Texas Democratic Party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa faced enormous backlash this week for suggesting that a contributing factor to his party's humiliating defeat was its obsession with gender ideology. Evidently unable to weather the storm, Hinojosa announced his resignation Friday.
Hinojosa, who has led the Texas Democratic Party for 12 years, told the Texas Newsroom Wednesday that Trump's promise to institute mass deportations and limit legal immigration resonated with voters across the beleaguered state, highlighting Trump's successes in every single county in the Rio Grande Valley and elsewhere across South Texas.
"Why do you think that Trump did so well with Hispanics? Because Hispanics live on the border," said Hinojosa. "We're talking about thousands of people crossing into the United States, and the government [under Joe Biden] is perceived not to be able to do anything to solve it."
