A new poll from the media outlet Axios found that President Joe Biden’s support among the Latino population is eroding while support for former President Donald Trump is rising.
The latest <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/09/biden-approval-drops-democrat-popularity-rises-latino-voters">Axios-Ipsos poll</a> found that among Latinos, Biden was only leading Trump by nine points (41-32) as opposed to Biden’s first year as president when the margin was a whopping 29 points (53-24). That could prove pivotal in swing states such as Nevada and Arizona.
“In almost every case, Trump performs better than the Republican brand and Biden performs worse than the Democratic brand,&#8221; Ipsos pollster and senior vice president Chris Jackson stated.
“Biden’s lead shrinks even further — to 3 points — among Latinos who said they plan to vote in November,” Axios reported. 11% of Latinos surveyed said they would not vote for Biden or Trump; 28% said they were still undecided.
Latinos favored Trump by 22 points regarding the U.S. economy and 11 points on fighting crime.
A <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/european-political-science-review/article/solidarity-in-question-activation-of-dormant-political-dispositions-and-latino-support-for-trump-in-2020/81B1B5FC8A04CE9D970D801FDA1D4F82">study</a> published in the European Political Science Review noted that Trump’s support among Latinos grew between 2016 and 2020, adding, “Despite his anti-immigration positions and policies, the number of votes cast for Trump unexpectedly increased among members of the group most strongly associated with the issue of immigration. &#8230; We propose a counterintuitive explanation for this trend: due to the activation of dormant political dispositions, it is the very anti-immigration attitudes characterizing Trump that account for his ascendence among Latino voters. Latinos voting for Trump did so because of his anti-immigration positions and not despite those positions.”

The last time a GOP presidential candidate won in Nevada (which has 6 electoral votes) <a href="https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/fact-brief-was-2004-the-last-time-a-republican-presidential-candidate-won-nevada">occurred</a> in 2004, when George W.

Trump <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/3870203-these-6-states-will-determine-the-2024-presidential-election/">won</a> Arizona (which has 11 electoral votes) by 3.6% in 2016 but lost narrowly by 0.3% in 2020. Aside from 2020, the only time in the last 50 years that the GOP lost Arizona came in 1996, when Bill Clinton narrowly defeated Bob Dole.
If Trump were to win both states and retain the states he won in 2020, he would receive 249 electoral votes while Biden would win 289. Trump currently is expected to win Georgia, which has 16 electoral votes; that would put him at 265 and Biden at 273.

The Biden campaign claimed on Friday that former President Donald Trump wants to incarcerate Latinos in detention camps after Trump said he would start a mass deportation operation on his first day back in the White House if he’s elected in 2024.
Biden-Harris HQ, the X account that acts as a “project of Biden-Harris 2024,” posted an eight-second clip of Trump’s speech at an NRA event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Friday night. The Biden campaign staff captioned the clip, “Trump calls for mass detention camps and rounding up millions of Latinos.”
In the clip, Trump does not mention “Latinos” or “detention camps.” The short segment of the speech clipped by Biden-Harris HQ shows Trump telling the crowd, “And within moments of my inauguration, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history.”

Before making his comment on deportation, Trump <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?533497-1/donald-trump-remarks-national-rifle-association-gathering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> as president he would handle Texas’ fight to secure the southern border in the opposite way the Biden administration has dealt with it, saying, “Instead of trying to send the state of Texas a restraining order, I will send them reinforcements. They’re going to get reinforcements. They’re doing a good job.”
“And I’ll use all necessary military and law enforcement forces to defend the United States of America,” Trump added. “We’re going to be very strong.”
The Biden campaign has accused the president’s political rival of planning to “lock up millions” of people in detention camps in the past. In December, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-enrages-the-left-with-immigration-comments-team-biden-claims-he-wants-to-lock-up-millions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enraged</a> many on the Left, including the Biden team, with his remarks on illegal immigration when he said millions of illegal immigrants coming into the country are “poisoning the blood of our country.”
Biden’s campaign argued that Trump “parroted” Hitler and has a plan “to lock up millions of people into detention camps.”

“Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy. Trump is not shying away from his plan to lock up millions of people into detention camps and continues to lie about that time when Joe Biden obliterated him by over 7 million votes three years ago,” the Biden campaign said.

