Hispanic Chamber Of Commerce Trolls Donald Trump By Endorsing Hillary Clinton At GOP Convention

Most endorsements announced at party conventions are in support of that party’s pick for president, or at the very least someone in the party.

So it was a particularly obvious snub to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump when the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce chose to announce its support of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the middle of the Republican National Convention.

That’s in the middle almost literally ― the announcement Wednesday will be made by Javier Palomarez, president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, in a CNN interview from Cleveland.

I read the OP article, it seems this endorsement is not happening as PART of the rethug convention, just "at" it ( like in Cleveland? Or the same building?) in a CNN interview.

I was disappointed that it wasn't being done actually from the convention floor. Lol
