Texas governor: GOP needs ‘tone of respect’ toward Hispanics
By Reid Wilson - 02/26/18 02:53 PM EST

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) says the Republican Party can win over Hispanic voters, even on immigration enforcement, if only they would approach the country’s fastest-growing minority group with a tone that differs from President Trump’s.

In an interview Sunday, Abbott said his reelection campaign is focusing heavily on building inroads to the Hispanic community in Texas. Abbott, who scored 44 percent of the vote among Hispanic voters in 2014, is heading back to the Hispanic- and Democratic-heavy Rio Grande Valley in the coming days.

“One thing that we know in Texas is that tone matters,” Abbott said. “Everybody deserves to be respected, and I think that the same goals that the president is seeking to achieve can be achieved with a tone of respect and dignity. There’s a righteousness in the cause of safety and security for our country that can be achieved by using the right tone.”