A mother whose daughter was sentenced to 30 days in jail for falsely accusing a Hispanic couple of trying to abduct her young children says her daughter never lied to police.
Jill Turgeon, whose daughter Kathleen “Katie” Sorensen, 31, was sentenced in July to 30 days in jail with an additional 60 days to be served on a work-release program, has been trying to prove that her daughter is innocent of the crimes of which she was convicted.
“Katie is innocent. In fact, she was found innocent of 2 of the 3 charges. The charge of which she was found guilty was only related to a single detail of her report. One detail,” Turgeon told The Daily Wire in an email. She added that the accused Hispanic male’s testimony backed up what Sorensen saw that day, although it appears Sorensen misinterpreted what was happening.
Sorensen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-instagram-influencer-charged-with-lying-after-accusing-latino-couple-of-trying-to-kidnap-her-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went viral</a> on social media in December 2020 when she accused a Latino couple of following her around a Michael&#8217;s craft store and attempting to kidnap her children. The accused couple, Eduardo and Sadie Martinez, insisted at the time of Sorenson’s allegations that race played a role.
Sorensen reportedly told police the couple followed her as she pushed her children in a stroller in the parking lot heading toward her car. She said the couple made comments about her children’s appearances and stood near her vehicle as she put her children inside.
Sorensen posted a video on social media a week after the alleged incident where she “included information that had not been initially presented” to police, the Petaluma Police Department said.
She claimed the man had looked at her when she was outside the store and that he and his wife followed her around the store and described her children to someone while on the phone.
“I heard them talking about the features of my children, but I was totally paralyzed with fear,” Sorensen told KTVU-TV at the time of the incident. “I just couldn’t bring myself to say anything.”
She claimed the couple followed her around the store and stood behind her in line even though they didn’t buy anything, and then followed her through the parking lot to her SUV. She said a white van was parked next to her vehicle, which was far from the store. She claimed the couple took a few steps toward her but then stepped back, saying the only explanation for this was that they “were just building the courage” for the kidnapping.
Sorensen claimed the man reached for the stroller, but an older man was nearby, who “saw what was going on, and I just yelled for help.”
She then said the couple drove off in a car, but another person came up behind her, possibly getting out of that white van.
The Martinez family said they went to Michael’s to buy decorations for a Nativity scene and “fully cooperated” with police.
In an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvNNozegKK9/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>, Turgeon, Sorensen’s mother, shows three surveillance footage clips from the Michael&#8217;s craft store that were presented as evidence at Sorensen’s trial. While none of the clips show an attempted kidnapping, they do show the couple moving in the way Sorensen described, which from her perspective may have looked devious when it reality it was not.
In the first clip, Sorensen is seen getting in line to checkout when the couple comes up behind her to also wait for a self-checkout lane to open. Eduardo, the husband, steps away from the line, possibly to go look at something else in the store, before returning to his wife. From Sorensen’s perspective, this was him moving around behind her and her stroller. She also reported that during this time she heard the couple talking about her children, describing their facial features. The couple said they were talking about some dolls. It could have been an innocent conversation that Sorensen misinterpreted.
In the next clip, Sorensen is seen checking out on one machine while the couple is checking out on the machine behind her. Sorensen saw Eduardo turn around to look at her and her children a couple times. He did turn around a couple times, but there’s no indication this had any ill-intent. At one point, Eduardo puts some case on the counter and continues to stand near his wife. After Sorensen pays for her items and leaves, Eduardo can be seen walking out behind her.
Eduardo reportedly testified that he always pays and then leaves his wife in the store. As Turgeon pointed out, Eduardo didn’t leave right away, but waited until Sorensen left. This is why Sorensen described him as “following” her out of the store. Surveillance footage showing them walking out of the store was not shown in court, Turgeon said. She questioned why that wouldn’t be shown when footage of her daughter and the couple entering the store was shown to a jury.
A grainy video from the parking lot then showed Sorensen at her vehicle, and the couple walking toward her SUV. The couple comes close, and then walks away, and then returns again. During this time, Sorensen said Eduardo made a motion like he was trying to grab one of her children. During the trial, Eduardo reportedly testified that he and his wife did walk near Sorensen’s car, but it was to see if a nearby restaurant was open and to decide where to eat. When they returned to the area near her car, Eduardo said he made a motion with his arm to indicate he was disappointed that the restaurant was closed. It was this motion that Sorensen wrongly interpreted as a kidnapping attempt.
In an initial interview between a police officer and the Martinezes, reviewed by The Daily Wire, it is clear that Sorensen’s story is doubted from the beginning and that police were actively looking to charge Sorensen. The law enforcement officer questioning the Martinezes even brings up the QAnon conspiracy theory that a cabal of pedophiles is operating in the U.S. – to which they respond that they don’t know anything about Sorensen. As Turgeon told The Daily Wire, neither she or her daughter “even understood fully what QAnon was.”
The police officer repeatedly mentions charging Sorensen with filing a false report and even references a “Karen” – a white woman who calls police on a black man. At one point, the Martinezes lawyer brings up the race issues, saying “you have two Latinx people accused by a white woman.” 
Turgeon told The Daily Wire that her daughter’s initial report to police mentioned a “Caucasian” woman and a &#8220;possibly Hispanic&#8221; man. Sorensen didn&#8217;t publicly mentioned the couple&#8217;s race when recounting her story.
At the end of the interview, the police officer closes the investigation into Sorensen’s claims and opens a new case to charge Sorensen with lying, even though video showed that, while Sorensen was wrong about the couple’s intent, the specific actions she reported did, in fact, occur.
The reason the story blew up as it did was due to Sorensen telling her account on social media, which led to an interview with a local news station. When the accused couple turned out to be Latino, a racial narrative was born.

