Hispanic Group Endorses Bianco for Governor

RIVERSIDE — As Sheriff Chad Bianco campaigns to be governor of California, he’s met a detractor two. He’s even been called a racist on more than one occasion. A Republican Hispanic group apparently does not view him as such.

Bianco, a leading contender to become the next governor of California, has received the unanimous endorsement of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of California. The organization is an American political organization founded in 1967 which seeks to promote Hispanic-American issues and interests within the Republican Party, and the Party’s interests and candidates within the Hispanic-American population, according to its website. The group is partially an outgrowth of the Spanish Speaking Advisory Committee of the Republican National Committee, which itself was created as a response to successful efforts to attract Hispanic-American voters to the presidential candidacy of Richard Nixon.

“I am extremely proud and honored to receive their support in our mission to save our beautiful state,” Bianco wrote in a social media post, “Thank you!!!!!””

According to the group, “This is more than an endorsement, this is a unified voice rising from our committees.”

Would a national Hispanic group unanimously endorse a racist?
