Just four days after President Obama announced his immigration plan, and some two years before the next election, Democrats are telling Hispanics not to trust the crop of conservative 2016 GOP presidential candidates.
Using Obama’s immigration move to suggest that only Democrats care, the Democratic National Committee has issued a Spanish video that concludes, “today’s Republican Party doesn’t stand with us.”
The ad is titled El Partido Republican en el 2016.
