Cada vez que Trump habla sobre la comunidad inmigrante de Colorado, los votantes se acuerden del récord anti-inmigrante de Coffman.
Esta semana, Donald Trump dará un discurso sobre su plan de inmigración, que probablemente será un discurso de puras “ideas” inalcanzables e inhumanas. Pero, a pesar de todo, el mensaje de la campaña de Trump ha sido racista y xenófoba. El congresista Mike Coffman se comprometió apoyar al candidato republicano, aún DESPUÉS que Trump llamara a los Mexicanos asesinos y violadores (y un montón de otras cosas terribles que Coffman no ha encontrado encuestas para hablar en contra de ellas).
“La decisión de Donald Trump de hacer la retórica anti-inmigrante el enfoque de su campaña pone a la luz el récord anti-inmigrante de Mike Coffman,” dijo Javier Gamboa, el portavoz del DCCC. “Es muy simple: cada vez que Trump abre la boca le hace más difícil a Coffman ganar su reelección.”
Que no se te pase esta historia que te preparara para el discurso de Trump:

Latino Dems blame Mike Coffman for Trump’s rise

Democratic Latino leaders partially blame U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman for laying the ideological base for Donald Trump’s “racist” platform.
Coffman, who has endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio for president, has remained silent on whether, in a general election, he would support Trump, the GOP frontrunner, or Trump’s anti-immigrant platform, which has been embraced by the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists.
Democrats and liberal groups point out Coffman’s silence is particularly deafening in a moment when Republican leaders, including Mitt Romney, have spoken against Trump and risk exploding the party trying to dethrone its frontrunner during what may be a contested national GOP convention in Cleveland.
[…]
Leading that march, as Carroll sees it, is Donald Trump, who has been blasted by leaders of both parties for stumbling on whether to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups, including Storm Front, which are championing his campaign and seeing a website traffic spike because of their endorsement of him.
[…]
Speaking Spanish doesn’t change anti-immigrant policies Coffman has supported, say community leaders like state Rep. Joe Salazar, who describes the Congressman as “xenophobic” and “racist.”
Earlier this year, Coffman came under scrutiny after The Colorado Independent broke a story that he attended the conference of ACT for America, an organization dubbed “the nation’s leading anti-Muslim hate group” by the Council on American-Muslim Relations.
[…]
One question The Independent would have asked: Did Coffman help create “the nativist, xenophobic, and racist campaign of Donald Trump,” as state Rep. Joe Salazar said in a statement released by the Carroll campaign.
Without a response from Coffman’s office, Salazar’s remarks are left to stand alone: “The fact that we have a Congressman who pals around with organizations described as hate groups and refuses to speak out against Trump’s dangerous rhetoric is really sad, and quite frankly, scary.”