A group of Hispanic Democrats in the state of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/connecticut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Connecticut</a> introduced a bill to ban the woke term &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/latinx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Latinx</a>&#8221; from state communications.
The bill was authored by five Democratic members of the state House of Representatives, all of whom are of Hispanic descent. The bill was at least partly inspired by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders&#8217; move to ban the term &#8220;Latinx&#8221; from state government. The move also comes amid broad distaste for the word among Latinos.
The <a href="https://www.cga.ct.gov/2023/TOB/H/PDF/2023HB-06384-R00-HB.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">text of the bill</a> reads:
<blockquote>[T]he general statutes [shall] be amended to prohibit any state agency, or state employee on behalf of a state agency, from using the term &#8220;Latinx&#8221; on any official communications or forms of the state agency.</blockquote>
It was introduced by five members of the state House: state Reps. Geraldo C. Reyes, Christopher Rosario, Juan R. Candelaria, Robert Sanchez, and Minnie Gonzalez.
Reyes blasted the word &#8220;Latinx&#8221; itself as a woke term that is offensive to the Constitution State&#8217;s sizeable Hispanic population; some 17.7% of the residents are Hispanic, according to the <a href="https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Census Bureau</a>. “I’m of Puerto Rican descent and I find it offensive,” Reyes told the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-connecticut-state-government-waterbury-arkansas-77817868efdbd4ee7651575acc665c6f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>. “The Spanish language, which is centuries old, defaults to Latino for everybody. It’s all-inclusive. They didn’t need to create a word, it already exists.”
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arkansas-governor-sarah-huckabee-sanders-bans-word-from-state-government-documents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned the word</a> from state documents in January. “All state offices, departments, and agencies, unless granted an exemption by the Governor, shall review official documents of their respective entities regarding the use of the term ‘Latinx,’ ‘latinx,’ ‘Latinxs,’ or ‘latinxs’ in official state documents,” her order stated. It also ordered agencies to identify all instances of the term in state documents, and within 60 days, replace all of them with some form of &#8220;Hispanic,&#8221; &#8220;Latino,&#8221; or &#8220;Latina.&#8221;
“This has been offensive and derogatory to all Puerto Ricans, and it’s something that hasn’t sat well with a lot of people here for a while.” Reyes added to <a href="https://www.ctinsider.com/politics/article/hispanic-lawmakers-ct-ban-latinx-arkansas-17742243.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CT Insider</a>. “When I found out that Arkansas Gov. [Sanders] banned it on her first day in the office, I saw that as an opportunity for me to do the same thing.” Reyes, however, criticized Sanders&#8217; move, saying she had &#8220;other motivations&#8221; for banning the word in Arkansas government documents.
A search on the <a href="https://portal.ct.gov/search-results/?q=Latinx#gsc.tab=0&amp;gsc.q=Latinx&amp;gsc.page=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state website</a> reveals that at least 920 state documents contain the word &#8220;Latinx.&#8221;
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/only-1-of-hispanics-prefer-the-so-called-gender-neutral-term-latinx-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">national poll</a> conducted in October found that only 1% of Hispanics identify as &#8220;Latinx,&#8221; a gender-neutral term imposed on Hispanics by left-wing culture. WPA Intelligence, a conservative polling firm that collaborated with Visto Media on behalf of the Latino advocacy group Bienvenido, conducted a poll of 1,288 Hispanic registered Democrat, Republican, and Independent voters.
The poll found that the community prefers to be identified as Hispanic, while others said American or Latino.
Respondents to the poll were asked to choose from a list of options as to why many Hispanics have not embraced the term — a combined 35% of Democrats blamed Hispanics rejecting the made-up term on “machismo culture” or “too much homophobia and transphobia among Hispanics.”
Other reasons Democrats believe the term has failed to catch on with Hispanic culture range from “right-wing disinformation” or simply because Hispanics take pride in their culture as it stands. In contrast, about 14% have no idea what the term means.
Meanwhile, most Republicans said it’s because Hispanics like their culture.

