(DCNF)—NPR host Maria Hinojosa claimed Sunday that Hispanics are backing Former President Donald Trump over Kamala Harris because they “want to be white,” adding that the key voting bloc could be a huge liability for the vice president heading into November.
Trump has picked up substantial support among Hispanic voters in polling due to issues like immigration and the economy before President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection on July 21, with Harris regaining some support from Hispanic voters since replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. Hinojosa said many Hispanics cited Trump’s track record in business to justify their support for the former president, even as she tried to dismiss it.
“What I said to you when we asked the question was, Latinos want to be white. They want to be with the cool kids,” Hinojosa told MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart. “They want to be — I’m asking Latinos all the time and they just say, ‘Well, isn’t Donald Trump es tan buen negociante? He is such a good businessman.’ It’s like, no, he’s not. He had bankruptcies.”
“But they don’t want to be identified with all of those other immigrants that Donald Trump speaks so badly of, including me as a Mexican immigrant, so they’re like, ‘Let’s be with him,’” Hinojosa continued. “But those numbers, they could cost Kamala Harris the election. Everything that I’ve been saying that Latinos could push her over the top, these are the numbers that could also take her down.”
Harris trails Trump 48% to his 51% in a Fox News poll of likely voters in Arizona released Thursday, partially fueled by Trump’s relative strength with Hispanic voters. Trump trails Harris by 2% in the RealClearPolling average of polls from September 3 to 20, with the vice president’s lead remaining at 2% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver are included in surveys.

Hinojosa also referenced how Trump and his running mate. Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, amplified unconfirmed reports of pets being stolen and eaten by Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, via social media and during the Sept. 10 presidential debate. Springfield residents told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the city struggled to handle the influx of approximately 20,000 migrants, alleging that there has been an increase in traffic accidents and housing prices.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
