Evidence Quote
“in 2012, Obama won again. And the lesson was-- The GOP needs to send a powerful signal to Hispanic voters that the party respects them...And send a powerful signal to the Hispanic community the GOP did. When Mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.”
