacare to taking Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to the mat during a committee hearing while wearing a tie made of play money, which won him accolades from liberal activists. Sometimes, however, he was unable to restrain his worst impulses. During an appearance on The Alex Jones Show (yes, that Alex Jones), he called an adviser to Bernanke a “K Street whore.” (He later apologized.) He lost his 2010 re-election campaign by 18 points after running an ad that called his opponent Daniel Webster “Taliban Dan,” an allusion to Webster’s conservative religious beliefs. After redistricting created a safely blue seat in District 9, Grayson made his comeback, trouncing Republican Todd Long by 25 points in 2012 after accusing Long of being a domestic abuser, which Long’s ex-wife later said was false. Back in Congress, he became an outspoken critic of President Obama’s Syria policy. He also became adept at the art of legislating while in the minority. In interviews, Grayson never fails to mention that the online magazine Slate called him “The Most Effective Member of the House” in 2013 for his propensity to add amendments to bills, most appealing to the libertarian tendencies of his GOP colleagues. But he never lost his bomb-throwing sensibilities. In 2013, for instance, he sent out an incendiary fundraising email likening the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan that featured an image of a burning cross. Grayson shrugged off the backlash: “If the hood fits, wear it.” His over-the-top rhetoric had the Democratic establishment terrified of Grayson’s 2016 bid for the U.S. Senate. Party leaders rallied behind the moderate U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, a former Republican whom they deemed more electable and less embarrassing. Grayson couldn’t have cared less. Democrats, he boasted in 2015, are “willing to crawl over hot coals naked to vote for me.” They weren’t. To say his 2016 run in the Democratic primary for Senate was marred by controversy is an understatement. It was a shitstorm. First there was the New York Times report that alleged the anti-corporate hero ran a hedge fund in the Cayman Islands during his time in office, amassing millions. The Office of Congressional Ethics said in its report that there was “substantial reason to believe” several allegations of impropriety, including accusations that Grayson had a congressional staffer use official resources while working for the hedge fund. When a reporter asked him about the hedge fund, he shot back, “Are you some kind of shitting robot? You go around shitting on people?” “I was exonerated,” Grayson maintains. “They decided not to investigate because the charges didn’t make any sense.” (That’s not quite true. The completion of Grayson’s term in January 2017 ended the House Ethics Committee’s jurisdiction over him before the committee finalized its review of the report’s findings.) Then there were the domestic violence allegations from Grayson’s ex-wife and the mother of his five children, Lolita Grayson, who accused her former husband of threatening to kill her and abusing her over two decades, including four incidents in which police were called in Orange County and Virginia. In a 1999 report released to Politico, Lolita Grayson told police in Fairfax County, Va., that her husband had previously thrown her to the floor and hit her “on the back of the head with a large [object].” Grayson has denied those accusations, instead accusing
DARREN SOTO
his ex-wife of “repeatedly” hitting him. “It’s even ridiculous to talk about it,” Grayson says. “My ex hit me twice in the face – you can find that on YouTube.” The 2014 video to which he’s referring, shot by one of Grayson’s former staffers, appears to show Lolita Grayson striking her husband in the face, which Grayson says contradicts a police report she later filed. In a statement at the time, the estranged couple’s 18-year-old daughter said, “At no time did my father hit or push my mother.” Somehow, things only got worse. Grayson got into a shoving match with the Politico reporter who initially reported on the domestic abuse allegations. Longtime national progressive allies dropped their endorsements. He got into an argument with then Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid at a Congressional Progressive Caucus meeting, in which Reid told Grayson that he has “no moral compass,” accused him of being unethical and said, “I want you to lose.” Political analysts considered Grayson’s campaign dead in the water. And it was. Murphy won the Democratic nomination going away. Grayson got just 17 percent of the vote. In November, Murphy was spanked by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, 52-44.
change her name to Dena Grayson on campaign materials and the ballot. “She’s going to have my name, and I’m going to spend a lot of money on television,” Grayson said of his new wife, U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel told Politico at the time. But Grayson’s name wasn’t enough. Randolph and Dena Grayson split votes in Polk and Orange counties, leading to Soto’s victory in the four-way primary with 36 percent support. Soto went on to handily win the general election. The Grayson machine, though, never sleeps. Two days after Election Day in 2016, he got a $400 contribution toward his next campaign and continued raking in cash over the next year. Months after Donald Trump was sworn in, Grayson launched lockhimupnow.org, which asks for donations to The Resistance PAC. It’s not clear how much of the money has been spent on “resisting” the Trump administration (however vague that term might be), but federal records show the almost $52,600 from the political action committee has gone to consulting services, a voter data mining company and about $4,000 to one current Grayson campaign staffer.
As his Senate bid was spiraling, Grayson
Alan Grayson went wrong. The first woman to represent the state of Colorado in the U.S. House was a champion in Grayson’s corner year after year during his re-election bids, partially because of his stances on reproductive rights. In a video from 2010, the Celebration resident said she was “lucky enough to have Alan Grayson as my congressman. And believe me, what a delight he is.” But in 2016, Schroeder and other local women leaders endorsed Randolph. She’s not sure when it happened, but her relationship with Grayson deteriorated, now to the point where Schroeder has accused Grayson of hiring protesters to show up at Soto’s rallies – including one event where a protester held a sign calling U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel “senile.” Grayson calls the allegations of fake protesters “irresponsible” and “baseless.” “I’m very sad that Grayson is doing this,” Schroeder says. “I wish he would run in some other district that he could flip. I don’t know why he’s doing this.” Schroeder is one of several former Grayson supporters in Central Florida who can’t fathom why Grayson would challenge a sitting Democrat – though, privately, they suggest that it’s about his considerable ego than anything else. Schroeder and former Orange County Chair Linda Chapin were attending a “Women for Soto” event in June where Frankel was speaking. Like the other nine Florida Democratic members of Congress, Frankel has endorsed Soto’s re-election. Beyond the crowd, Schroeder says she and Chapin saw a group of young people with a sign that read, “Lois Frankel: Still Senile.” “We were shocked,” Chapin says. “We were amazed that someone would take that extreme a measure just to try and discredit Frankel. Lois had come from South Florida just to support Darren.” Soto says one of his campaign staffers approached the protesters, who told the staffer they were “paid $500 by Grayson to carry these signs and they go where the money is.” Previously, protesters had shown up at another of Soto’s rallies, this time with signs calling him an “NRA sellout” and saying he was “willing to cut Social Security.” Calling Frankel an “icon in the fight for women’s equality in Florida and the nation,” Schroeder and Chapin sent a letter to the Democratic National Committee and the
was also running a shadow campaign in District 9. Soto, a former state senator, launched his campaign for the open congressional seat after spending almost a decade in the Florida Legislature. Born in New Jersey to an ItalianAmerican mother and a Puerto Rican father, Soto moved to Orlando after getting a degree in economics from Rutgers University in 2000. After graduating with a law degree from George Washington University, Soto went into commercial law, though he did take up civil rights cases, including a 2006 federal class action suit against the city of Kissimmee by Latino voters. He joined the Orange County Young Democrats, a powerhouse group of progressives in Central Florida that helped elect former state Rep. Scott Randolph, currently the Orange County tax collector. Soto made it to the Legislature in 2007 but got off to a rocky start. Though he was praised for his environmental record, progressives lambasted him for voting for abortion restrictions including mandatory ultrasounds and a 24-hour waiting period. He was given an “A” rating by the National Rifle Association and backed a 2011 bill that banned doctors from asking patients about their guns. Soto says his positions have evolved. He’s voted against abortion restrictions several times, helped lead efforts to defeat the 24-hour waiting period while in the state Senate and has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood. His opinions surrounding gun restrictions changed after the Newtown school shooting in 2012, he says. “All my opponents will always bring up 10-year-old and 8-year-old votes,” he says. “Voters know better. I’ve been endorsed by Planned Parenthood in my last five elections now. I regret votes that were 10 years and older. They aren’t reflective of my opinions over the last decade.” Grayson’s district director and former community organizer Susannah Randolph – Scott Randolph’s wife – also decided to seek her boss’ seat. But Grayson declined to support her, even though she was among his closest political allies. Their relationship went south, and Randolph left the office after learning Grayson wouldn’t give his blessing. As it turns out, Grayson already had someone in mind, and it was neither Soto nor Randolph. It was his girlfriend, Dena Minning. Grayson married Minning – a medical doctor and federal lobbyist representing a pharmaceutical company – a few months before the election, giving her enough time to

