Statement by Dr. Ada Cuellar on Monica De La Cruz Failure to Stand Up to Trump's Racist Post on the Obamas and Divisive Prayer Breakfast Speech
ALAMO, TX - "Monica De La Cruz posted a photo of Donald Trump this week and wrote that she looked forward to the Prayer Breakfast and called it a moment of unity and reflection. But Trump's speech included an anti- immigrant rant and what sounded like Trump admitting he never read the Bible. Then he posted an incredibly offensive and racist video referencing the Obamas, and has refused to apologize. De La Cruz has not said a peep. This failure to stand up to Trump's divisive, racist rhetoric is why she must go. De La Cruz is a Trump Puppet who has helped enable Trump's extreme agenda including their indiscriminate targeting of Latino communities. If she can't call out the president's racist post on the Obamas and his jarring remarks at the Prayer Breakfast, she needs to be fired by the voters in November. "
