just awful what this elected Democrat goes around saying. I can't remember when things were this nasty
SNIP:
Dem Rep Guttierez
Remember back in 2010 when Obama urged Latinos to punish our enemies?
Illinois Democrat Luis Gutiérrez took that concept to a whole new level at a press conference about immigration reform this weekend.
Flanked by members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Gutiérrez offered remarks in English and then Spanish but his tone changed significantly in the second half.
Andrew Johnson of National Review has the details and the English translation:
Gutiérrez​ in Spanish Remarks: GOP Want to Punish Our Community
Representative Luis Gutiérrez​ (D., Ill.), one of the most prominent proponents of comprehensive immigration reform, offered a noticeably harsher message about Republicans when he switched to Spanish during a recent press conference.
Joining the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as the House awaits a vote on a border bill, Gutiérrez​ first spoke in English, criticizing Republicans approach to addressing the border crisis and accusing them of putting political gain over helping the unaccompanied children crossing the border. The remarks were critical, as one would expect; the furthest he went was to claim that Republicans speak about Hispanics almost as though we are a vile, repugnant community to them that they vilify and demonize in every one of their statements.
He then said he would make some remarks en español.
The English translation:
They know hes going to act soon they want to maintain this crisis to condemn our community, a community without rights for our kids at this moment, our DREAMers, and for millions of others that the president has said he wants to help. Thats what they want. They want to punish our community, and that punishment will be met with an electoral punishment. Be assured that we are not going to forget the mistreatment our community has received.

So much for that new tone we were all lectured about.
