This is fairly common among white Hispanics - particularly Republicans.

To be fair to them, many are painfully aware of the stigma that being Hispanic implies in many circles - and will often deny being fluent in Spanish.

All the more so if they're a politician constantly trying to cater to Jim Crow types.

1) Trump imposed a ban on travel from China when everybody else said not to
2) Cuomo packed seniors infected with coronavirus into nursing homes with healthy people in NY

7. It's sad. A beard usually makes a man look more mature and bestows some dignity and gravitas.

Cruz just looks stupid in a beard. I can't say why, but he does.

The reason the NY and NJ governors sent patients to Senior Centers, because
that was what the federal pandemic playbook told them to do.

Both were following that playbook at the time.
And since NY & NJ got hit first, and Whoopi Goldberg mentioned this,
all the other governors learned that was not the thing to do, so they
didn't send people to senior centers.

Idiot Cruz just wanted to make "Democratic Governors" look bad.
In reality, they looked the best, because they were able to get a handle on it
before anyone else.

Watch what happens in Florida in 2 weeks, (R) voters will be dropping like flies.
Unfortunately, they'll be taking (D) voters with them, spreading it everywhere.

COVIDIOTS!
