Media, Democrats slur against Hispanic and black Republicans

 Fox News:

Non-White Republicans have been dismissed and demonized by Democrats and their mainstream media allies simply because they favor conservative views while simultaneously being Black or Hispanic, and they say they've had enough.

"It's unbelievable to see the media treat us this way," Republican candidate for Congress in Texas' 28th District Cassy Garcia told Fox News Digital.

As the midterms finally come to a close with Election Day next week, they're taking stock of some of the coverage they've seen from mainstream outlets and pundits. And it's often not been pretty.

Garcia believes many media members simply assume Black and Hispanic Americans should be Democrats. She pointed to ABC News’ "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin saying earlier this year that a Black Republican was an "oxymoron" and she didn't "understand" Black or Latino conservatives as a key example.

ABC'S SUNNY HOSTIN CONDEMNED BY BLACK, LATINO REPUBLICANS FOR DISPARAGING REMARKS: 'THAT'S RACISM RIGHT THERE'

"We saw that play out, right, with The New York Times when they interviewed me, Monica and Mayra [Flores], and they called us ‘far-right Latinas’ because we grew up in a conservative household, because we went to church. And so when they talk about this oxymoron about Black conservatives, at the end of the day, we are conservatives… we love this country so much."

De La Cruz believes Hostin’s "oxymoron" remark proves how "out of touch these elitist Democrat liberals" in the media really are.

"They don't realize that the everyday American is myself and Cassy Garcia," Texas House candidate Monica De La Cruz told Fox News Digital.

"I think that the liberal media has just gone so far to the left and out of touch with the everyday American that they don't realize that they have become offensive to people just like me," De La Cruz said. "People don't want to hear that garbage from them because they don't relate, and it's just simply not true, and it's offensive."

The New York Times offended Hispanic conservatives earlier this year when it covered Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas, Garcia and De La Cruz as the "rise of the far-right Latina." On Sunday, Atlanta-area pastor Jamal Bryant called Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker the "lowest caricature of a stereotypical broken Black man as opposed to somebody who is educated and erudite and focused." When the insult was covered by USA Today, it wasn’t painted as a disparaging remark. Instead, the paper labeled the comments "fiery" and put a spotlight on congregants who "cheered, clapped and nodded heads" in the church's pews.

These brave candidates deserve respect and they also deserve the votes.  I grew up around Hispanics and they are patriotic Americans.  I served in the Marine corps with blacks and Hispanics who are true patriots.  The suggestion that there is something wrong with them running as Republicans is absurd.
