During an attempt to explain Donald Trump's rising support with Black and Hispanic voters, CNN's Ana Navarro claimed Latinos opposing illegal immigration have a “stupid attitude.”
Navarro, who previously advised Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, apparently doesn't think the averse economic conditions affecting countless American families has anything to do with their political considerations.
“There are some Latino immigrants who forget they came here as immigrants and who want to shut the door behind them and who think being anti-immigrant somehow is going to make them pass as more American, pass as whatever,” the Biden supporting GOP consultant said. “And that's a very stupid attitude to have.”
Hot Air's Karen Townsend reports:
She is doing what she once criticized Democrats for doing – taking minority voters for granted. She hasn't bothered to understand the appeal of Trump to voters. She is reverting to belittling Trump voters. She is having a deplorables moment. How did that work out for Hillary Clinton? It happened on the same day that the Democrat governor of New York called the people who showed up for Trump's campaign rally in the Bronx “clowns.”
Trump is receiving enough support in polls from black voters, for example, that if the numbers hold, it will be a big factor in his re-election victory. Democrats can't win without strong support from black and Hispanic voters. The problem is that the political pendulum appears to be swinging back to more conservative governance. Voters are growing weary of woke politics and Democrat pandering to buy votes using government hand-outs instead of working on policies that change lives.

Hispanic business owners are supporting Trump in greater numbers than Biden. A majority of Hispanic workers are sticking with Biden. A recent survey by the U.S. Hispanic Business Council (USHBC) shows a double-digit advantage in support of Trump by the group's business owners.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) said, “We hold the same values as everyone else.' on television this morning. Hispanic voters are socially conservative though they typically vote Democrat. Trump is doing what former President George W. Bush did to win Hispanic support – he speaks directly to them. Trump went to the Bronx to appeal to Hispanic and black voters, something that a Republican presidential candidate has not done since the 1980 presidential election. Ronald Reagan ended up winning New York. I don't think Trump will win New York but I think he will do much better there than Democrats are taking for granted.
