DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - December 6, 2017   -- second time Florida suffers huge embarrassment Do fake interpreters love Florida?

This time in the city of Tampa, another fake interpreter (a former prisoner) showed up at a press conference and signed things no one could understand. Why is this happening?
