Arizona Dem: If You Marry a White Guy, You Ain’t Latina
Editors Note: It would appear that Democrats are becoming just a tad sensitive about the wholesale movement of Latino voters to the Republican side. Congressman Gallego lets his racism get in front of his common sense. Where is his sense of inclusion? Apparently where it is for most Democrats. Inclusiveness is fine as long as white people are not included. Latinos are hard-working, family-oriented people who have little in common with the sexual extremists, racial dividers, and promoters of high gasoline pricing in the name of climate control and the Green New Deal of the Democrats of today. And incidentally, marrying white men is not a crime or an act of cultural depravity. In fact, it is quite common. According to Pew Research, about 43% of all inter-racial marriages are between Latino and White people.
This is something to be celebrated in that ethnic and racial differences are disappearing in the US, even as Democrats attempt to divide the nation along racial and ethnic lines. Congressman Gallego hopefully will lose badly, not just because he is an unhinged Progressive, but especially because he is a very nasty man, filled with racial bigotry. Such a man has no place representing Arizona.
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) accused Tanya Contreras Wheeless, a Hispanic woman running for Congress in Arizona’s fourth district as a Republican, of not being authentically Latina because she took her husband’s last name.
Gallego suggested that Wheeless deliberately “hid” her Hispanic identity before running for office to avoid discrimination. “If you were Latino in Arizona around 2010 people were telling us to go back to Mexico,” he said, “you would hear I am not voting for a ‘spic.’”
“Tanya is Latina,” Gallego tweeted, “cuando le conviene,” meaning, “when it suits her.”
Following Republican Mayra Flores’s upset victory this year in Texas’s 34th Congressional District, which had traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, liberal pundits have smeared conservative Latinas. CNN said the conservative Hispanic women running for Congress were “not the ‘real deal,’” whereas the New York Times referred to the “Rise of the Far-Right Latina.”
Democrats have sought to mend their faltering ties with the Latino community ahead of the 2022 election. Some of those gestures have fallen flat. First Lady Jill Biden, for instance, received backlash for suggesting that Hispanics are “as unique as … breakfast tacos” at a Latinx IncluXion Luncheon in San Antonio…..
