Texas congressman Filemon Vela went to his Facebook page to post this statement concerning his boycott of the unpopular inauguration.
Rep. Vela has tangled with Donald Trump and his brand of anti-Latino, anti-Spanish-speaking immigrant before, when Vela wrote: ”Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass.”
Donald Trump has made it clear that his first scapegoats for the failures of income inequality and white supremacy are Spanish-speaking people, Islamic people, and black people asking for equal rights. If you aren’t white and protestant, you are an undesirable. Don’t worry though, Trump and his cronies hate poor white people too—they just haven’t been as verbally open about it yet.
