Heated Exchange Between Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Challenger
A visit by U.S. Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to a local Democratic club turned into a heated argument with her Primary opponent, Elijah Manley, who she is suing.
The 4-minute exchange, captured on video, took place at the Broward Young Democrats' meeting on October 6, with Cherfilus-McCormick as a special guest.
The argument centered on a $1 million defamation lawsuit Cherfilus-McCormick filed against Manley last month, claiming he spread "blatant lies" about her.
"If you want to come up here and be disrespectful, let's rock 'n' roll."
Near the end of the exchange, Cherfilus-McCormick appeared to insult Manley, saying "Your mama."
- The lawsuit claims Manley engaged in "a pattern" of false statements in campaign videos and published commentaries.
- The case remains active, with the most recent court action being a summons submitted to Manley four days before the confrontation.