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee asking for them to investigate Grayson. “It’s an ugly kind of thing to do to a supporter of an opponent,” Chapin says. “Frankel used to be a colleague of Alan Grayson in Congress. They served together. I can’t imagine what’s going on in his head. All the people who used to support Alan before used to think he was pretty edgy, he was smart and funny, but I think people just can’t reconcile what he’s doing now with the kind of person they thought he was.” Grayson says there’s nothing in his financial reports that indicates he paid anyone to protest. “It’s a pathetic effort by the Soto campaign to try to distract people,” he says.
It’s not clear what Soto would want to distract
people from. After all, the coalition of progressive groups – including seniors, African Americans, Latinos, union members and the LGBTQ community – that previously propelled Grayson to victory have all but abandoned him. The incumbent has also received high-profile endorsements from figures like former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights legend. Soto may not have Grayson’s national presence, but neither does he have his baggage. And in office, he’s developed a reputation as a workhorse for his constituents. “Soto works better,” says Fernando Negrón, host of the left-leaning political radio show “Quédate con Miguel” in Orlando, who previously supported Grayson. “Grayson is more about grandstanding, being on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, which I like. But I want a guy that does something, not just a loudmouth.” Grayson, though, sees cracks in Soto’s armor. He points out that Soto lost the 2016 primary in Polk County. “Polk Democrats are more liberal than Orange County Democrats,” Grayson says. “In Polk County, the Anglo vote is a liberal vote, and in many cases a union vote, so the teachers weren’t happy with Darren’s support for charter schools. I think that both the white vote and the black vote in Polk were very unhappy with Darren’s record on guns.” However, several African American public officials in Polk County are supporting Soto, including Winter Haven Commissioner Nat Birdsong, Lake Wales Mayor Eugene Fultz and prominent Winter Haven community activist Twanna Dewdney. Ruth Ann Eaddy, a Lake Hamilton resident, says Soto has provided more constituent services to the area than Grayson ever did, including securing money for new police cars and nearby fire departments. “I think [Grayson] is just doing it for spite because Darren beat his wife,” Eaddy says. “Darren has been able to work in the state Senate and House when it’s been all Republicans and has been effective. He can work across the aisle and he knows how to find common good. He’s not a loudmouth. He’s very humble and he just does his job.” Keith Laytham, an advocate who works with the resident group Friends of Poinciana Villages, says Soto was instrumental in procuring $11.9 million to open a Valencia College campus in Poinciana and fought to obtain funds for the Poinciana Parkway. “He pays attention to the needs of the people,” Laytham says. “From a political standpoint, a lot of the things Grayson says I find to be attractive, but it’s a big disappointment to me that he chose to run against Darren Soto. Why didn’t he choose to take on some of the Republicans? Why did he have to go after a Democrat doing a good job?”
Asked that question, Grayson campaign manager Brook Hines says District 9 is where the former congressman can win. “Alan is running to win,” she says. “He’s not running for vanity.” Hines, who served as Grayson’s deputy communications director during his Senate campaign, says she’s been a Grayson fan for a while because he’s been one of the most successful small-donor fundraisers in Congress. He’s always run on a progressive platform. Aside from being an effective legislator who led efforts to audit the Federal Reserve, Hines says Grayson was also successful at bringing money home, including getting funds for the Orlando VA Medical Center. “He’s unbought and unbossed,” she says. “That’s one of the things for me that’s wrong with the way our electoral system is working right now. There’s too much special interest money. Even really good people, good Democrats can get caught up in that contributor/donor cycle of taking corporate money and serving special interests instead of real people.” Grayson has so far raised more than $500,000 from individual contributions since January 2017, leaving him with nearly $700,000 in cash on hand as of the end of March, according to campaign finance reports. Most of the contributions – about $421,000 – were in increments of $200 or less. More of Grayson’s funding, though, is coming from California ($70,482) and New York ($49,123) than Florida ($38,834). In the same period, Soto raised nearly $571,000 and has $364,000 on hand. Most of his money came from large individual contributions and PACs, including $7,500 from American Crystal Sugar and $2,000 from NextEra Energy, a utility company whose subsidiaries include Florida Power & Light. Most of Soto’s contributions, though, are from Florida ($138,377) and Puerto Rico ($31,800). Soto’s detractors have long criticized his contributions from sugar and utility companies. And Grayson has slammed Soto for taking money from charter school proponents, including $230,000 from a Texas billionaire during the 2016 primary. “If you look at Darren’s FEC reports, you see a troubling pattern,” Grayson says. “He’s simply bought and paid for.” Hines says Soto has also shown he’s “clumsy,” referring specifically to a statement he made in January, when he instructed Puerto Rican evacuees to tell federal authorities they intended to stay in Florida, whether they planned to or not, to access medical benefits. Doing so could be interpreted as lying on a government form, which is illegal. “Many recently arrived Puerto Ricans have a high probability of staying in Florida,” Soto told WFTV. “The intent of my statement was to encourage them to err on the side of caution and declare their intent to stay if they are in doubt about their future plans.” Jeremy Fetzer, of the group Osceola County Brass Tax, told WFTV that he filed a complaint with the Congressional Ethics Committee about Soto’s remark, though the ethics committee would not confirm whether an investigation was taking place. (According to its Facebook page, Brass Tax “is dedicated to getting the word out on issues facing our County, State and Country thru the collective of our community.” Its photo section is full of pro-Trump memes.) Still, Soto’s statement has served as fodder for the Grayson campaign’s effort to discredit Soto’s efforts to help displaced Puerto Rican families. “If you’re going to represent people and going to support them, leadership requires more than just strongly worded letters,” Hines says. “Darren’s trying to fill a very big boot, and he just hasn’t quite yet – it’s still a bit large on him. For
me, it’s about wanting a congressman who knows how to get things done, who’s just a bulldog and going out there to make things happen.” But Jimmy Torres-Vélez – a former labor organizer who was a finalist for the Orlando Sentinel’s Central Floridian of the Year award for his aid to Puerto Rico after the hurricane – says Grayson was nowhere to be seen when he and others were collecting donations for the island. “I didn’t see Grayson in any of the warehouses,” he says. “He didn’t organize trips to Puerto Rico. He hasn’t been with the families displaced from Puerto Rico. So why is he claiming he wants to do anything? He says he’s a gutsy guy – well then, go and challenge one of the Republicans all over Florida who are doing very bad things to this state.”
Just under the surface, there have been vague
accusations of “identity politics” in this heavily Hispanic district. In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Grayson said Soto wanted to “make this about someone who claims Puerto Rican heritage, by virtue of the fact his father was born [there] and he left as a small child, versus an Anglo from New York.” “I view him saying that as the highest compliment,” Soto says, “because that just shows he can’t communicate with those groups in an effective way. And they’re scared.” If Grayson is scared, he’d never admit it. To do so would run counter his very nature. Since he stepped onto the political stage, Grayson has oozed confidence and selfassurance, often to the point of condescension, and has quite obviously held his political rivals in contempt. Darren Soto is no exception. As is Grayson’s wont – and might be well-suited to the age of Trump – the challenger has lobbed plenty of pointed jabs at the incumbent during the campaign. In the first few paragraphs of a June fundraising email, for instance, he called one of Soto’s speeches “flat,” “boring,” and “a simple desultory philippic.” (Philippic is a 10-dollar word for “tirade.”) In a more recent fundraising message, he called Soto a “bootlicking lackey to the NRA,” “professional poseur” and “whiny.” “We’re talking about the issues that matter to people,” Soto says. “We’re talking in positive terms. The mudslinging is only going one way.” Indeed, this race is much more about style than substance. Both men have come out strongly against Trump policies. Grayson just does it more belligerently. “I’m one of the few people running for office this year who has the courage to come out and say Donald Trump should be impeached and convicted and removed from office,” he says. Soto says he’d vote for impeachment after the Russia investigation wraps up. Grayson, who has paid to put up a billboard in Polk County calling for people to “DUMP TRUMP,” says there’s no reason to withhold judgment. “I think there’s already ample evidence that this is worse than Watergate,” he says. “We’ve already reached the threshold where the president should be impeached. It’s a dereliction of duty to wait any longer than that.” Soto argues that he’s stood up to Trump when it’s productive, not just to “make more copy in the newspaper.” “We have called Trump out multiple times for his underfunding of the disaster, for the death count, for so many other things,” Soto says. “But most of this productive work that gets done is through Congress and through FEMA. “Foaming at the mouth and standing on your desk will produce little additional results.”