To underscore the unpopularity of the so-called gender-neutral term &#8216;Latinx,&#8217; a pair of national polls found that only 1% of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hispanics">Hispanics</a> prefer the representation that woke politicians and pundits force on a culture that has survived without since its foundation.
&#8220;Latinx&#8221; emerged in recent years as an alternative to preferred identifiers such as Hispanic and Latino through propaganda from news and entertainment outlets, corporations, government agencies, and universities in a global movement to erase gender and create a non-binary future.
WPA Intelligence, a conservative polling firm that collaborated with Visto Media on behalf of the Latino advocacy group Bienvenido, conducted a poll of 1,288 Hispanic registered Democrat, Republican, and Independent voters with a 3% margin of error earlier this month.
The latest national poll found that the community prefers to be identified as Hispanic, while others said American or Latino.
&#8220;This is pretty much consistent with everything that we&#8217;ve seen from Gallup and from other polls that show most Hispanics want to be called Hispanic, and that Latin x is not very popular in our community,&#8221; Giancarlo Sopo, media strategist for the firm, told reporters last week in a presentation. &#8220;So no surprises here.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In a separate poll also tallied earlier this month, 1,000 register voters were asked about the term Latinx.
Respondents of the poll were asked to choose from a list of options why many Hispanics have not embraced the term, a combined 35% of Democrats blamed Hispanics rejecting the made-up term on &#8216;machismo culture&#8217; or &#8216;too much homophobia and transphobia among Hispanics,&#8221; which just over half of those opinions came from college educated white Democratic women.
According to the poll, Hispanic culture has more pressing issues to worry about rather than buying into identity politics pushed by far-left extremist groups to garner votes from minorities only to renege on their empty platitudes after another elections season completes its cycle.
Issues like crime, inflation, and the Southern Border have taken the helm of what matters most to Hispanics rather than ideas presented to fuel the culture war legacy media has forced on its viewers for decades.
Hispanics with conservative or traditional cultural backgrounds prefer discussing such social policy bends at the kitchen table.
&#8220;Hispanics do not believe that topics such as gender identity and sexual orientation should be discussed with kids,&#8221; Sopo said.
Other reasons Democrats believe the term has failed to catch on with Hispanic culture range from &#8220;right-wing disinformation&#8221; or simply because Hispanics take pride in their culture as it stands. In contrast, about 14% have no idea what the term means — among many other cultures.
Meanwhile, most Republicans said it&#8217;s because Hispanics like their culture.
The poll revealed that many Hispanic Democrats still believe left-wing disinformation from Spanish-speaking media sources, such as the false narrative police officers kill 150 or more unarmed Black men every year, the Supreme Court outlawed abortion in the nation, or former President Trump called all immigrants &#8220;animals,&#8221; rather than just referring to MS-13 gang members.
&#8220;I think a lot of the time, Democrats are too eager to brand anything and everything that they don&#8217;t like as misinformation,&#8221; Sopo said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not denying that there is misinformation in Hispanic communities — but as we saw in this poll — it is clearly not limited to right-wing sources … right-leaning audiences. There is misinformation, and I think Hispanic voters are incredibly smart and nuanced, sophisticated enough to decipher fact from fiction.&#8221;

