Charlie Crist’s Running Mate: Republican Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez’s ‘Latina Card Should Be Revoked’

Democrat Rep. Charlie Crist’s (D-FL) running mate Karla Hernández-Mats apparently believes that a person cannot be Hispanic if he or she does not support illegal immigration, as she stated Republican Lt. Gov.

Hernández-Mats concluded that the Republican is “out of touch with her community,” solely because she does not support the left’s open borders policies.

“So I like to think that I’m the only Latina that’s running for this seat, and really, that I represent all of our issues, all of our communities. You know, I was born and raised in Hialeah. I’m an American, but I’m very proud of my Latino heritage and very proud of everything that we represent,” she added:

“These are my parents at our inauguration in 2019. As the daughter of Cuban exiles, I proudly carry their legacy and no one can take that away from me,” she said, adding, “Hispanic by heritage, American by the grace of God”:

This is far from the first time Crist’s running mate has insulted those who disagree with her political views, openly mocking parents who are concerned about woke indoctrination in schools, attempting to make a joke out of their concerns by pretending that they are nonexistent:
