Why the Congressional Hispanic Caucus rejected Mayra Flores
« on: October 27, 2022, 11:28:52 AM »
The CHC has rejected Mayra Flores's, the first Mexican born congresswoman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, request to join he CHC.
Reasons given
Their bylaws state only dems can join. I guess only dems can be Hispanic. So much for being inclusive.
"Extreme MAGA values and their attacks on Latinos"

Quote
The CHC's website websites states the Caucus "addresses national and international issues and crafts policies that impact the Hispanic community. The function of the Caucus is to serve as a forum for the Hispanic Members of Congress to coalesce around a collective legislative agenda."

But only if they're democrate and left wing.

If the CHC gets any Federal funds at all, one of the first things a new GOP majority in the House ought to do is totally defund it - let the D's cough up their own cash to support it.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

My thoughts after the rejection by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, maybe I'm not the right type of taco.

Here's what DIE really means:

Diversity = Division.  Break American up into small competing groups and keep pointing out how different they are and how some are evil.

Inclusive:  You are included only if you agree to accept and agree to follow the narrative.

Equity:  Reduce everything to the lowest common denominator.

"Never wrestle with a pig.  You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."  G.B. Shaw
