Latino voters scoff at CBS News reporter asking if Trump's a threat to democracy: 'Don't buy that argument'
Fox News ^ | March 21, 2024 | Gabriel Hays

Latino voters rejected the accusation that former President Donald Trump is a "threat to democracy" in a recent interview with CBS News, telling network reporter Weijia Jiang they’re "not buying" the line that "democracy is on the ballot in 2024."

Three Hispanic Arizona residents spoke to Jiang for a segment that aired on "CBS Evening News" on Wednesday, telling her they don't believe the Trump "threat" a bit and think the media and Democratic Party are "using it to death."

The notable moment came when Jiang said to the three voters, "President Biden has called Trump a threat to democracy and made it a central part of his campaign. Is democracy on the ballot in 2024?"

All three smiled as soon as the question was asked, and one even began laughing at it.

Republican business owner Steve Macias, replied, "I don’t buy that argument."

The one who was laughing, independent voter Raquel Glowden, chimed in, saying, "I don’t, either."

Macias continued: "I mean, to me now, that’s just another talking point. Every time I hear it, I just kind of tune it out."

"I know," Glowden added.

Ripping the talking point even further, Macias said, "It’s something that, you know, some focus group came up with, and now they're just using it to death."

Glowden accused the media and the Democratic Party of not even understanding what democracy means. She said, "I really don't think they understand what democracy is when they say that. You know, the fact that there is a ballot is democracy.

Sadly, one has to have been educated elsewhere in order to define democracy.

Democrats believe that, if they tell a lie and repeat it often enough, that people will start to believe it. The liberal media is trying to plant that lie in people’s heads, but, smart people won’t fall for it.

CBS is a threat to “democracy” and so is the rest of the Mockingbird Media.

They are all serious enemies of the Republic.

Is this another one of those “99% of latinos polled will vote Republican this time, we swear” stories where the actual election is them voting 99% Democrat for the 800th time in a row?

In my last USAF electronics school of about 25 students, there were three conservatives.

A guy from Massachusetts of all places, a 2nd generation Mexican American and me.

I have only ever met one of Mexican descent that was a democrat.

On March 17, 2018, Wenjia Jiang married Travis Luther Lowe, an executive at Yelp and a donor to Democratic Party candidates and causes, in Palm Springs, California. Civil rights activist Jim Obergefell led the ceremony.

Trump is only a threat to the Deep/Administrative State and to the GOPee wing of Congress.

Democracy is only safe if everyone is forced to vote a certain way.

The problem is that Joe Biden is a bad salesman. This time they can't use covid to hide him in the basement.

East Germany was called the German Democratic Republic.

North Korea is called the Korean Democratic Republic.

That’s the kind of “democracy” the demon rats want to impose on all of us.

Once minorities reject the media, they will scramble even harder, making their agenda even more apparent

In that case, Trump wins New Mexico, Virginia and New Hampshire. I doubt he can win any other blue states. So the total in the EC will be around 334.

You are correct sir. Once our nation had journalists who were loyal to their craft and sort of another one of our countries checks and balances. Now we have journolists, loyal to the party (democrat) willing to lie, cheat and help steal elections, willing to push for censorship of opposing views, damn freedom of speech. They conspire using the talking points of the party to brainwash the sheep. Loyal democrat sheep, many feeding off the government teat, all echoing the lies until it becomes their truth, damn the true facts. Men can be women, women can be men, they no longer can define what a woman is. We are living in bizarro world...
