Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., blamed far-left Democrats for Trump's presidential victory, writing on Tuesday that progressive causes alienated crucial minority voters.
A Democratic congressman from New York recently blamed progressives for President-elect Trump's victory this week, arguing that far-left causes actually disenchant certain voters. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., claimed that his party has 'alienated historic numbers' of minority voters in an X post on Wednesday. Torres, a vocal supporter of Israel, pointed fingers at pro-Palestinian protests as one of the causes – as well as the movement to defend police.
The shift came days after the Trump campaign was criticized for hosting comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a high-profile Oct. 27 rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The comedian made an inflammatory joke about Puerto Rico being a 'floating island of garbage,' prompting an outcry. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., attempted to use Hinchliffe's joke as an opportunity to sway the Latino community shortly after he uttered the remark.
That's just what they think about you,' the congresswoman said during a Twitch stream. 'It's what they think about anyone who makes less money than them. It's what they think about the people who serve them food in a restaurant. It's what they think about the people who, who fold their clothes in a store.'
