Topic: Congressional Hispanic Caucus

1 chapters across the catalog

Congresswoman Mayra Flores was denied entry into the Congressional Hispanic Caucus because she is a Republican, which Owen Shroyer cites as proof that identity politics is a partisan tool. Shroyer contrasts this with a 2013 incident where Beto O'Rourke was also denied entry because he is not actually Hispanic. The segment mocks O'Rourke for "pretending" to be Hispanic to gain political favor in Texas.
