“I will not apologize for being an American of Mexican Descent,” said Lubbock Councilman Victor Hernandez in response to the controversy over his reportedly referring to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott visiting a Hispanic restaurant while campaigning as AG Abbot having “came into our house uninvited.”
The implication was that AG Abbott, being white, was not welcome in a Hispanic community without Councilman Hernandez’s prior approval. Neither AG Abbott nor anyone else on record attacked the councilman for being of Mexican descent.
The initial reported remarks that started the controversy also seemed to attack AG Abbott’s 32-year marriage to a Latina woman as being a ‘prop.’ The controversy reached new heights as Lubbock’s mayor publicly apologized on behalf of the city over the embattled Councilman’s reported statements. Councilman Hernandez, however, denied that the “props” remark was directed at AG Abbott’s wife.
Interestingly, the councilman did not address the “came into our house uninvited” aspect.
What purpose Councilman Hernandez had in implying that a causal relationship exists to his having made racially divisive and seemingly racial-separatist remarks to him being of Mexican-American descent remains unclear at this time.

That has been his career. Think of him as a knock-off version of Obama.
55 years ago, Lubbock’s favorite son married a Latina:Buddy Holly. Was that for show also?
Hernandez is a prime example of what happens when you let ignorant people vote. It’s not a voter ID problem. It’s an IQ problem.
Texas SMH ping!
It sure works in this “new world” of ours!
Last week, Abbott made a campaign stop at the Jimenez Bakery in Lubbock, Texas. The next day, Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez held a press conference criticizing Abbott for using Hispanics as “props,” and engaging in what he called “pinata politics,” reportedly going so far as to launch a personal attack of Abbott’s Latina wife.
Abbott replied that Hernandez’s behavior is indicative of many Hispanic Democrats in Texas right now. He explained that Hispanics in Texas are beginning to realize that the Democrats really do not have their best interests at heart and are now flocking to the Republican party, which is causing the Democrats in Texas to start scrambling.

Maybe we could sponsor a psychokinesis contest between Hernandez and David Duke. Would tickets sell?
Thanks for that update! Libtards are just nuts, that’s all!
Would it be a deathmatch?
Sure, sure — anything to move the tickets! We’ll let ‘em know we’ve changed the rules a little bit ....
