White Republican accuses Latino governor of not having Latino heart

[Quantum Windbag]

Damn those asshole racist Republicans to hell.



Oops, I got that backwards, it is a white Democrat talking about a Republican governor, my bad.

Susana Martinez of New Mexico is the first female Hispanic governor in the country. She's also a gun-toting, tough-on-crime conservative Republican, and that's got Democrats in New Mexico itching to defeat her. Martinez's Democratic opponent for reelection this year is attorney general Gary King, the son of former three-term governor Bruce King. In new video obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD, the younger King told fellow Democrats at a fundraiser that Martinez "does not have a Latino heart."

King recalled the words of a previous speaker at the fundraiser, Hispanic labor activist Dolores Huerta. "She said you can't go out there and just vote for somebody for governor because they have a Latino surname," King says. "She said you have to look at them and find out if they have a Latino heart. And we know that Susana Martinez does not have a Latino heart." Watch the video below:

The democrat version of identity politics. Your political position is determined by blood lines.

Well perhaps she's a white Latina. You know like Zimmerman whom the NY Times deemed was a white Hispanic. If one can be white seems like the other is fair game too.
