<Democrats> "Taking Latinos 'for Granted' "
A seat held by the Race-O-crats FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS HAS GONE REPUBLICAN.
A harbinger of things to come, and proof of things, already happening.
BTW, Race-O-Crats, LATINOS are a much larger voting block than are African Americans.....JS...
Texas Democrats slam party after Republican Mayra Flores flips House seat: Taking Latinos 'for granted'
Latino Democrats in the House of Representatives are sounding the alarm after Republican Mayra Flores won a South Texas seat held almost exclusively by Democrats for more than 100 years on Tuesday.
Florez decisively defeated Democrat Dan Sanchez in a Tuesday runoff election that Republicans say is indicative of a new trend for Latino voters, while Democrats argue the election was just a fluke. Nevertheless, many Latino Democrats say their party has taken their voters for granted for too long.
"The DCCC needs to sit down and look at South Texas seriously," Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, told Politico on Thursday. "I don’t think it’s a political realignment, but this should send a message to the DCCC... You can’t take Hispanics for granted, which they always do."
"I hope the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] learns their lesson with this before it happens across the country," Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, said. "They have just forgotten about the Brown people on the border. And that’s basically what it is. I’m not going to try to sugarcoat it anymore. They are taking Latinos in South Texas for granted."
Republicans are also capitalizing on Flores' win, arguing it is just further evidence that the party is making headway with Latino voters after former President Donald Trump received historic support from the demographic in 2020.
"It's a precursor of things that we think are to come in Hispanic communities across the country," Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel told Fox News on Thursday. "Democrats should be very, very worried about what we're seeing with Hispanic voters."
