The accusations that Hispanic Republicans "want to be White" are disheartening, racist, and untrue, according to Hispanic Republicans.

"Everyone is entitled to vote as they see fit," David Jimenez, a Las Vegas resident, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital at a pro-Trump event in Nevada. "However, it's kind of just racist."

Despite Vice President Kamala Harris still leading former President Trump among Hispanic voters, the gap has narrowed to its smallest point in the past four election cycles. Young men, specifically, have driven the Democratic losses, with 53% of Hispanic men under 50 choosing Trump in Nevada, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today survey released this month.

Last month, MSNBC guest Maria Hinojosa asserted that Latino voters "desire to be White" during a discussion about the voting bloc's shift away from the Democratic Party.

"They want to be with the cool kids," Hinojosa said.

A UCLA professor claimed in an opinion column in Newsweek that Latino Republicans "feel ashamed of their ethnic origins and prefer to identify as White in an ideological sense."

Earlier this month, another journalist on MSNBC claimed that Latinos moving away from Democrats had "internalized racism."

Former Texas congressional candidate Rolando Rodriguez called such remarks "propaganda."

Rodriguez, who comes from a Spanish and Mexican family but proudly added that he was born in the United States, stated that the media and the Democrat Party want to create division based on races.

Lydia Dominguez, a Clark County school board candidate, expressed disappointment over some of the race-related comments made at a pro-Trump event in Las Vegas.

"Our Latino community is full of strength and great work ethic, and we have so much more to contribute to this country. We truly support Trump's vision of making America great again."

In 2016, Jimenez stated that voting for Trump had a "negative connotation" for Hispanics. However, he now believes that the stigma associated with being a Hispanic Trump voter is diminishing eight years later.

"Based on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' actions in this administration, I believe people are more open to considering Donald Trump as a better choice," he stated.