CHRIS KING
NO PLACE TO GO BUT UP With the Democratic gubernatorial primary approaching, does Winter Park businessman Chris King still have a fighting chance? BY XAN DER P ETERS
I
t doesn’t matter if Chris King has lived in the polling basement throughout his campaign for Florida governor, or that his bid hasn’t gained much traction with either elites or Democratic Party activists. Nor does it matter that all the savvy politicos think the logical move would be for him to bow out of the primary. That’s not going to happen, King says. After all, these are more radical than logical times we’ve living in. Besides, King, a Winter Park real estate entrepreneur who’s never held elected office, has
produced an ambitious agenda that has the potential to distinguish him from the Democratic pack – if it hasn’t already. He just needs more voters to notice. “If I was going to get out [of the race], we had qualifying last week,” King told Orlando Weekly in late June. “That would’ve been a great time to do it, because now we’re on the ballot. But I’ve got to hustle. We’ve got about 10 weeks and I’ve roughly got to travel about 10 points.” He’s referring to an internal poll that
shows his support rising ahead of the Aug. 28 primary. In the survey, he’s just 10 and 9 points behind the frontrunners. According to public polling, however, he’s much farther back. Two recent independent polls have put King at 3 percent and 6 percent support, respectively – between 16 and 26 points off the leaders, albeit with plenty of undecided voters. So how realistic are King’s chances? “He doesn’t have great name recognition and he doesn’t have a lot of money, and in order to run competitively and

win in Florida, a statewide race, typically you have to have a lot of money or a lot of name recognition – or both,” says Aubrey Jewett, a political scientist at the University of Central Florida. “He’s just not well-known; he hasn’t been running television ads over and over again.” Less a firebrand than a soccer-dad type, King has been on the campaign trail for more than a year now. In that time, he’s called for free community college and trade school, major criminal justice and gun reform, the legalization of recreational marijuana and a crackdown on Florida’s sugar industry for the environment’s sake, as well as a surplus of other progressive talking points. It’s a platform custom-built to make liberals swoon. But even with miles of marches worn into the soles of his shoes and thousands

CHALLENGERS ANDREW GILLUM, GWEN GRAHAM, JEFF GREENE & PHILIP LEVINE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
of hands shaken, no one’s swooning. Or at least, not enough people are swooning to make King a top-tier contender. That’s especially evident when you notice that the small donor contributions to King’s campaign aren’t rolling in like they need to – that is, not in the manner they did for other dark-horse candidates, such as Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential election. On some level, this makes sense. Why would Democrats invest in an inexperienced candidate at a time when they have former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, establishment favorite and former congresswoman Gwen Graham, and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum to choose from? And that’s not even counting the other wild-card candidate – Palm Beach real estate tycoon and billionaire Jeff Greene, who entered the race in early June. According to a recent poll from NBC News and Marist, Levine is out front with 19 percent, Graham is close behind at 17 percent, Gillum is further back at 8 percent, Greene at 4 percent, and then there’s King, bringing up the rear with 3 percent. Another poll from early June offered similar results: Levine leading with 32 percent, King fourth out of five with 6 percent. The poll numbers are reflective of how much money each campaign is working with, too. Levine’s campaign, some of which the wealthy former businessman has self-funded, has about $15 million to play around with. Graham’s has just less than $10 million, and has her family (former Florida governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham, as well as the Graham family of the Washington Post publishing fame) to thank for a heavy chunk of it. Greene’s campaign, which is totally self-funded, has more than $7 million. King has about $6 million, a big chunk of which comes from
his own pocket. And Gillum – who prides himself on being the only non-millionaire candidate, and who’s received about 18 percent of his funding from billionaire George Soros and an affiliated organization – is working with a little more than $4 million. The mountain he has to climb is very steep indeed. But that doesn’t mean King’s campaign has been quixotic. Because of his forward-thinking platform, he’s already made his mark on this race, whether or not his fellow candidates are willing to admit it. In his own words, he’s the one reporters call the “substance candidate, the bigidea candidate, the candidate swinging for the fences.” “So I think that’s been the irony for most folks following our race closely,” King says. “The guy who’s been the entrepreneur and the community activist and philanthropist is leading the Democratic debate as relates to the issues we’re talking about.” The first such issue was King’s position on Florida’s sugar industry. King argues that Big Sugar’s deep pockets and vise-grip on elected officials has prevented the state from addressing pressing environmental issues. “I came out in speech one and said I’m not going to take [the sugar industry’s] money,” King says. “I’m not going to be beholden when it comes to Florida’s
environment.” He was the first to do so when he kicked off his campaign in April 2017. Though it took months for them to do so, his fellow candidates eventually followed suit. While Gillum remained mostly mum on the industry, with his spokesman saying he didn’t want to “demonize” sugar workers, Levine tacked the pledge onto his set of environment-friendly proposals in April, which means something coming from the guy who has leveraged his campaign on Miami Beach’s attempts to combat sealevel rise. The night before the first Democratic debate in early June, Graham gave away $17,400 donated to her by a political committee associated with the sugar industry during her time in Congress. Then there was gun reform – a major talking point of King’s campaign. In early June, King came out with a proposal called Every Kid Fund for Gun Violence Prevention. It’s what most folks refer to as a bullet tax. While his fellow candidates have called for all-out bans on assault rifles – Graham has said she’d do it through executive order, Gillum has said he’d close any loopholes and Levine has simply called for a ban – King’s idea goes further, and has substance. “What I could not understand is why after [the Pulse nightclub shooting], nothing happened in Tallahassee. Nothing

