(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.
