Dem in major Senate race accused of 'pandering' to Black voters by supporting reparationsThe Democrat running in what could be one of this year's top Senate races is being accused of "pandering" to Black voters with taxpayer-funded reparations.
The conservative Win it Back PAC announced Friday its launch of a new ad, part of a massive seven-figure media buy, targeting Rep. Colin Allred, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, specifically calling him out for what it says are his ties to the movement for reparations for Black Americans.
The ad will begin running Friday in the El Paso media market amid the Texas Democratic Convention, which is taking place in the city and will target Hispanic voters, a group research shows is largely opposed to reparations. The ad will run in both English and Spanish.
My grandparents came in the sixties in search of the American Dream. They were farmworkers. My grandma would always say, ‘con tanto sacrificio,’" a Hispanic woman named Sonia says in the ad, citing a Spanish phrase meaning "with much sacrifice."
"Like, nobody gave me this, and nobody is going to take it away. Colin Allred would take our tax dollars to pay for reparations. I'm not okay with it — to take away from one group to pander to another group. I grew up poor, and I've worked really hard, and I don't feel like it's fair for me to have to pay for that. It's all pandering. Collin Allred is not fighting for us," she adds.
A majority of Hispanic voters (58%) say they do not support repaying the descendants of slaves in America with cash or land, according to a 2022 study published by the Pew Research Center...............
