In reply to the discussion: Rep. Joaquin Castro Questions Sanders' Commitment to Latino Community [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)You should check the context in which he said it. He was referring to visiting Texas to talk to Latinos about their issues, not just fly in to Dallas for a quick appearance, recite his now weary stump speech in front of a friendly crowd of howling teenagers, then disappear for his next appearance in Houston.
Unlike Clinton, who gets out and talks to people, he never gets out and mingles with the people from whom he's hoping to gain support.
As the article points out, Castro said that Sandes hasn't reached out to the Latino Community in Texas, and on that score he's 100% correct!
Had everyone READ the article instead of just immediately jumped on Castro because he's supporting Clinton, they would have read this:
"Castro clarified Monday he was specifically referring to Sanders visiting predominantly Hispanic communities in Texas. In July, Sanders held rallies in Dallas and Houston that drew thousands of supporters."
