Texas Representative Joaquin Castro's stunt he pulled this week by shining a spotlight on San Antonio citizens and businesses who donated to President Donald J. Trump backfired spectacularly as he was harangued for the obvious danger and division his tweets promoted. But, unfortunately for Rep. Castro, the ire did not come just from conservatives and Trump supporters, but also his own donors. Apparently, the list of MAGA supporters also included folks who gave to Castro's campaign as well.
On Sunday night, Rep. Castro tweeted, "Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of ?@BillMillerBarBQ?, owner of the ?@HistoricPearl, realtor Phyllis Browning, etc?. Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’"

Fox News reports that Wayne Harwell's name was on the list, and that he also gave $1,000 to Rep. Castro in 2011. However, after the congressman's attempt to shame him, the real estate company owner says that he will no longer back the candidate.
"I was also on a list of people that gave to Castro and if he dislikes me enough that he wants to put my name out there against Trump, I’m not going to give money to him," Harwell told Fox News. "Obviously Castro feels pretty strongly against me."
"I think some of the Democratic rhetoric is more hateful than some of Trump’s rhetoric,” he added. "I think the San Antonio community needs to take a real deep look at what Castro is doing. Why is he doing this?"
"If he wants to play in Washington, he needs to move to Washington," the San Antonio resident said. "If he wants to play in San Antonio, he needs to at least be sensitive. The rest of the community is sensitive. We’re sensitive to both Republican and Democrat views. A lot of us here in San Antonio are independents.
The Washington Examiner also reports that at least six of the 44 individuals "outed" by Castro have previously financially supported Rep. Castro, or his brother Julian Castro in their political careers.
"it is just amazing to me that he would do that," William Greehey, a philanthropist who donated $5,000 to Joaquin Castro’s congressional campaign in 2013, told the Washington Examiner.
"Then he's calling me a racist because I'm supporting Trump. I mean, this is just ridiculous," Greehey added. "There's a lot of things you don't like about the president and his tweeting, but here Castro is doing the same thing with his tweeting."
As Katie covered, even MSNBC was shocked the congressman would do something so irresponsible and subsequently defend his actions.
LISTEN: Vile Voicemail Left To Trump Donor After Castro Posted Her Info
They were just branded Fidel and Raul on FNC, and Trump has put out a devastating tweet.
An earlier thread stated that he is a racist, since he failed to donate to Barack Hussein Obama and did donate to Hillary.
It must be asked: Is Joaquin Castro a pedophile?
The mom of the El Paso shooter is BLACK!!! Is HE black??
Trump’s tweets do not dox anyone, or attempt to suppress free speech. He just makes fun of people who richly deserve it. Raul’s tweets are far and away more hate-filled than the very worst tweet that Trump ever made.
It’s the gravity of the crime.
Castro’s name has been used in the same sentence with JonBonet Ramsey.
That’s a fact, look at the previous paragraph.

Mike Cernovich reported that Castro conspicuously omitted Hispanic Trump donors from the list he released. The list was limited to white donors. Targeting people for harassment and violence based on their race is a hate crime.
Might explain why he didn’t like illegals....they are taking away jobs and bennies from black American citizens like his momma!
Castro “felt good about himself” ....... releasing Trump’s donor list.
The left savagely acts in order to experience “The Thrill of Control.”
To lefties, a little crotch action always supersedes the Constitution.
The identical Castro twin brothers and their mother Mamie.
She is a founder and organizer of the violent, hate-America La Raza.
God knows how many tax dollars went to La Raza when Julian ran HUD---the known hot spot for corrupt politicians.... and the other govt jobs the brothers held.
ALL FOR US NOTHING FOR YOU The Castros believe:
<><> illegals should get unlimited freebies
<><> that Americans should be forced to pay for it
<><> They want illegals to takeover Americans' jobs
<><> they'd gladly put Americans out of work
<><> they bless illegals sending billions in remittances
<><> They'd let illegals break the law without any fear of arrest.
An earlier failed immigration "Reform" Bill established an eternal 100 million dollar "replenishable" govt fund for La Raza (Mommy Castro's wish come true).
The bill also protected Crooked Latino Public Officials holding US govt positions from prosecution for wrongdoing in elective and appointive office.
La Raza books also talk about the need for the govt of Mexico to re-take seven states in SW United States. so that the Southwest USA would become a Chicano nation.
YOU ARE PAYING FOR THIS In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to "La Raza charter schools" via the US Dept of Education grants. These charter schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.
La Raza is using taxpayer funds to organize the murdering of Americans; the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America.
ARIZONA SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASE--- Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza ethnic solidarity indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was just narrowly re-elected to our US Congress. Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal representatives in our Congress....aiding--abetting and funding La Raza studies.
This man is an Evil Communist and a True Fidel follower. Death to the Communist Evil Democrats.

Man. Killing “why-T” is going to be hard using Aztec math.
It also must be asked if he is acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign government.

LOVE IT.
Mika and little joey were trying to defend what the little POS did.
At least Willie Geist had the decency to call him out(Castro).
