Republican Latinos come out swinging as they warn GOP (VIDEO)

Republican Latinos, Republican Latinos warn the GOP

Republican Latinos have been the brunt of attacks and discrimination by their own Party. Several distinguished Conservative Republican Latinos got together in Boulder, Colorado, the location of the next Republican Debate to vent their frustration and provide a stark warning.

“Heed our warning,” said Rosario Marin, former President George W. Bush U.S. treasurer. “Don’t expect us to come to your side during the general election. You are not with us now, we will not be with you then. You don’t need our vote now, you won’t have it then. You insult us now, we will be deaf to you then. You take us for granted now, we will not recognize you then.”

The Huffington Post reported the event as follows.

BOULDER, Colo. — On the eve of the third Republican presidential debate, an unprecedented gathering of two dozen top Hispanic conservative groups issued a stern warning to all candidates: Refrain from engaging in incendiary rhetoric on the campaign trail or we’ll refuse to support you in your bid for the White House.

The meeting, held less than a mile from the site of the debate at the University of Colorado’s Boulder campus, was organized by the American Principles Project’s Latino Partnership. It was also attended by leaders from other grassroots groups, including the Latino Coalition, Hispanic Leadership Fund and the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference — all key groups engaged in building support for Republicans among the Latino community.

Officials present said that no campaign or party had spurred the meeting, but rather conservative activists desired to come off the sidelines to condemn inflammatory rhetoric about the Hispanic community — a key demographic in the swing state of Colorado.

“We want candidates to know: We’re monitoring your language. We are monitoring what you propose. And we’re going to hold you accountable,” said Alfonso Aguilar, head of the American Principles Project’s Latino Partnership.

It will be interesting to see if the rank and file Republicans heed the warning. One wonders how any Latino can find comfort in a Party that shows everyday that a large percentage of its members and leadership despise them.
