Amid MSM Julian Castro Frenzy, Henry Cisneros Becomes Nonperson

The similarities between the two politicians are absolutely eerie.

Both are Mexican Americans from San Antonio who at age 27 became the youngest city councilmen in their city's history at the time of their elections. They both went on to serve as mayors of that city. While mayor  both were prominent speakers at the Democrat national convention and were touted as future vice-presidential nominees. Later both were appointed as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development amid much media hype as "rising stars."  One would be hard pressed to find two political figures so similar as Julian Castro and Henry Cisneros...with the exception of his own twin brother, Joaquin Castro. However, during all the reports about Julian Castro's announced appointment as HUD secretary (with the notable exception of The Atlantic), there is nary a word about Henry Cisneros who seems to have become a nonperson as far as the mainstream media is concerned.

I didn’t like Castro lecturing us at the Democrat convention about how we need to accept everyone, no matter who they love. That’s code talk for accepting homosexual marriage.

I also didn’t like the way he handled the vote on God at the convention. Clearly that voice vote was not the 2/3 vote required on that issue. Clearly about half of Democrat convention delegates wanted to delete God, but he acted all tone deaf about what we all heard.

Were the Castro brothers born here or in Mexico and were their parents US citizens?

Wrong mayor. That was the L.A. mayor.

***Henry Cisneros***

He is the one who said that poor people had a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to have free air conditioners in their public housing.
