I saw this the other day. I saw a post Erick Erickson at Red State had filed about the rules change controversy at the Republican convention. In his post there was a statistic, or a fact, that I didn\u2019t know. There are more elected Hispanics who are Republicans than there are Democrats. There are more elected Republican Hispanics, including mayors and so forth, than there are Democrats. Which, of course, I didn\u2019t know. But it stands to reason.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/AlHunt.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>More Republican senators, a greater percentage of them, signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Democrats, and yet who are the racists? Al Hunt was on Charlie Rose this week sometime, and they were talking about the Republican &#8220;Hispanic problem.&#8221; Charlie Rose said to Al Hunt, who\u2019s the executive editor at Bloomberg News, &#8220;Two of the issues during this convention we have just seen &#8212; and I was there with you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One is the number of Hispanics who came to speak. Elected officials in the Republican Party. Whether it\u2019s the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=14718\">Governor of New Mexico<\/a>, whether it\u2019s looking like the Senate candidate in Texas who may very well win, attractive people who are Hispanics who are holding office who are Republicans,&#8221; Al, I mean, Al, all these Hispanics who are Republicans!

There are a lot of those, the governor of Nevada also. Uh, and the Republican Party, particularly in 2010, did a very good job of electing more Hispanics than they had before. That doesn\u2019t detract, however, from what I think is their, uh, Latino problem in this election.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, &#8220;really interesting,&#8221; Al Hunt! &#8220;There are a lot of those&#8221; elected Hispanic Republicans. &#8220;There are a lot of those&#8221;? Like what? Insects? Yeah, there\u2019s a lot of &#8220;those.&#8221; Al Hunt to Charlie Rose: &#8220;Yeah, you know, Charlie, that\u2019s right! It\u2019s interesting. There are a lot of those. The governor of Nevada. But I don\u2019t think all those elected Hispanics changes their Latino problem at all.&#8221; Now, why would that be?<\/p>\n<p>Well, because people like Al Hunt and Charlie Rose are gonna make sure that as far as anybody knows, Hispanics hate Republicans and wouldn\u2019t dare become one! Yet there are more elected Hispanic Republicans than there are Democrats. (summarized) &#8220;Yeah, there are a lot of those. That doesn\u2019t change anything, Charlie! Don\u2019t worry about it.
