Trump doesn’t just disrespect the Hispanic community. He detests them.

September 15, 2020 – Marking the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month, The Lincoln Project is today announcing their new Hispanic Steering Committee. The committee includes key current and former Republican leaders who will lead voter registration, volunteer recruitment, and fundraising activities directed towards engaging the Hispanic community.

“As the country’s second largest racial and ethnic group, consisting of nearly 60 million people, the importance of Hispanic voters in this election cannot be understated,” said Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “The Hispanic community has grown tired of the President’s mistreatment, rhetoric and lies, particularly when it comes to Latinos. We expect Hispanic communities in Florida, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and beyond will make their voices heard this year and be a deciding factor in making Trump a one-term President and replacing him with leadership that values equity, equality, and the beautiful diversity of this country.”
