Those behind this campaign simply cannot accept that a first-generation Latino American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. Senator and serve with honor and distinction. Even worse, they see me as an obstacle in the way of their broader political goals

I get that you have to pretend that you're innocent, but this is the same race-baiting conspiracy bullshit that comes out of the right-wing wackos. Fuck this guy.

Horseshoe theory, while an interesting idea, has not geld up well once political scientists started looking into it.

I get you're joking but it's an idea that needs to die.
