Zachary Evans - Obama Claims Evangelical Latinos Disregarded Trump's Racism Because of View on 'Abortion,' 'Gay Marriage
Maybe Obama suffers from a bad conscience. Giancarlo Sopo, the Trump campaign’s director of rapid response for Spanish media, disputed Obama’s claim.
“Our Hispanic advertising and communications largely focused on economic issues, public safety, Latin America, and socialism,” Sopo wrote in an email to National Review. “We never ran a single ad that even mentioned gay marriage, and while our surrogates did address abortion in media appearances, our only advertising on the topic was limited to a modest radio buy in New Mexico. ”
Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.), criticized Obama’s comments as “condescending.”
Ah yes, those Hispanic evangelicals. So backwards. Clinging to their guns and religion, you might say. Barack Obama still the most condescending corporate liberal in America https://t.co/IqUdbx5FB7 — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) November 25, 2020

The article does well to quote Allie Beth Stuckey's reply:
Obama demeaning Hispanic evangelical voters for their marriage/abortion views is so classically Obama. Always presenting himself as the uniter while smugly condescending those who disagree with him. Give me Trump’s bombastic tweets over Obama’s smooth cruelty any day. — Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) November 25, 2020