changed, no laws were passed, nothing happened. Of course, after Parkland we had a different response. I would argue that it still didn’t go all the way,” King says. His idea is to implement a tax on weapons and bullets to pay for gun violence intervention and prevention programs, school safety measures, and new studies of gun violence. King also intends to use the tax to pay for the medical costs of victims of mass shootings. He also wants to use revenue from legalizing and taxing pot and money saved from lowering incarceration rates toward this cause. Though Gillum was the first to come out in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana, King tied it to a broader agenda. Together, their calls for legalization began to push their fellow candidates. With Levine signaling his support of legal weed in early June, that leaves only two Democrats – Graham and Greene – opposed. Graham has previously told the Weekly that she would rather initiate Florida’s medical marijuana program first. Greene has said he’d like to see more studies. King says he has also helped spark a conversation among candidates about ending the “school-to-prison pipeline” and the death penalty. To tout his agenda, King set out on what his campaign called the “Turning the Tide” tour in May: One goal he pitched to those in attendance is to reduce the prison inmate population by 25 percent over the next five years and 50 percent over the next decade. To this day, King remains the sole candidate in favor of nixing the death penalty. “I think he’s certainly been part of the reason why the Democratic candidates are espousing more progressive policies,” Jewett says. “He’s not the only reason, but he’s certainly one of the reasons. He’s out there on the left, and he’s pushing hard. I think a lot of progressive Democrats would like what he’s proposing in terms of policy – if they knew about him.” As a candidate, King says he’s tried to build a tent big enough to fit all Democratic voters inside, and not just for, say, the rival gangs – in other words, the Hillary and Bernie clans. He also says that he’s not interested in joining someone else’s ticket as a lieutenant governor candidate if he’s not able to pull out a win. For King, it’s the governor’s mansion or bust. “I recognize that based on my value system I’ve got some tough forces ahead of me,” King says. “But this is me, and it’s what I’m selling to Democrats – that I’m not just trying to win an election, I’m trying to be transformative. Even if they beat me, ultimately, I’ve done what I was supposed to do.” xpeters@orlandoweekly.com

CHARDO RICHARDSON | PHOTO BY JOHN KEMPER
BUT THE MONEY, HONEY Can Chardo Richardson unseat Stephanie Murphy with a cash-poor campaign? BY XAN DER P ETERS
C
hardo Richardson is adamant about the fact that he and his committee are going to eventually replace every member of Congress willing to take corporate money. Formed by staffers and supporters of the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, they call themselves Brand New Congress – and their calls for reform are as clear as the political action committee’s name. They want to raise the minimum wage, institute nationwide campaign finance reform, create a justice system that works for all (as is evident with their fierce calls to abolish the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement agency), and they think free public education and free Medicare for all are rights, not privileges. The grass-roots organization is the latest progressive firing squad aimed at the Democratic Party establishment. Its ammunition includes candidates like Richardson, an Air Force veteran and the president of the Central Florida American Civil Liberties Union; Democratic challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who pulled off one of the election season’s biggest upsets so far when she defeated U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley in their New York City district’s primary; and a surplus of other
young, charismatic progressives. But there’s a hitch in the case of Richardson. A political nobody, how is he supposed to pull off a feat like unseating U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy in Florida’s 7th Congressional District when he’s only raised $34,000, as compared to Murphy’s $2.3 million? The question is a head-scratcher, as is Richardson’s confidence when he flaunts the deficit in campaign funding between him and his Democratic primary opponent. “We all knew we weren’t going to outraise the machine. We’re not taking the big money,” Richardson says. “So how are we going to outraise them?” Richardson doesn’t answer the question, instead opting to fluff the rhetoric around his platform. He talks of how Murphy is too ready to compromise with her fellow elected officials. He says Murphy should “stand up for something,” and that “it almost appears that she’s scared to rock the boat or she’s incompetent.” He says these things at a time when Democratic voter turnout has been recorded as two to three times higher than on average, and at a time when many Americans’ peak frustrations come from the lack of bipartisan cooperation among congressional leaders. Murphy’s campaign disagrees. Though her campaign stops short of calling to abolish ICE, Murphy campaign spokeswoman Christie Stephenson tells Orlando Weekly that Murphy does have a habit of standing up on plenty of issues. Most recently this was demonstrated in the way Murphy spoke out against the Trump administration’s policy of separating children from their parents. “Less than two years ago, Stephanie Murphy successfully unseated a Republican incumbent who had held
his seat for over 20 years, becoming the first Vietnamese American woman to serve in Congress,” Stephenson tells Orlando Weekly. “Since taking office last year, Stephanie has stood up to special interests, fought for women and working families, supported seniors and veterans and has been a national leader in reducing gun violence. Her results speak for themselves as Stephanie believes if you work hard and put people first, the politics will take care of itself.” For candidates like Richardson, though, it’s an all or nothing game. The era of incrementalism, of half-measures, is over. The times demand boldness. The thing is, Democrats see a blue wave on the horizon. And to take back the House, they’ll need districts like Florida’s 7th, which isn’t like the Bronx district Ocasio-Cortez won, where the victor in the primary is all but guaranteed a seat in Congress. Two years ago, Murphy, a centrist and prodigious fundraiser, edged out John Mica by a scant three points. So it’s worth asking: Might a much more liberal and much more poorly funded Richardson lose an otherwise winnable seat in November? Even so, Richardson sees himself – and Brand New Congress – as the party’s future. Change might not come overnight, or even in one election cycle, but it is coming. And soon enough, he says, more and more Democrats will be forgoing corporate donations. “I don’t believe that I’m better than Stephanie Murphy as a human being,” Richardson says. “I believe that we have just a little more courage, because it takes courage to say that I’m going to run and know that I’m going to get my ass kicked when it comes to money.”
“I don’t believe that I’m better than Stephanie Murphy as a human being,” Richardson says. “I believe that we have just a little more courage.”

BY SETH KUBERSKY “INGENUES ANONYMOUS” | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY
Last week, Orlando’s cultural
community lost its biggest, brightest booster with the passing of philanthropist Harriett Lake. Lake was a beloved legend in Central Florida, as much for her outrageously fabulous senses of fashion and humor as for the fortune in arts funding she donated. I was lucky enough to interview Lake in 2014 when she opened up her extensive closet for a charity sale, and she was still sharp and saucy despite declining health. Harriett’s name will forever live at the arts organizations she generously supported, from Orlando Shakes’ Playfest and Mad Cow’s smaller stage to the Doctor Phillips Center’s luxurious pink ladies room. But Lake didn’t only support established institutions like Orlando Ballet, which recently received $5 million from her for their new headquarters; she backed small, emerging companies and independent artists with equal passion. As a journalist, I can’t write seven- (or even four-) figure checks, but I can follow Harriett’s example of patronage using the power of print. Therefore, in honor of Lake’s legacy of looking out for the little artists who might someday become big, this week I’m lending my Live Active Cultures platform to the Impulse Project, a promising new theater company that mounted their first public production at the Venue last weekend. In musical theater jargon, “ingenue” is often synonymous with a certain simpering, love-sick stereotype of femininity, so it’s no wonder that the characters labeled as such should suffer from serious psychological issues. Enter Ingenues Anonymous, a satirical self-help group for the Great White Way’s brokenhearted babes and an ideal premise for a “tragically romantic cabaret.” The “meeting” was hosted by South Pacific’s Nelly Forbush (Aly Grauer), who wants to wash that man right out of her

