If you’re ever interviewed on Spanish media, they enjoy bringing up the false accusation that Latinos don’t vote for Republicans because Trump was racist and mean.
Now, if you’ve read my book, ‘The Democrat Modus Operandi,’ you know you should never respond to a false accusation directly because you legitimize the false accusation by responding to it directly. It’s a trap. Instead, you Expose and Educate in your response.
You Expose the false accusation and Educate the audience on the objective of the false accusation and its deceitful intent. I give several examples in my book.
I’ve seen numerous Republican leaders fall for this leftist media trap.
During Trump’s presidency, in a Texas border town, a group of Republicans was present at a Naturalization ceremony welcoming the new mostly-Latino citizens. The leftist media showed up. You have to know, the leftist media does not show up to report news, they show up to attack Republicans.
They went up to one of the Republicans and asked him, “How can you be talking to these new Latino American citizens about the Republican Party when you have a racist in the White House?” (This is a passive-aggressive question that should never be responded to directly. It’s an accusation disguised as a question).
The person being interviewed cringed and replied, “Well, we want people to know we’re not all like the President and that we’re still here for them.” Wrong Answer!
Of course, the leftist media interviewer gleamed with joy at the Republican’s response. His mission to portray Republicans as racist had been accomplished.
The interviewee missed an opportunity to Expose and Educate. I would have responded something like this:
“First of all, Mr. Reporter, I can see by the nature of your question – which in reality is not a question, but an accusation – that you’re not actually a reporter. You’re a Democrat activist posing as a reporter to push your Democrat agenda. That’s ok. I’ll respond to your accusation.
None of Trump’s policies are racist. But Democrats are unable to defend their failed policies with facts, figures, and positive results. So, Democrats cowardly call Republicans ‘racist’ as a distraction to avoid having to justify their horrible failed policy results.
In reality, Democrat policies are oppressive to Latinos. So, we’re here exactly because of that. These people are fleeing corrupt big-government countries that made them dependent on the government to be able to control them. And that’s exactly what Democrat policies do here in America – they make citizens dependent on the government to control them. Because what the government can give you, the government can also take away.
So, if these new citizens vote Democrat, they’re voting for exactly the same big government control from which they’re fleeing. We figure that’s the last thing they would want and that’s why we’re here – to welcome them and show them how the Republican party platform is the one that defends the freedom that will make their American Dream possible.”
