Several Hispanic Trump surrogates pull support following speech

Posted by | September 1, 2016 14:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


A number of Hispanic surrogates have soured on Trump after seeing his immigration pitch.

Jacob Monty, a member of Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council, quickly resigned after the speech. Another member, Ramiro Pena, a Texas pastor, said Trump’s speech likely cost him the election and said he’d have to reconsider being part of a “scam.” And Alfonso Aguilar, the president of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, said in an interview that he is “inclined” to pull his support.

“I was a strong supporter of Donald Trump when I believed he was going to address the immigration problem realistically and compassionately,” said Monty, a Houston attorney who has aggressively made the Latino case for Trump. “What I heard today was not realistic and not compassionate.”

    Alan, pay me minimum wage and I will do the job of writing your headlines. Don’t even have to worry about health insurance benefits. I am already enrolled..

    At the moment, the current headline

    “””several-hispanic-trump-surrogates-support-following-speech/”””

    makes no sense.

      Thank you. I was disappointed when I read the headlines. When reading the article I thought wait, what. Then I thought I maybe I read it wrong.

      This kind of thing is a chronic problem for Alan.com. I too wish he’d address it and fix it.

    It is hard to feel bad for any minority or any female that was still supporting rump since the beginning.

      I don’t care about any of them not do I feel sorry for them. Each and every one of them are responsible for this chit storm. He was ugly before he started and became nastier by the minute. Again, they hate the democrats more than they love this country. It was win at any cost. They finally realize the cost is too high. Even for them.

    Trump finds the weirdest supporters, like the black pastor that wants “to send to blacks back to Africa.

    certainly took these fools a long time to realize that rump is a mofo without any soul.