Grauer’s dry wit set the show’s sly tone as she arched an ironic eyebrow at every iconic cliché. Highlights of her sisters’ sufferings included Tamir Navarro’s glass-shattering “I Feel Pretty” en español; Kristin Paradero’s comical flip-chart presentation of Waitress’s “When He Sees Me”; Adam Noecker, the cast’s lone male member, doing amusingly awful Ann-Margret drag; and Danielle Irigoyen’s delirious “Bride’s Lament” from Drowsy Chaperone. The performers – who were mostly newcomers to Orlando, or otherwise previously unknown to me – packed vocal talents that ranged from solid to superb, and I appreciated some of the less obvious song selections, like The Little Mermaid’s Ariel (Tricia Wiles) not singing “Part of Your World.” Better yet, director RJ Silva expanded the show beyond a basic “park and bark” cabaret into a satisfyingly fleshed-out hour, with lively staging, entertainingly amateurish props and an empowering ending: “Forget About
the Boy” led by Grace Flaherty as Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. Silva started the Impulse Project with producer Ashley Ahr, whom he met while working behind the scenes at Walt Disney World. Both had theater backgrounds but weren’t working as entertainers, and had the urge to make art. “We were kind of like, we need to create theater for ourselves,” recalls Silva. “We initially started talking about it after Pulse happened, which is were we got the name from,” adds Ahr. “We wanted to try to figure out what we could do to donate back … because we were inspired by all the other things that were around us.” True to the troupe’s name, Silva says this show “came out of an impulse” as he imagined which Broadway characters would attend an Anonymous meeting. He rented the Venue before he’d even written the script, and he cast performers he knew from working on previous productions at the Garden Theatre and the Orlando Fringe. It was originally conceived as a simple cabaret, but Silva discovered in development that they could “take it a step further, and build a story around it,” with the actors staying in character and reacting to each other from the sidelines throughout the show. Now that their first production has closed, the Impulse Project has turned its efforts toward an Indiegogo campaign to fund their future plans. “Our biggest goal is to have a cyclical producing cycle, where we start creating content, have shorter readings [and] grow that into a bigger thing,” says Ahr. “Hopefully by the Fringe Festival we’ll have a new original production to put out there.” In the meantime, look for staged readings from Impulse at Dragonfly Studio in Ocoee this fall. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Garlic is listed twice under the dish’s called “on fleek” and “LeGit,” “Shrimpnado” description for good reason; every noodle had
minced garlic clinging to its starchy strand. Diners can choose a protein to top their tousle of noodles (either shrimp or crab), but the shrimp I chose might as well have been absent. The protein addition is understandable as a reason to charge the entrée price, but wholly unnecessary. There’s a whiteboard behind the order counter that you’d be remiss to ignore, even though the staff taking our order obviously had. The questions we asked about the specials went largely unanswered due to admitted ignorance – stated as “no one has ordered it, so I don’t know what it is.” We trusted in the kitchen and ordered a Filipino longanisa sweet sausage bowl ($9.50) from the board. The charred chorizo sat atop a neutral palette of white rice, spring-mix greens, slivered green onions and a nicely fried medium-well egg. Next to the fountain drink station, a bevy of Asian condiments sat ready: fish and oyster sauces, the ubiquitous sriracha, rice vinegar and more. A couple of dashes of this and that served the bowl well, though not quite as well as a thoughtfully prepared sauce from the kitchen would have. Dessert was disappointing. Asian sweets are exciting (Red bean! Taro! Pandan! Grass jelly!), and it was a shame that this area of the menu was so overlooked. There’s only one, called “Matcha-Dusted Cheesecake,” ($7) but the sparsely sprinkled matcha powder was negligible, and calling a fried eggroll wrapper filled with banana and a whiff of creamy filling a “cheesecake” was a stretch. Also, the whipped cream was lifeless, flavorless and likely canned. You can do better, guys. Other than dessert, the haste with which we were hustled through our meal was the only sour note. Sending dishes to the table when they’re ready, rather than as set courses, works for Kai, and gives the middle finger to conventional restaurant mores that you might expect from this unconventional crew. But attempting to clear plates while they’re still being enjoyed is a cardinal sin (not to mention coming back a second and third time to ask if we’d finished when we obviously hadn’t). This is especially frustrating when there’s no line out the door or diners hovering for a seat. These lapses in service and the one, uninspired dessert can be forgiven in a street-food atmosphere, where there’s usually a donut or cupcake truck parked just a few feet away. But in a restaurant, there’s gotta be more than just good food on a plate. Isra and Quan clearly have their flavor profiles down pat, but for Kai to be successful, they’ll need to hone their full-service chops a bit further. There’s a sign at the front of the restaurant declaring that the restaurant is still in “soft opening,” and to be patient with any mishaps. But it’s July, and Kai has been open since February. Time to grow up, grasshoppers.

Pastas aren’t made in-house, and spaghetti tre formaggi is a textural fail, but beef eaters will certainly get their fill of the bistecca pizzaiolo. The cannoli and tiramisu make gratifying endings.

MAI BISTRO
Gleaming, modern eatery offers its takes on Vietnamese street fare ranging from beautiful banh mis to stellar sticky rice bowls. Meaty banh bao and fresh spring rolls are also offered; vegans may want to give the meatless noodle soup a try. On the sugary drink front, say yes to the passion fruit milk tea and trad Viet coffee. Say an emphatic no to the durian smoothie. Closed Wednesdays. 1830 E. Colonial Drive, 407730-8538; $$
TARTINE WINE BAR & EATERIE
College Park’s paean to all things bready focuses on the tartine, of which the roast beef and the mixed mushroom versions are quite gratifying. Other French-leaning dishes – middleneck clams in a spicy white wine broth, escargots baked in a croissant shell, and the tallow candle – are worth a look. Pastries are always worth saving room for, the chocolate mousse on a crunchy hazelnut praline in particular. French beers and a small yet interesting wine list are offered. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. 2445 Edgewater Drive, 407-845-0016; $$
DAJEN EATS VEGAN CAFÉ & CREAMERY Jamaican vegan fare makes the Citgo on North OBT near Lee Road the most unique gas station in town. Dishes ranging from rice & peas with sweet and spicy cauliflower bites and crispy fried chick’n seitan to “loona toona” sandwiches are offered. Eight different varieties of vegan ice cream fashioned from coconut milk are also sold. Note: DaJen Eats will close its Citgo location this summer and move into a permanent location in Eatonville. 4845 N. Orange Blossom Trail, 407-286-4983; $
SOUTHERN SPICE
There’s plenty to sample from the stacked menu of usual and unusual suspects of southern Indian fare. Dosa lovers will heartily indulge in the mainstay’s puffy cousin – kuzhi paniyaram – while those with a propensity for more intense flavorings will want the veg Chettinad curry cooked in no less than 28 spices. For a taste less charged, kola urundal ($16) comes spiked with a sprig of fried curry leaves and with magnificent little fried lentil “kofta” lolling in the thickened swell. Whole marinated pompano coated with semolina and pan-fried is a must. Open daily. 7637 Turkey Lake Road, 321-251-2244; $$
CHELA TEQUILA & TACOS
Kasa’s tapas and small plates give way to Chela’s tacos and tortas in a rebrand by the Bento Group. While grilled flour tortillas are OK, corn tortillas can be requested. We liked such shareables as roasted cauliflower with Indo-Mex flavorings and corn on the cob with a smoky, cheesy, peppery finish. A creamy guac is bright but not too bright, and the chicken-jicama slaw makes a worthy, if safe, main. If you must have dessert, choose the choco taco to close. Open daily. 183 S. Orange Ave., 407-985-5272; $$ n

