President Donald Trump boosted his share of Latino votes because of religious and social issues, not because of his successful economic record, according to former President Barack Obama.
Obama made the claim as he admitted November 25 to a radio host that urban Democrats are often oblivious to the views of people outside their social circle.
“People were surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump,” Obama told The Breakfast Club, a radio show run by Lenard Larry McKelvey, who calls himself “Charlamagne tha God.” Obama continued:
But there’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, you know, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts detainees, you know, undocumented workers, in cages — they think that’s less important than the fact that, you know, he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion, right?
Obama’s comments echoed his 2008 dismissal of midwestern voters’ economic worries in a speech to elite donors in San Francisco:
You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Insanity, yes. Definitely. Not uncommon from many older college indoctrinated.
Obozo appears to be a very bitter man. Still having a difficult time adjusting after the office; the Netflix gig ain’t that great I guess. There is a reason he is speaking now, and it is not to unify the country. The word “unify”, it lasted <24 hours, after the hollow Buyden could not keep to his word (no surprise).
FUBO
Bo is getting very vocal lately. Almost as if he’s telling his adorers, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”....
Leftist democrats like barack love to murder babies.

Go back to Martha's Vineyard, Barry.

Wow! He was the cage-meistrr. What unmitigated balls.
I have good news: I teach on a college campus in California (Los Angeles). Recently the radicals on campus (Union bosses & the fringe SJW/Marxist Sociology professors) demanded that the campus LEOs be defunded and removed. I was heartened to find that EVERYONE in my Department sent out emails to OPPOSE this. Many of them said THEIR STUDENTS strongly oppose this move, too. They want our police to remain. Let me add, this is an academic department full of Political Science & "Chicano Studies" professors, as well as Economics profs. In other words, we span the spectrum - from far-left Democrats to conservative Republican economists. All are saying "No!" to the insane 'defund-the-police' movement.
Folks, things are not as bleak as the media gaslights them to be -- we are winning. Stay strong!
LOL! He loves 🍌
Yes Barack—they do care about abortion more than cages. And so does any civilized human being.
“If so many Hispanics shifted to Trump this election, then isn’t that yet more evidence that he actually won, and probably by an even bigger margin than last time?“
Trump won with about ten million more votes this year. He won at least one 94% Hispanic Texas border county.
The democrats know Trump won this election. Why are they watching the proceedings? Why are they watching Giuliani go through all of this?
Fox knows Trump won. Why are they ignoring it?
“It would certainly be poetic justice if Biden legalized 30 million Hispanics and they ended up voting for GOP candidates.”
He’s announcing this for political reasons. He’s looking for illegal votes. They’d vote for him.
That's what Obama thought. Now he's trashing Hispanic evangelicals. Illegal Hispanic evangelicals won't suddenly turn non-evangelical with amnesty.
Who built the cages Joe?
30 million illegals are not evangelical. First place they’re criminals.
That may be true but if Biden gets in and especially if Biden gets in and we lose 2 seats in Georgia those criminals will be on a path to citizenship and there won't be a thing you can do about it besides hope that they turn out to be criminals who tend to be more conservative.
This putrid brown stain on the underwear of America has the gall to make that statement.
The gall. The unmitigated gall.
I did not think each day reading news that he could fill me with more disgust than I already had for him and his ilk, but I find I am wrong.
Um ... those are your cages, hypocrite.
One-hundred per cent of Mexicans reject the idea of paying racist, black fools reparations.
And with that, the racist democrat plantation has just blown up.
Trump won
