This Month, Two Hispanic Republicans Blast The GOP's Racism

Unmasking the Elephant in the room as Hispanic leaders confront the GOP's dark side.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/this-month-two-hispanic-republicans



Two Hispanic Republican figures have recently cast a stark light on the party’s issues with racism. Their public critiques have echoed what many outside the GOP have asserted for years—the GOP is the party of white supremacy.

For Democrats and numerous observers across the political spectrum, the accusations of racism within the Republican Party are not revelatory; they are confirmations of a troubling pattern many have witnessed and opposed for decades. That members from within the GOP are now giving voice to these concerns lends a notable credibility to the issue—it’s a moment of truth-telling from insiders who can no longer reconcile their identity with the dissonance of their party’s rhetoric and actions.

Over the weekend, Congressman Tony Gonzales (R) took to CNN to lambast his Republican co-workers and his Republican opponent as Neo-Nazis and Klansmen.

It's pretty much been Republican for 30 years. (It was only blue when the entire world was mad at the GOP)

I live here. It was bluer after some redistricting, but the Repukes in Texas made it much redder after the VRA was thrown out.

It is quite Latino, but it is rural Latino. All Democratic precincts in Bexar County were removed, so that it stays Republican forever.
