Because he said that Hispanics contributed nothing and were all on welfare (far, far from true, even if you’re talking about Mexican day laborers, but certainly not true when you’re talking about self-made Cuban or Puerto Rican businessmen and wealthy refugee Venezuelans and Ecuadorians) and then went into a rant, only displaying his ignorance, about Spain and how horrible it was. I don’t know why he did this, because it wasn’t even relevant to what he was talking about, which was his candidacy for a county office. This was something the the women had obviously been prepared to support or they wouldn’t have been there.
He was an ignorant man who obviously didn’t know that the whole concept of “consent of the governed” to which Jefferson referred and the idea of the legitimacy of a people rising up against an unjust ruler came from the 16th century Spanish Jesuit Suarez, and that the concept of natural law also came via Spanish and Italian sources from Greece and Rome.
Still, be that as it may, the news media never covers things like this unless they expect it to be something that would be beneficial to the Dems. Come to think of it, maybe they should have covered it, because these two women...and probably everybody they knew...probably went right off to the Dems immediately after this. I was very disappointed in this candidate, and in fact, so were others, because he lost dismally in the election when it was held.
And I think this is the point George P. Bush is making.
Can I see a link?
Im the link. I was there
You have no link for a politician, which during a fund raising meeting got so vile and racist, the Hispanic women in the audience were leaving in tears?
Yet you have no news link for this?
Why should there be a news link?
You're joking? Opponents use this against their rivals all the time. Information like that is worth substantial money.
You don't know this?
Question:
What was so racist and vile that it made the Hispanic women in the audience leave the meeting in tears?
Because he said that Hispanics contributed nothing and were all on welfare
Pretty outrageous statement for some politician to say at a fund raiser.
What was this politicians name?
