The left doesn’t represent Hispanics

OPINION:

Rep. Mayra Flores, Texas Republican, recently told Fox News: “We [Hispanics] stand for the values we were raised with: God, family and hard work.” In June, Flores won an upset special election in south Texas, ending nearly a century of Democratic control of the region.  

Shockingly, Flores, the first Mexican-born woman to serve in Congress, was blocked from joining the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which is dominated by Democrats. Ms. Flores said: “I don’t need them. The Hispanic community doesn’t need them. We [Republican Hispanics] are the real voice for the Hispanic community.”

This caucus’s rejection of Ms. Flores is a slap in the face to all Mexican Americans, who are the largest group (more than 60%) of Hispanics in America. Is this an example of Democrats’ much-vaunted “diversity, equity and inclusion”?

Hispanics are tired of empty promises, lies and being taken for granted by Democrats. Dios, familia, mucho trabajo — vota Republicano! (God, family, lots of work — vote Republican!)
