Former RNC chair says “anti-Hispanic rhetoric” hurt the GOP
Sen. Mel Martinez, former head of the Republican National Committee, said this week that the GOP “had better figure out how to talk” to Latinos if they want to return to power.
“There were voices within our party, frankly, which if they continue with that kind of rhetoric, anti-Hispanic rhetoric, that so much of it was heard, we’re going to be relegated to minority status,” he said, on NBC’s Meet the Press.
Martinez was discussing the rhetoric surrounding the immigration debate.
