RNC Hispanic Outreach Director Resigns Over "Intolerance" Becomes Democrat
The Republican National Committee's Director of Hispanic Outreach for Florida, Pablo Pantoja, has quit his post and registered as a Democrat. In his letter of resignation] he cited the recent anti-immigrant study by the Heritage Foundation and the general "culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today". The study itself has been making headlines because language it contains is eerily similar to one of its authors' college dissertations that concluded, "no one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites".

Why did Mr. Pantoja ever get involved with that pack of bigots in the first place? Still, it's good to see that whatever motivated a desire to work for the fucking repug party isn't as strong as a blatantly biased attack on people sharing his heritage.

He saw that "Hispanic Outreach" was nothing but a facade
Good for him.

You know your Hispanic relations are fucked when the Hispanic director of your Hispanic Outreach program resigns and switches sides.