SUMMER SCHOOL Here’s what you should be watching to catch up on the year’s best indies BY P E G A LO I
S
ure, you’ve seen some of this year’s runaway blockbusters like Black Panther and Incredibles 2. But maybe you’re wondering which arthouse fare you’ll be wanting to keep an eye out for in the run up to the year end awards season. 2018 is shaping up to be an outstanding year for cinema. Some recurring themes include corrupt fascist governments, gaslighting psychopaths, health insurance scams, and military veterans who are definitely not doing OK. Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay doesn’t make films very often (her last one was 2011’s We Need to Talk About Kevin, a compelling portrait of grief and guilt starring Tilda Swinton), but when she does, it’s an incendiary event. This year’s offering, You Were Never Really Here, stars Joaquin Phoenix as a mercenary who hunts down child sex traffickers. Phoenix gives his usual inscrutable, complicated performance as Joe, a man with a traumatic military past and a lonely personal life caring for his elderly mother. The film’s dreamy lighting and color, urban vistas and closely observed interiors, plus its heart-stoppingly good sound design, form a sturdy frame for this portrait of determined vigilante justice, in what many critics are calling the best film of the year so far. Hereditary is generating a lot of buzz, and while it can be irritating to see so many
hyperbolic claims about how scary a horror film it is, this debut from Ari Aster is indeed spooky and disturbing. The alwaysoutstanding Toni Collette stars as an artist whose grief-torn family starts experiencing some haunting weirdness in their house, where her recently deceased mother seems to have been involved in some extremely creepy social activities. Great cast including Gabriel Byrne, Ann Dowd and some very effectively eerie naked people. If a rollicking political comedy is more your cup of tea, Armando Ianucci’s anachronistic period piece The Death of Stalin is screamingly funny, but occasionally punctuated with moments of dark verisimilitude. Ianucci trades his usual documentary-style camera work (as seen in In the Loop) for a more seamless cinematic style befitting the grandiose historical story presented here. A first-rate cast studded with comic genius (Jeffrey Tambor, Steve Buscemi, Andrea Riseborough, Simon Russell Beale, Michael Palin) and flawless directing make this a must-see. Speaking of Andrea Riseborough and Steve Buscemi, check them out in the odd indie gem Nancy, about a young woman who fancies herself a fantasist, and the bad behavior that catches up with her. Another underseen indie about a young woman whose anti-social ways make her a black sheep is Beast, starring the outstanding
KidFest: Cool Runnings Comedy loosely based on the formation of Jamaica’s bobsled team for the 1988 Winter Olympics. Sunday, 1 pm; Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland; free; 407629-0054; enzian.org.
Irish actress Jessie Buckley. Set in a rural but wealthy village on the Isle of Jersey, this unusual thriller is hauntingly beautiful, erotic and chilling. My tastes lean towards dark fare, which may be why I found Unsane, Steven Soderbergh’s iPhone-shot psychological thriller to be so satisfying. Claire Foy is fabulous as a young business executive who is involuntarily committed to a psych ward after a routine counseling session where she discusses her ongoing trauma brought on by a relentless, mentally ill stalker. There’s implausibility galore, but the fear Foy’s character feels is horrifyingly realistic. Joshua Leonard also stars as the crafty psychopath. Leave No Trace is currently playing and well worth seeing on the big screen. Like her breakout indie hit Winter’s Bone, Deborah Granik crafts a worlds in which her characters feel at home in, but also at the mercy of, wild nature. Ben Foster, in a stunningly subdued performance, is a traumatized war vet who lives off the grid with his teenage daughter (fantastic newcomer Thomasin McKenzie), on the run from his own demons. My favorite foreign film so far this year is Loveless, a Russian film from the director of Leviathan. It tells the story of a divorcing couple whose young son goes missing after school one day, and their difficulty reconciling their hatred for one another as they must cooperate in searching for him. The film’s straightforward style is both lyric and brutal, its emotional simplicity raw and hard-hitting. You may not be able to shake this one off so easily.

The Equalizer 2
BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER
THIS WEEK: The Equalizer 2 Before its release, the first Equalizer movie looked like the apotheosis of a project that didn’t justify its licensing fees. Why bother using the name of an almostforgotten TV series to attract an audience to a garden-variety Denzel Washington picture like copious others (Man on Fire, anyone)? But the 2014 film earned a tidy profit anyway, so we’re getting a sequel that takes the franchise even farther from Edward Woodward. This time, Washington’s former covert-ops man is out for revenge after an old friend and colleague is murdered. If it’s likewise a hit, expect a 2022 tie-in with OkCupid: Equalizer 3: This Time It’s Personals. (R) Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again And speaking of milking it, here’s a 10th-anniversary sequel to the jukebox musical about uncertain parentage and other lighthearted topics. As her own pregnancy gestates, beautiful bastardette Amanda Seyfried takes the occasion to learn even more about her mother’s mysterious past. The big question, though, is what’s left over from the ABBA catalog to use on the soundtrack. And the answer is: a few legitimate hits, some deep album cuts (“When I Kissed the Teacher”? Jesus!) and a bunch of favorites shamelessly recycled from the first flick. Thank God Benny, Björn et al finally announced their reunion, because the prospect of new compositions means I might not have to be hearing “My Love, My Life” when I’m 63. (PG-13) Unfriended: Dark Web A standalone sequel to the microbudget horror hit, the second
Unfriended was supposedly “shot in secret.” (Meanwhile, we’ve all seen a few films we wished had been released in secret, amirite?) Dark Web takes us deep into a shadow world discovered by the new owner of a used laptop. What happens there is anybody’s guess, particularly as the ending of the film was allegedly changed completely after its March premiere at SXSW. But I’m inferring the “other people’s bookmarks” angle makes this a message picture: Kids, clear your browsing history! And invest in a good bleaching program. Especially if you’re sure you never want to be president. (R)
ALSO PLAYING: Leave No Trace Winter’s Bone director Debra Granik once again shows us the humbler side of American life, in the person of a veteran (Ben Foster) with PTSD who tries living off the grid with his teenage daughter (Thomasin McKenzie). In steps the government to force them to live a life of more traditional dependence, and OH MY GOD YOU GUYS WE’RE PUTTING BABIES IN CAGES. Sorry, back to movies. (PG; playing at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20 & RPX) Soorma A biopic about Indian field hockey star Sandeep Singh, whose success on the field was interrupted when a gunshot injury put him in a wheelchair. Fortunately, Singh made a complete recovery, and nobody had to do any time, because Tonya Harding made it look like an accident.

Frontman Ian McCulloch spoke to Orlando Weekly from his home in Liverpool obsessives.
GREAT LIVE MUSIC RATTLES ORLANDO EVERY NIGHT
as he packed his bags. “In November, it will be 40 years since we started,” says the singer in a broad Scouse accent. “It seems like a good time to look back. And if anyone’s going to do a reappraisal, it should be us.” The sentiment is classic Mac. The singer has always been both proud and protective of the band’s legacy, often citing Echo & the Bunnymen as the best band in the world. He conceived the new album – and this summer’s greatest-hits live set – as a not-so-gentle reminder of the band’s accomplishments. After all, their songs continue to be featured in movies and television, and they’ve been covered by artists from Nouvelle Vague to Coldplay. “It’s a way of reminding people what songs we’ve written,” McCulloch explains. “I mean, sometimes I’ll be reading a comment board or something like that and someone will say ‘The Killing Moon’ was written by the Cure. That pisses me off.” After all these decades, McCulloch still enjoys performing, even if the remaining 22 hours of the tour day are less exciting. “I love being on stage,” says McCulloch, “but being on the road is something else. Still, if we’re going to do a four-week tour, me and Will, we prefer to do it in America. It’s so varied, and it’s fantastic to look at. Every city has its own feel. It’s a pleasure to play there. Everything works. Nothing goes wrong. The audience is the important thing for me, though. They’re real Bunnymen people in America.” Despite a handful of Florida appearances over the years, including a performance at the House of Blues in 2006, McCulloch laments that he hasn’t seen much of the Sunshine State. “Florida was always the hardest place to tour,” he says. “It always seemed to be off the route. More often than not it’s a financial thing, I suppose.” He recounts a family vacation to Disney World that left him unimpressed – “I’m more of a Daffy Duck man, to be honest” – but says he’s keen to see Miami one fine day. When I mention that Iggy Pop has relocated there, McCulloch comes alive with backstage tales from the 1980s. There was that one time Iggy crashed the Bunnymen’s dressing room wearing blue suede shoes. Finding himself face to face with one of his all-time heroes, McCulloch asked, “Iggy? What are you doing here?” To which the Godfather of Punk replied, “I always come to your gigs!” “If you’re reading this, Iggy,” McCulloch deadpans, “come to this one too.”

