DEMS/HISPANICS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Julián Castro on Friday [8-9-19] defended his brother’s tweeting out a list of constituents who have donated to President Donald Trump, lambasting local businesses that he said profit ‘off the backs of Hispanic customers’ while supporting a president who has vilified that same community…Castro’s remarks came amid controversy that erupted after Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) listed the names of more than 40 donors who gave maximum contributions to Trump’s campaign. Following the tweet, Trump called Joaquin Castro the ‘lesser brother of a failed presidential candidate (1%) who makes a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth.’ Julián Castro, the former Obama Cabinet secretary and former mayor of San Antonio, reiterated Friday that his brother published no personal information about the donors, which is publicly available.”
