Julián Castro, the former San Antonio mayor and secretary of Housing and Urban Development for President Obama whose 2012 Democratic National Convention speech transformed him into a national leader overnight, is a hard man to keep track of.
For months, the 44-year-old Castro has been hopscotching between Nevada, Florida, Arizona and other battleground states to campaign for Democrats ahead of the 2018 midterms. He dutifully trekked to the Iowa State Fair in August for a turn on the famous political soapbox. Last weekend, Castro was back in Iowa to stump for Democrat J.D. Scholten, who is challenging alt-right-winger and neo-Nazi sympathizer Rep. Steve King (R-IA). On the eve of his visit, King lashed out at Castro and his twin brother, Joaquin, a congressman who represents San Antonio, tweeting that they “took Spanish lessons to qualify as retroactive Hispanics.” Castro brushed off the vitriol. “He knows that a lot of folks are dissatisfied with the job he’s doing. He’s just reaching for anything he can to distract from that.”

That was former Denver Mayor Federico Pena who served in Clinton’s cabinet.
Kamal gets the top of the ticket because she was born with THREE nationalities, while Castro was born with only TWO.
Natural born citizens have only ONE nationality.
That’s why they are NATURALLY citizens.
Ah.. thank you
Don’t tell me. He spends a lot of time eating at Taco Bell with his compadre, bEto O’Rourke.
I have never heard of this guy until today. But hey, let him join the primary freak show, the more the merrier.
I thought maybe he was sashay-ing. But I suppose "hopscotching" is a plausible substitute.
We know this: the Ds will not nominate a white man. This guy has two (count 'em) diversity legs up (ewwww!) on the rest of the field.
We once had a Gov. Castro in AZ (1970s); and we were one heck of a lot more conservative back then, than we are now.
Okay, looks like he is one of those LaRaza racist radicals. This will not play well to the rest of the voters. He’s Peter Principled out with his anti-white racist agenda. YAWN.
“Be black, brown or have a vagina.”
