Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador tried to slam conservative media, claiming they will not report on the corruption investigation of U.S. Senator Bob Menendez. The Mexican president mistakenly claimed that conservative news outlets would provide cover for Menendez because he was a “Republican… from Texas.”
The statements came during his Monday news conference where the Mexican politician briefly discussed the case.
“These news outlets from the right, conservatives, are not going to say that they found gold bars,” Lopez Obrador said. “The Republican Senator, Bob Menendez from Texas, he has always been against us. They are not going to say that. That is not a story.” …

The Mexican President is a moron.
Um, he no Tejano.
STOP COMMITING AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST MY COUNTRY! WE NEED JAMES KNOX POLK!
Open mouth.
Insert foot.
Way to go, Obradumbass.
The Democrat Senator from New Jersey, Bob Menendez, has indeed gotten plenty of coverage, Mr. President - and you likely will be as well after saying something this ridiculous...
That’s rich. Stupid white, elitist Spaniard who wants to dump his indigenous brown “basura” out of his country (or kill them) lecturing us about our treatment of Hispanics.
El Presidente ees not smoking the best Mexican marihuana.
This dude is utterly clueless.
To a mexican, they may seem conservative/republican
And what exactly are you doing about the drug cartels - Mr. President? Or are you in bed with them?
Is this from the Onion or Bab Bee?
The news lately is just one clown after another, piling out of the clown car and immediately doing face plants.
More gaslighting.
Too much low-grade Mexican ditch weed, he’s had...
Yikes. Obrador just went FULL JOE BIDEN. Never go full Biden! You can't blame it on senility either... Odrador is pushing 70 but he's always carefully parsed his words in the past, ESPECIALLY if he's speaking about the internal affairs of another country.
Sounds to me like he mixed up Bob Menendez with Ted Cruz or something.
He's probably confused because in Mexico, the "conservative" PAN party politicians are backstabbing marxist thugs, while the "far left" politicians are sane and sensible.
So by Mexican standards, a crooked socialist RAT politician would be a "Republican from Texas"!
Obrador is NOT good. Conservative Mexican guy I know on twitter hates his guts. He’s trashed the economy and tried to rig the next election for his horrible chosen successor, Claudia Sheinbaum.
IMO he's decent. Straight shooter and honest guy. He certainly is NO conservative but compared to lying, authoritarian slime like Trudeau and Biden, he's probably the "best" of the three North American leaders (granted, that's not saying much because the bar is so slow)
>> Conservative Mexican guy I know on twitter hates his guts. <<
Fair enough, and I hate Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon's guts. Both for their domestic AND foreign policy. Even their Supreme Court appointments were so awful that the Mexican Supreme Court made a bunch of "landmark" liberal activist decisions that would make Earl Warren blush. And don't get me started about how they screamed bloody murder about what would happen if the eeeeeeeeeeeevil corrupt PRI got back in power, only to ENDORSE the PRI after they left office (apparently having the PRI run government is just peachy as long as it doesn't stop themselves from getting elected!)
Don't get me wrong, Obrador has done his share of leftist things I disagree with, but he doesn't PRETEND to be a "conservative". Fox and Calderon do (while supporting as much or MORE left garbage than Odrador does!) I'd rather be stabbed from up front than from behind.
>> tried to rig the next election for his horrible chosen successor, Claudia Sheinbaum. <<
Mexican politics is so messed up its impossible to tell WHO is the "good" candidate in that race, and who is remotely conservative, if anyone. The most bizarre thing is that Sheinbaum's main rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, is the nominee of "conservative" PAN.... and "corrupt, leftist" PRI... and the "far left, extremist" PRD, the latter being the "fringe" party that "scary" Obrador ORIGINALLY used to ride into power.
It makes zero sense, the U.S. equivalent would be a 2024 election contest where the main rivals were a "Unity coalition" slate lead by Jeb Bush for President (faux "conservative" Republican), Gavin Newsome for veep (RAT), and Bernie Sanders for Chief of Staff (Independent socialist loon) VS. "Joe Biden's hand picked successor" Kamala Harris for President on a newly created, all encompassing "Labor & Democracy Party" ticket, with endorsements from the Libertarian and Constitution Party!