Lingua Ignota MUSIC
Now, noise-filth duo the Body are amazing, don’t get us wrong. In fact, our mind races back to seeing them years ago in a warehouse in Jacksonville, bolstered by the divine Assembly of Light Choir, and we nearly wept. But the opener they’ve chosen for this tour has us utterly agog: Lingua Ignota, the solo noise vehicle of Kristen Hayter. Actually, to just call it noise is wayyyy too reductive; Hayter is pushing the subgenre forward in the same way Pharmakon and TRP are. Lingua Ignota combines harsher soundwaves with creeping influences from devotional and industrial music, making less for an impenetrable wall and more for a deep dive into the edges of the psyche. A listen to newest album All Bitches Die – a chorale for survivors of abuse – should provide you, the adventurous listener, with all the corroborating evidence you should desire. We hear and see parallels to uncanonized greats like Diamanda Galas, Jarboe and Coil. Recent live videos making their way online promise a harrowing and emotional sonic and visual extravaganza. Get there early and watch the floor. – Matthew Moyer With the Body, Freakazoid | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $12

D.L. Hughley COMEDY
D.L. Hughley’s comedy and acting pedigree is reason enough to take note when he comes to town. He – along with Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey – starred in The Original Kings of Comedy, the Spike Lee-directed comedy concert film that became a cultural touchstone of the early 2000s. But some of his best work has been in the field of news commentary. He hosted the short-lived D.L. Hughley Breaks the News on CNN, but he’s been a frequent commentator on cable news shows ever since. His new book, How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People, is a satirical advice book inspired by the tendency for white people to blame the victim in cases of police brutality and racism. And if that doesn’t grab you, the title of his first book, 2013’s I Want You to Shut the F#ck Up: How the Audacity of Dopes Is Ruining America is still so, so sadly relevant. – Thaddeus McCollum 8 & 10:30 p.m. Friday, 7 & 9:45 p.m. Saturday, 7 p.m. Sunday | Orlando Improv, 9101 International Drive | 407-480-5233 | theimprovorlando.com | $35-$70

The Tom & Dan Ninth Anniversary ’90s Party EVENTS
OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK 36
When they joined the podcast game nine years ago, Central Florida’s favorite podcasters may not have anticipated the incredible size of their legion of loyal listeners, or as they describe them, “scumbags.” But one thing is for sure: They sure do love treating their fans to freebies. That’s why Tom Vann and Daniel Dennis are hosting ’90s-style throwback entertainment for free in celebration of their ninth anniversary. Forget about the continued social argument about who is and isn’t a ’90s baby – just throw on your plaid skirt, give your hair some volume and show up to have a good time. There’s a reason why the uncensored show “A Mediocre Time With Tom and Dan” was voted Best Local Podcast in 2016 and 2017 by Orlando Weekly readers, and history suggests that this shindig supported by White Claw seltzer will be anything but mediocre. Two wrestling matches are set up for the affair, with on-air personality Tuddle as the referee. The evening will be topped off with dance-electronic duo the Mood Designers. – Paola Perez 7 p.m. | Wall Street Plaza, Wall and Court streets | 407-849-0471 | tomanddan.com | free

Parliament House 43rd Anniversary EVENTS
At 43, you’d expect a midlife crisis of sorts from Parliament House, but that’s definitely not the case. The gay nightclub and resort has entertained people for four decades with dazzling drag queens, musicals, pageants and theme nights, and there’s no sign of that getting old. “P-House,” as it’s affectionately known, has become a must-spot for RuPaul’s glamorous alumni on their touring schedules and boasts a packed dance floor pretty much every night. Celebrate 43 years of this home for Orlando’s LGBTQ community this weekend by attending Parliament House’s anniversary party, featuring a Miss Parliament House Reunion Show with Armani, Danielle Hunter, Shae Shae LaReese and Daphne Ferraro. The club’s award-winning Footlight Players, including Darcel Stevens and Shantell D’Marco, will also make their appearance.

Headlined by Kaleigh Baker’s new Someday Honey project – a moodier, jazzier project than her usual Enablers backing band – the lineup also includes local bands and singers like Johnny Debt (fka John Prestage), the Bloody Jug Band, Jef Shumard of Big Jef Special doing a solo set, and plenty more. Vendors will be on hand to fill your tummy with something more solid than the concoctions at the Will’s complex, including vegan (and non) barbecue and s’mores. Plus, proceeds benefit the Mustard Seed of Central Florida. – TM with Someday Honey, the Bloody Jug Band, the Wilted Chilis, Big Jef, Kevin Maines and more | 4 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

Music Mondays: If I Leave Here Tomorrow: A Film About Lynyrd Skynyrd FILM
Remembered best for hit singles like “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Free Bird” and “Don’t Ask Me No Questions,” Jacksonville, Florida’s favorite sons – sit down, Tim Tebow – Lynyrd Skynyrd get the in-depth rock doc treatment in the new movie If I Leave Here Tomorrow. The film takes viewers behind the music with rare interviews and never-before-seen archival footage of the band at their peak and when their fans knew them best – before a tragic plane crash in 1977 claimed the lives of six people, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and back-up singer Cassie Gaines. Though they were only around for four brief years before the crash, Skynyrd redefined and invigorated Southern rock. Feel free to hold up your lighters during the screening, but the first person to shout out “Free Bird!” gets the ol’ heave-ho. – Xander Peters 9:30 p.m. | Enzian Theater, 1300 S.

No One Knows I’m Disco No One Knows I’m Disco Even though downtown club Blackstar has closed its doors after an unfortunately short time in business, local old-school DJ and party planner Tommy Mot (ex-Spacebar) is keeping the dream alive. He announced plans to keep both No One Knows I’m Disco and Panic! nights going at Stonewall, the gay bar in Parramore that’s been racking up plenty of underground cred lately. With the added influx of bleeding edge couture from the Black Haus gang, the third time could be the charm for NOKID. 9 p.m. Friday; Stonewall Bar Orlando, 741 W. Church St.; free$5; stonewallorlando.com Belgian Independence Day Thanks to their third place finish in the World Cup last week, Belgium can finally be known for something more than chocolate and beer. But you can try both this weekend when Roque Pub taps some of the rarest Belgian beers in the United States and pairs them with Belgian chocolate samples. Don’t fret, England: You’re still known for the lasting detrimental effects of colonization. And, you know, Shakespeare or whatever. 4 p.m. Saturday; Roque Pub, 3076 Curry Ford Road; various menu prices; roquepuborlando.com
Crazy ’80s Pub Crawl This is the 13th year in a row that the annual Crazy ’80s Pub Crawl has taken over the bars of downtown Orlando. That’s so long ago that the first people to attend probably actually remembered the ’80s. Dress up as your favorite pop culture touchstone from the decade and travel to 11 different downtown venues, enjoying four free drinks and discounted booze after those are gone. Stuck for a costume? May we suggest Sen. Ted Kennedy, who successfully blocked the Supreme Court nomination of right-wing judge Robert Bork in 1987? No? Just gonna go with a California Raisin again, huh? 7:30 p.m. Saturday; multiple locations; $15-$25; orlandopubcrawl. com
Downtown Pour Thornton Park The previously annual Downtown Pour – normally taking place on Church Street – now has a sister event over in Thornton Park. Expect the usual array of pop-up tents dishing out samples of beer, wine and cocktails with helpful reps giving you all the information about what you’re drinking. You can also enjoy live music and art displays as you browse. Plus, at the end, you’ll be surrounded by plenty of dining options to soak up the booze. 4-7 p.m. Sunday; Thornton Park, Washington and Summerlin avenues; $25-$60; downtownpour.com

