RNC Chairman: GOP Does ‘Lousy Job’ Of Courting Latinos

“I’ll be honest here. In the past two years, we’ve done a pretty lousy job of connecting in the Latino community,” Priebus said in his remarks at a Chicago event for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, as quoted by the Tribune. “We’ve missed out on opportunities to build better relationships. But that’s going to change.”

“I didn’t come here to convert you,” he added. “I hope that it’s clear that we want to earn your trust and your vote.”

“In the mean time, allow us to make fun of your heritage and accuse you all of being illegal and on welfare.”
