Scathing Cruz Urges Hispanics: Don’t Let Democrats Do to Latinos What They’ve Done to Blacks [+video]

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz ripped President Obama on Wednesday with scathing remarks about Obama’s role in the epidemic of racial episodes that has gripped the country.

And he urged his Hispanic audience to not allow Democrats to do to Latinos what they’ve done to black Americans – fool them into lockstep support for the party no matter what damage it does to the community.

“He’s made decisions that I think have inflamed racial tensions, that have divided us, rather than bringing us together,” Cruz said as he addressed a crowd at a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event in Washington.

Obama spoke on Tuesday about the growing – and often violent – rallies that ignited in Baltimore and around the country after the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died April 19 in police custody. Obama said America has a “slow-rolling” crisis in minority communities, the Hill reported.

Cruz criticized Obama for being a catalyst in growing racial tension that’s pitting Americans against each other. (Read more from “Scathing Cruz Urges Hispanics: Don’t Let Democrats Do to Latinos What They’ve Done to Blacks” HERE)
