Once again the democrats are using identity politics to try to get what they want. Senator Harry Reid said this in response to the fact that Marco Rubio was holding up the confirmation of Mari Carmen Aponte.
“In Nevada, ambassadorial nominee Mari Carmen Aponte is seen by the Puerto Rican community, the Hispanic community, as really somebody who is an up-and-rising star. … I just think it’s a mistake for someone who is supposedly representing Hispanic issues to do what [Rubio] has done”
Why is Marco Rubio supposed to be representing the Hispanic community? I thought he is a senator. I thought he is supposed to represent the American people and in particular those in Florida. And the last time I checked, Florida has a diverse population full of people from various socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. He is not supposed to represent hispanics just because he is of Cuban descent. He is supposed to uphold the constitution.
