Latinos for Trump Crowd Gets Ugly After Pence Mentions Democrats: Traitors! Murderers! Lock Them in the Cages!
Things turned ugly during Vice President Mike Pences speech at the Latinos for Trump kickoff rally when Pence mentioned Democrats in Congress, and members of the crowd shouted Traitors! and Lock them in the cages they built!
On Tuesday morning, Pence delivered remarks at the DoubleTree Miami Airport & Convention Center for what was billed as the Donald J. Trump for President Latino Coalition Rollout, and whipped the small but vocal crowd into a frenzy over Democrats.
At one point, Pence spoke about the migrant crisis at the southern border, telling the crowd The truth is we are on track this year for nearly a million people coming across our border. And its amazing to think that Democrats and many in the media spent the last 6 months saying it was a manufactured crisis.
At least three different shouts of Traitors! could be heard, as Pence continued.
But the only thing that was manufactured was their outrage. But as they denied the crisis, you all deserve to know the Democrats have also been denying funding for humanitarian assistance, for facilities to support the courageous men and women of costumes in board of protection, Pence claimed.
Put them in the cages they built! someone shouted. The Trump administration has been widely criticized for keeping migrant children in cages.
Members of the crowd shouted Traitors! again a few minutes later as Pence spoke about changing immigration laws.

World of difference between them and he was playing to the Cuban population who are still lusting of the good old days when Batista was the right wing "president" of Cuba. They will never get over it.

But some of the younger Cubans are starting to see through the bullshit.

(7,813 posts)Are they against refugees from other Latin American countries coming into the country? Are they angry about the conditions the children are in? Are they blaming the wrong people? How is Pence able to whip up a crowd? Are there plants in the audience?

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.
