If you are covering the opening of “Casa Crist” in Tampa, please consider the following statement from the Republican National Committee:
“Florida Democrats’ insincere, last-minute effort to engage with Tampa Hispanics is what you’ve come to expect from a party that compares Hispanics to ‘breakfast tacos.’” – RNC Spokeswoman Julia Friedland
Background:
- Florida Democrats’ Hispanic Outreach Leaves Much to be Desired:
- Charlie Crist thinks he understands Hispanic culture because he has had Greek food before.
- Democrats wondering why Biden’s approval rating has hit all-time lows among Hispanics should consider that Biden thought playing “Despacito” at a campaign event in Kissimmee would be a good idea.
- Florida Democrats, who still call Hispanics “Latinx,” have taken note of their own Hispanic outreach shortcomings. While praising Republicans’ impressive ground game, Florida Democrat Annette Taddeo said: “Hispanic engagement among Democrats is ‘definitely, across the board, I’d say not enough,’ Taddeo said, noting that the GOP has a sustained Hispanic outreach program in South Florida that operates regardless of whether it’s an election cycle.”
- Florida Democrats Have Failed Hispanics
- Since 2020, Joe Biden’s approval among Hispanics has fallen significantly, with over 60% disapproving of his presidency. This represents the highest disapproval rating among any demographic.
- From propping up the Cuban regime, to removing FARC from the list of foreign terrorist organizations, to begging Maduro for oil, Biden has written off Hispanics, especially those in Florida.
- 61% of Hispanics do not support the country’s direction under Biden.
- Biden’s handling of kitchen table issues, namely historic inflation and gas prices, have particularly turned Hispanics away from the Democrat party.
- Long-time Hispanic Florida Democrats are flipping Republican because they don’t recognize the Democrat party anymore
- Charlie Crist’s running mate, Karla Marx, is a Fidel Castro apologist
- Republicans’ Continuous Hispanic Outreach:
-
- Unlike Florida Democrats, Republicans invested early on in Hispanic outreach for the 2022 midterm cycle. The Republican National Committee made a multimillion-dollar commitment to continue our organizing efforts in Hispanic communities in key states across the country. Of our 5 communities centers in Florida, 3 are designated for Hispanic outreach (Doral, Tampa and Orlando.)
- Our community centers in Tampa and Doral have hosted the “Republican Civics Initiative,” working to build relationships with Hispanic voters by helping immigrants prepare for naturalization tests.
- The Republican National Committee also rolled out a Spanish-language version of Campaign Sidekick, the RNC’s voter contact app, to help continue making inroads with Hispanic voters.