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) appears to be noticing the shift among Latino voters <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1130451390/midterms-biden-democrats-republicans-latino-voters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">towards</a> the Republican Party, and is now discussing what Democrats may have done to impact that shift.
On Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez appeared on the “Pod Save America” podcast and discussed the issue. 
“I can at least say with Latino voters, we’ve never tried as a party. The Democratic Party has not tried in terms of Latino electorates,” she <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/3703289-aoc-democrats-have-never-tried-with-latino-voters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. 
“We really need to step up both in our efforts on campaign, but also in our efforts in governance,” she noted.
She pointed out that immigration legislation has not resulted in any serious change, even though, as The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/3703289-aoc-democrats-have-never-tried-with-latino-voters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed</a> out, immigration is typically not as important to Hispanic voters as other issues.
“And I mean, where’s our DREAM Act? Where is our immigration reform?” asked Ocasio-Cortez. “And even recently with President Biden’s marijuana executive order, I very much applaud that he went there, but he exempted people who were convicted if they were convicted while they were undocumented.” 
“We’re looking at the overwhelming majority of people who have been convicted that would have benefitted from that pardon have status, they have status complications,” Ocasio-Cortez said. 
“It’s tough because on the other side they have no qualms. They have no qualms about having an anti-immigrant message,” Ocasio-Cortez noted, adding, “But I think we get scared of that and that segmentation prevents a clear message and that lack of clarity makes it hard to win people over.”
Democrats’ draw with Latino voters has gone down by half over the past ten years, according to an NBC News/Telemundo poll from earlier this month. 
While 54% of Latino voters in the poll <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/02/democrats-latino-voters-poll-00059932" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they’d rather see Democrats leading Congress, and 33% chose Republicans, the difference has dramatically diminished since 2012. This year, the separation between the two answers is 21 points, but in 2012, it was 42 points. 
A recent Axios-Ipsos Latino poll with Noticias Telemundo <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/10/20/latino-voters-midterms-republicans-democrats-crime-abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> that 33% of Hispanic Americans said they will vote for a Democrat in the midterm elections, while 18% said they would vote for a Republican. However, 23% have said they do not know how they will vote, which could translate to more bad news for Democrats come Election Day. 
Axios also reported that Republican Governor of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> Ron <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeSantis</a> has grown in popularity among Hispanic Floridians, with his support now rising to 51% from 39% last December. Democratic Governor of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> Gavin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gavin-newsom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsom</a>, on the other hand, has seen his favorability drop among Latino Californians, which is currently at 55% and was at 59% last December.

A new national poll suggests that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hispanics">Hispanics</a> in the U.S. favor Christopher Columbus more than President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Conducted by WPA Intelligence, a conservative polling firm that collaborated with Visto Media on behalf of Latino advocacy group Bienvenido, the national poll surveyed 1,086 respondents about which high-profile personalities Hispanic communities approved or disapproved of in an era where liberal politicians and activists propagate ongoing efforts to cancel the 15th-century Italian navigator who set out on a historic voyage in 1492.
&#8220;When you juxtapose Christopher Columbus&#8217; popularity among Hispanics with the misguided efforts to &#8216;cancel&#8217; him by progressive activists and politicians, it shows how out of touch the far left is with our community,&#8221; Abraham Enriquez, Bienvenido president, said.
Progressives have been pushing for the cancellation of Christopher Columbus in recent decades, deeming his journey to sail from the Spanish port of Palos de la Frontera on behalf of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II to explore Western civilization as an act of genocide of the Indigenous people.
&#8220;The reality is that most Hispanics, especially those who are immigrants, view Columbus quite favorably,&#8221; Enriquez added.
While educational institutes, liberal politicians, and anti-American extremists push the narrative that the Italian explorer embarked on an expedition to merely rape, pillage, and enslave the West, Hispanic communities refuse to buy the message.
According to the poll the partnering groups ran earlier this month, 53% of Hispanics view Columbus favorably, while 24% view him unfavorably, yielding a net favorability of 29 points. Meanwhile, 49% percent of Hispanics have a positive opinion of Biden, while 42% have a negative view of him, resulting in a net favorability of seven points.

On the other hand, Harris was viewed by Hispanics as the least popular between Biden and Columbus, with a net favorability rating of four points, as 45% of Hispanics say they have a favorable view of her and 41% view her unfavorably.
The poll also suggested that Hispanics&#8217; views on Columbus varied by age and whether they were born on U.S. soil or in another country. The survey says the older generations born outside the nation are more likely to view the explorer favorably than those born in the United States.
Among 18-39 years-old Latinos, 45% have a favorable view of Columbus, while 30% view him unfavorably. Among 40-59 year-olds, 54% have a favorable opinion of him and 29% unfavorable. However, among Hispanics 60 and older, 71% view him favorably and just 17% unfavorably, the poll indicates.
&#8220;It is not surprising that the same people who think Hispanics like being called &#8216;Latinx&#8217; have also assumed Hispanics are offended by Christopher Columbus — and got it completely wrong, again,&#8221; Conor Maguire, Principal and Managing Director of WPA Intelligence, said. &#8220;In the future, maybe progressives should just ask Hispanics how they feel about issues?&#8221;