Rich Homie Quan MUSIC
Celebrated Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan broke through to the mainstream with his 2013 hit “Type of Way,” but it was only earlier this year that he was finally able to release a long-awaited debut album, Rich as in Spirit, through major label Motown Records. The record has received fulsome praise from the likes of Complex and Rolling Stone and now, finally free of the record label red tape that kept his music and even career in limbo for years, the young, bloody-but-unbowed MC is hitting the road to show what he can really do. On his own terms. Support acts TBA. – Matthew Moyer 7 p.m. | Soundbar, 37 W. Pine St. | soundbarorl.com | $20-$60

B Y D A N S AVA G E
I’m a 20-year-old submissive woman. I’m currently in a confusing affair with a 50-year-old dominant married man. He lives in Europe and has two kids close to my age. We met online when I was 17 and starting to explore my BDSM desires – out of the reach of my overbearing, sex-shaming, disastrously religious parents – and we’ve been texting daily ever since. We’ve since met in different countries and spent a total of three weeks together. Those weeks were amazing, both sexually and emotionally, and he says he loves me. (Some will assume, because of the age difference, that he “groomed” me. He did not.) I date vanilla boys my age, with his full support, while we continue to text daily. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to blow up his family if (or when) our affair is discovered. But at the same time, our relationship has really helped me navigate my kinks and my sexuality. Expecting him to leave his wife for me is a highly unrealistic cliché, I am aware. Yet I fear I’ve become dependent on his conversation and advice. I’m graduating soon and have a big job lined up in a big city. I’ll finally be financially independent, and I’d like to start making the right choices. Any perspective you have would be much appreciated. Things Must Improve He is not going to leave his wife for you, and you shouldn’t assume his wife is going to leave him if (or when) this affair is discovered (or exposed). Divorce may be the default setting in the United States in the wake of an affair, TMI, but Europeans take a much more, well, European attitude toward infidelity. Definitely not cricket, but not necessarily fatal. And you don’t need him to leave his wife for you. OK, OK – you’re in love, and the three weeks you’ve managed to spend together were amazing. But don’t fall into the trap of believing a romantic relationship requires a tidy ending; film, television and literature beat it into our heads that romantic relationships end either happily at the altar (à la Pride and Prejudice) or tragically at the morgue (à la Forensic Files). But romantic relationships take many forms, TMI, as does romantic success. And this relationship, such as it is, sounds like an ongoing success. In other words, TMI, I think you’re confused about this relationship because there won’t be a resolution that fits into a familiar mold. But you don’t need a resolution: You can continue to text with him, and he can continue to provide you with his advice and support while you continue to date single, available and kinky men (no more vanilla boys!) closer to your own age and/or on your own continent. Eventually you’ll meet a new guy you’re crazy about – someone you can see for more than one week a year – and you’ll feel less dependent on and connected to your old flame. While on vacation, I went for a full body 46
“CONNECTIONS”
massage. The first half of the massage – me on my stomach – was great. When the masseuse asked me to flip on my back, things took a turn. She uncovered one of my legs and began massaging my thigh. As she worked on my inner thigh, her finger grazed my scrotum. Then it happened again. And again. She was working on my thigh, but it felt like I was getting my balls caressed. I began to worry I was getting a visible erection. Then I started to panic when I felt like I might actually come. (I have always had issues with premature ejaculation.) I tried hard to clamp down and think about baseball and senior citizens, but I wound up having an orgasm. She eventually moved to my arms, shoulders, etc., but meanwhile I’m lying there with jizz cooling on myself. Am I guilty of #metoo bad behavior? Should I have said something or asked her to stop? Is it possible she didn’t have any clue? (My penis was never uncovered and I didn’t create an obvious wet spot on the sheet.) I tipped her extra, just in case she was mortified, though I didn’t get the sense she was because nothing changed after I came in terms of her massaging me. (She didn’t hurry away from my legs or rush to finish my massage.) I still feel really weird about the whole thing. I get massages frequently, this has never happened before, and I certainly didn’t go into it looking for this result. Lost Opportunity At De-escalation If it all went down as you described, LOAD, you aren’t guilty of “#metoo bad behavior.” It’s not uncommon for people to become unintentionally aroused during a nonerotic massage; it’s more noticeable when it happens to men, of course, but it happens to women, too. “Erections do happen,” a masseuse told me when I ran your letter past her. “So long as guys don’t suddenly ask for a ‘happy ending,’ expose themselves or – God help me – attempt to take my hand and place it on their erection, they haven’t done anything wrong.” Since this hasn’t happened to you before, LOAD, I don’t think you should waste too much time worrying about it happening again. But if you’re concerned this one massage created a powerful erotic association and you’re likely to blow a load the next time a masseuse so much as looks at one of your thighs, go ahead and have a quick wank before your appointment. Living my truth permits others in my fairly conservative circles – Christian family struggling to accept a gay son, colleagues in a traditionally masculine field – to accept gay/ other/different folks. I identify as a bottom, and until recently I thought I had erectile dysfunction because I would literally go soft at the thought of topping another man. I should mention that I’m black in the Pacific Northwest, so there is this odd “BBC” fixation and an expectation from many guys that

But I recently noticed an attraction to married guys – specifically, submissive bottom masculine/muscular married guys who like to wear lingerie. I met a few and became this dominant guy who fit the stereotype most guys expect when they see me online or in person. Now I’m very confused. I tried topping recently, because a married guy begged me to. He said, “You’ll never know if you like it until you try it!” Which is the same thing my traditional uncles have said to me about women: that my life would be so much easier if I just married a woman! So this sudden turn from bottom to top is troubling me. I don’t think it is possible to turn straight, but I didn’t think I was a top until a few weeks ago. Am I capable of turning straight? That would validate everything my homophobic family members have said. I’m repulsed by vaginas but fascinated by boobs. Have you seen/heard of things like this? Praying The Straight Away If you’re a regular reader, PTSA, you’ve seen letters in this space from straight-identified guys into cock. Many of these guys have described themselves as being fascinated by cock but repulsed by men; some of these guys seek out sex with trans women who’ve kept their dicks. Your thing for hot guys in lingerie and your thing for boobs might be the gay flip of this erotic script – boobs fascinate you, but you’re not into the genitalia most women have. Muscular guys in lingerie turn you on – big pecs can fill out a lacy bra just as alluringly as big boobs – and it’s possible you might enjoy being with a trans woman who got boobs but kept her dick. All that said, PTSA, discovering after years of bottoming that you enjoy topping certain types of men – masculine/muscular married guys who beg for your dick while wearing lingerie – doesn’t mean you’re “capable” of turning straight. Going from bottom to versatile isn’t the same thing as going from men to women. And being fascinated by a body part that typically comes attached to people, i.e., women, who fall outside your usual “erotic target interest,” as the sex researchers say, isn’t a sign that your uncles were right all along. In short, PTSA, you aren’t potentially straight – you’re gay and a little more complicated, interesting and expansive than you realized at first. P.S. On behalf of all the dudes who have objectified you with this “BBC” stuff and made you feel anything other than proud to be primarily a bottom, please accept my apology.
