“Viva Mexico, Viva America,” sang the leader of a mariachi band at a Hillary Clinton rally on Thu., May 5, which was energized with the soul of a Latino community taking a stand against presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
Clinton supporters were given signs that read “Fighting for us,” “Latinos for Hilllary,” and “Estoy Contigo,” which means “I’m with you.” The crowd, while mostly Latino, included a number of ethnic and age groups with no specific age being the majority.
Before Clinton made her speech, ELAC President Marvin Martinez, members of the House of Representatives, California Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de Leon, and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti took the stage with a focus on taking on Trump and leaving the Democratic primary behind. The tone of the rally would have left an unknowing viewer to believe Clinton’s Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, had dropped out of the race.
The speeches during the rally included call-to-actions for the attendees to encourage their families, friends, and neighbors to get out and vote for Clinton and against Trump. During his speech Garcetti said on Clinton, “she stands for love,” and called for immigrants, children of immigrants, and grandchildren of immigrants to dump Trump.
When asked who in attendance was an immigrant or were children of immigrants, hands were raised by a majority of the room. As well, Garcetti led the crowd in chanting “Deal me in,” referencing Clinton’s reply to Trump’s claim that she was only winning because she played the woman card.
Clinton was introduced by an ELAC student who talked about having to live in fear of her mother being deported, but gained hope from the possibility of having a strong woman president in the oval office.
When Clinton took the stage, the energy in the room increased ten-fold as supporters chanted her name. She continued the theme of the night by asking her supporters to rally their family and friends in support of her and against Trump.
Her speech was momentarily interrupted by a female protester who Clinton offered to talk to, but as the protester’s ranting continued she was drowned out and covered by supporters as security escorted her out.................................

mr & mrs BS must have figured out the Super Dels aren't going to go for BS so he'll for broke and @ least keep those $27 donations flowing in as long as possible.
It's too obvious they do not want the spigot to dry up.
FBG for HRC ??@feistybunnygirl
Yesterday these people ripped a home-made Hillary poster out of a child's hands. This is not going to be tolerated.
