Is Florida’s New Lt. Gov an “Anti-Hispanic” Hispanic?

Carlos Lopez-Cantera was sworn in as the state of Florida’s first Hispanic lieutenant governor yesterday. Gov. Rick Scott believes that Lopez-Cantera’s appointment will help win him favor with Florida’s hispanic voters, but the new Lt. Gov.’s lack of known position brings into question whether he supports Hispanics or not.

Florida conservatives celebrated Lopez-Cantera’s appointment saying that it brought diversity to the party, and they exuded high hopes of winning Hispanic voters in the 2014 elections. Lopez-Cantera was born in Madrid, Spain to Cuban parents who immigrated to America early in his life. However, Lopez-Cantera has maintained a suspiciously tentative stance on the issue of immigration.

They used to get them to talk the talk, but never walk the walk. Now, they can't even get them to talk to us. And for good reason. They don't have any common ground with us except the color of their skin, and once in a while, they'll spit out some Spanish. They're pure and simple malinchistas. They're with the enemy camp for their own profit and protection.