Social media users were ruthless in lambasting the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> for unveiling an advertising campaign aimed at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/latinos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Latino</a> community.
The NFL unveiled its second annual &#8220;Por la Cultura&#8221; campaign to celebrate Latino Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15. As part of the campaign, the NFL debuted an alternative logo with an accent mark over the letter N, which the league claims adds an &#8220;unmistakable Latin flavor&#8221; to its campaign. Twitter users were not amused, and blistered the league for blatantly attempting to pander to Latinos.
&#8220;The league is proud to celebrate Latino Heritage Month by highlighting NFL players, coaches, and staff while partnering with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement,&#8221; the NFL said on Twitter. &#8220;We look forward to continuing collaborations with Latino creators, artist, and writers. We are here to AMPLIFY THE VOICES of the Latino Community on and off the FOOTBALL FIELD.&#8221;
The league also included a photo in its tweet highlighting the accent mark. &#8220;This shield integrates an unmistakable Latin flavor and is fundamental to our always-on, 365-day initiative,&#8221; the NFL wrote. &#8220;The electric brush stroke of the ‘eñe’ is filled with an infectious personality that is carried out through the rest of the look and feel.&#8221;
Twitter users did not hold back in roasting the NFL.
&#8220;Well at least @nfl isn’t using &#8216;Latinx&#8217; this time,&#8221; conservative activist and former Congressional candidate <a href="https://twitter.com/MatthewFoldi/status/1570497180355661826">Matthew Foldi</a> tweeted, including a screenshot of the league&#8217;s &#8220;Latinx History Month&#8221; tweet from 2021.

The NFL unveiled a similar campaign last year for &#8220;Latinx Heritage Month,&#8221; using the gender-inclusive neologism &#8220;Latinx,&#8221; a term which only 2% of self-identified Latinos use and a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-blasts-democrats-for-not-using-a-term-that-virtually-no-ones-uses-plurality-finds-term-offensive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plurality of Latinos</a>, 40%, said was offensive in a recent survey, as The Daily Wire reported in June.
&#8220;With a large and passionate Latinx fanbase, as well as a number of Latinx NFL players, personnel, and Legends, the NFL and its clubs are committed to celebrating the diverse cultures within the Latinx community,&#8221; the league wrote in a <a href="https://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/nfl-launches-por-la-cultura-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> announcing the 2021 campaign. &#8220;The campaign introduces a new tagline, &#8216;Por La Cultura,&#8217; signifying how the NFL aims to champion the diversity and vibrancy of its fans, players, and personnel. The league will also incorporate a simple, hand-drawn tilde over the N in the NFL shield, a nod to the Spanish language and the Latinx community.&#8221;

Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) called on the Hispanic community during an interview on Tuesday to tune out the future takeover of 18 Spanish-language AM and FM radio stations bankrolled by left-wing billionaire George Soros.
&#8220;He wants the Hispanic community to forget about God and family values,&#8221; Flores said during an interview on &#8220;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6h7gAtELkJMISqA32IYprA?si=bbc6cdc80c9c4073">The Truth with Lisa Boothe</a>&#8221; podcast. &#8220;That&#8217;s what the far left wants us to do, and I&#8217;m calling on the Hispanic community, fight for your Abuelo&#8217;s values — fight for your parent&#8217;s values that were instilled in you that live in us, and instill those values into your kids and into your grandkids.&#8221;
Latino Media Network announced last month that the company signed &#8220;one of the largest single acquisitions of stations by a Latino owned and operated company in history&#8221; in a $60 million all-cash deal with TelevisaUnivision. The still-pending acquisition would take over 18 radio stations in ten of the nation&#8217;s largest media markets to reach approximately one-third of the U.S. Latino population.
The network reportedly secured equity investments from investors and debt financing for the acquisition from Lakestar Finance, which affiliates itself with Soros Fund Management.
Soros has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in left-wing politicians and at least 75 progressive prosecutors across the U.S. to transform the criminal justice system with radical policies and anti-police narratives.
One of the network&#8217;s founders, Stephanie Valencia, <a href="https://latinomedianetwork.com/news/latino_media_network_lmn_launches_to_build_content_creation_and_distribution_company_to_reach_latino_market/">said</a>, &#8220;with minority media on the decline, now is the time to be investing in more resources to create content for Latinos by Latinos.&#8221;
A 2021 Pew Research <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/hispanic-and-black-news-media/">chart</a> shows Spanish news radio stations&#8217; revenue has declined over the last decade by roughly half a million dollars.
Valencia said as the Latino population drives the growth in the United States, they continue to navigate what&#8217;s happening in the world and their place in it.
However, Steve Cortes, who previously served on the Hispanic Advisory Council for President Trump&#8217;s campaign, told<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/george-soros-hispanic-radio-stations-reeks-desperation"> Fox News</a> he believes with the population moving away from the Democratic Party, Soros&#8217; latest project indicates liberals &#8220;rightly fret about the incredible gains among Hispanics for the America First Movement.&#8221;
&#8220;The radicalism of the Democrats today has effectively left formerly Dem-leaning Latinos as political orphans,&#8221; Cortes told Fox News Digital. &#8220;Hispanics increasingly rally to the America First combination of cultural conservatism plus patriotic populist economics.&#8221;
Integrated Communication and Research, a public opinion and market research consulting company based in Miami, Florida, recently published a <a href="https://app.box.com/s/ecygirvsu4yuqszvvrxv7y7yvpg0ee6d">poll</a> that showed Democrat-leaning Hispanics have considered leaving the party &#8220;by a double-digit margin.&#8221;
Jorge Arrizurieta, the Spanish-language conservative Americano Media president, told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/poll-hispanics-arent-flocking-gop-democrats-still-problems-rcna20794">NBC News</a> the &#8220;results showed good news, but not great news, for the Republican Party and conservative candidates.&#8221;
&#8220;We confirmed what we thought might be true,&#8221; Arrizurieta said. &#8220;Hispanic voters are moving toward the center-right, but continuing this trend will require engagement by the party and its candidates.&#8221;
&#8220;Republicans must show up in the Hispanic community,&#8221; he added.
Rep. Flores, who previously voted Democrat, said she ditched the party when she realized the it did not align with her beliefs, such as her standing for God, the unborn, and family.
&#8220;I was not aware, to be honest with you, what each party stood for,&#8221; Flores said. &#8220;I voted Democrat because most people in the Hispanic community do vote Democrat, but once I realized what each party stood for, I realized that my values aligned with the Republican Party.&#8221;
Flores said many Hispanics had walked away for other reasons — especially on the cultural and economic front.
&#8220;I am blown away because that wasn&#8217;t the Democrat Party,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve gotten so far left,&#8221; noting they completely abandoned American values and the Hispanic community.
&#8220;I just don&#8217;t recognize that party anymore,&#8221; she added.
Flores said she asks the Hispanic and American communities to pledge their loyalty to God, family, and each other instead of aligning themselves with political parties.
&#8220;Because this is really a battle against good versus evil,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And them wanting to take everything away from us.&#8221;

MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos faced criticism after she said Latino voters are attaching themselves more to conservative ideologies because of a “cultural identity crisis.”
Ramos, who formerly worked as the deputy director of Hispanic press for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/former-clinton-aide-trump-s-improvement-among-latino-voters-in-2020-goes-beyond-politics-116097093641?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">appeared</a> Monday on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Deadline: White House.&#8221;
Regarding new data released from the Pew Research Center showing that former President Donald Trump made gains among Latino voters in 2020 compared to 2016, Ramos asked, “How? How after four years of Donald Trump?”
She continued, “Right? After hearing about the wall, after seeing family separation, after seeing hate crimes rise, after hearing the words ‘go back to your country,’ how is it possible that Donald Trump did 10 points better with Latinos in 2020 than he did in 2016?”
She went on to say that she thinks there is a story behind the 10-point increase, adding that it goes beyond politics and strategy. 
“There is a cultural identity crisis that we are undergoing as a community that is completely splitting and dividing Latinos,&#8221; Ramos said.
“In this crisis, you have on the one hand, Latinos that believe that in order to achieve the American Dream, you have to get as close as possible to whiteness, and that is something that Trump gave them permission to do,&#8221; Ramos added. &#8220;On the other hand, you have Latinos that believe that in order to achieve the American Dream, you have to get as far as possible from whiteness. And that is a dilemma that I don&#8217;t think we have seen clearly.” 
She said that she has to change how she thinks about Latinos, instead focusing on how they see themselves in the U.S. She did not acknowledge the socialist rhetoric that has risen from members of the progressive Left that, as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-contributor-crisis-latinos-democratic-party">Fox News pointed out</a>, some analysts have noted might be the reason that some Latino voters distanced themselves from the Democratic Party.
Later on in the interview, Ramos added, “I think the big question Democrats now have to figure out is can we — do we go after those lost Latino Trump supporters and can we do that while at the same time going for the more progressive, diverse Latino voters? In this moment, I am not so sure you can do both things because they are completely at moral odds.”
Ramos <a href="https://twitter.com/paoramos/status/1412211095054471170">added</a> on Twitter,” Per [Pew], Trump won 38% of the Latino vote— that’s a 10 point increase from ‘16. Politics alone doesn’t explain it. I believe Trump tapped into a cultural identity crisis we’re undergoing—&amp; we need to pay attention.”

