Robert Rivernider Jr, The Villages, Florida Trump fanboy who was caught forging his recently departed father Robert Rivernider Sr’s ballot for the disgraced former president in October 2020, mailing it in days after the old man died of COVID-19, a deadly virus whose spread was the only reason Rivernider Jr wasn’t still in federal prison at the time as he had been released seven years into his 12 year sentence on a real estate scam for which he had still owed his victims $20 million in restitution and thus was ineligible to vote in Florida, was convicted Monday of felony counts of forgery to alter public records, fraud in connection with casting a vote, and pass counterfeit instrument, for which he faces at least a few years in the clink, ClickOrlando.com reports.
That run-on sentence could’ve been longer as there are a few more details we left out: Rivernider Jr had claimed after his arrest that the Sumpter County Elections Office director and sheriff were the tips on the spear of a pro-DeSantis conspiracy against vocal Trump supporters, which is hilarious because Sheriff Bill Farmer actually did endorse DeSantis just days after Rivernider Jr was arrested for the fraud three years after the election. Those two sets of facts can coexist quite easily.
Then there’s Rivernider Jr’s defense counsel: Famous assclown former Florida State Representative Anthony Sabatini, a notoriously demented Trump fanboy and failed 2022 FL-7th District GOP primary Congressional candidate. This year Sabatini set up shop in Florida’s 11th District to mount a challenge to GOP incumbent Dan Webster – who in 2022 easily fended off a similarly brash young MAGA carpetbagger in far right ghoul Laura Loomer. On Monday, the same day Sabatini’s client went down for three felonies Webster tweeted he was “thrilled to have approval of @realDonaldTrump! We need President Trump back in the White House to Make America Great Again!” which we guess means Trump had officially endorsed him over Crazy Tony. So Sabatini had a pretty rough Monday.