It added, “There was a wide educational divide among Hispanic voters: Trump did substantially better with those without a college degree than college-educated Hispanic voters (41% vs. 30%).”
Pew noted, “While Biden took a 59% majority of the Hispanic vote, Trump (with 38%) gained significantly over the level of support Republican candidates for the House received in 2018 (25%). To be sure, Hispanic voters are not a monolith; there is substantial diversity within the Hispanic electorate.”

MSNBC Contributor Criticitized For Blaming 2020 Rise In Latino Trump Supporters On ‘Cultural Identity Crisis’

Election

A Latino organization, whose president served on the Democratic National Committee and served as a Democrat in the Texas State House, attacked GOP governors who have sent law enforcement officers and members of the National Guard to the southern border, writing to President Biden that the GOP governors’ actions are an “insurrection.”
Domingo Garcia, the president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), wrote, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/latino-activist-group-state-law-enforcement-border-insurrection">Fox News</a>:
<blockquote>President Biden, as the commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and the militia of the several states, you have authority to prevent this usurping of federal powers by a few recalcitrant and rebellious states. If you cannot stop this additional insurrection, we request that you deploy federal troops to defend the rights and lives of Hispanic Americans on the border.</blockquote>
On June 10, GOP governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/press/Abbott-Ducey_Compact_Letter_to_Governors.pdf">wrote a letter</a> to their fellow GOP governors in which they stated:
<blockquote>We write to you regarding our existing Emergency Assistance Management Compact, which empowers our States to help one another in times of disaster or emergency. Those two words aptly describe the current crisis at America’s southern border. On behalf of Texas and Arizona, we respectfully but urgently request that you send all available law-enforcement resources to the border in defense of our sovereignty and territorial integrity.</blockquote>
On June 16, Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis became the first GOP governor to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-desantis-announces-he-will-send-florida-law-enforcement-to-assist-at-border-blasts-biden-admin/">respond</a>, asserting, “America’s border security crisis impacts every state and every American. … The Biden Administration ended policies implemented by President Trump that were curbing illegal immigration, securing our border, and keeping Americans safe. Governors Abbott and Ducey recently sent out a call for help to every state in the nation, needing additional law enforcement manpower and other resources to aid with border security. I’m proud to announce today that the state of Florida is answering the call. Florida has your back.”
On June 19, Governor Pete Ricketts <a href="https://governor.nebraska.gov/press/gov-ricketts-sends-nebraska-state-patrol-troopers-aid-texas-border-crisis-management">followed suit</a>, announcing that Nebraska would be sending Nebraska State Patrol troopers to Texas. On June 24, Iowa GOP Governor Kim Reynolds <a href="https://governor.iowa.gov/press-release/gov-reynolds-to-send-iowa-law-enforcement-officers-to-aid-border-security-efforts">announced</a> that Iowa State Patrol officers would be deployed to the U.S. Southern Border to aid law enforcement and border security efforts. On June 29, South Dakota GOP governor Kristi Noem <a href="https://news.sd.gov/newsitem.aspx?id=28226">announced</a> that South Dakota National Guard troops would be deployed to Texas. The same day, Arkansas GOP governor Governor Asa Hutchinson <a href="https://governor.arkansas.gov/news-media/press-releases/governor-hutchinson-authorizes-90-day-deployment-of-up-to-40-national-guard">authorized</a> a 90-day deployment of up to 40 members of the Arkansas National Guard to Texas. On July 1, Idaho GOP governor Brad Little announced a <a href="https://gov.idaho.gov/pressrelease/gov-little-details-his-plan-to-help-secure-u-s-mexico-border-and-protect-idahoans/">plan</a> to send Idaho State Police (ISP) troopers to Arizona.
At the LULAC State of Latino America Virtual Summit in February, the honorees and keynote speakers <a href="https://lulac.org/gala21/">included</a> these Democrats: then-New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland, who is now President Biden’s Secretary of the Interior, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, Texas Rep. Filemon Vela, and California Rep. Raul Ruiz.

President Joe Biden faced backlash on Thursday for using a term for Latinos that some consider offensive, suggesting that Latinos are illegal aliens, and for mixing up the Tuskegee Airmen with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a reason why it&#8217;s been harder to get African Americans initially to get vaccinated because they&#8217;re used to being experimented on, the Tuskegee Airmen and others,&#8221; Biden said. “People have memories. People have long memories.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.nps.gov/teachers/classrooms/who-are-the-tuskegee-airmen.htm">explained</a> by the National Park Service, the Tuskegee Airmen and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study are two entirely separate things and are not related.
&#8220;It&#8217;s awful hard as well to get latinx vaccinated as well,&#8221; Biden continued. &#8220;Why? They&#8217;re worried that they&#8217;ll be vaccinated and deported.&#8221;
