Jorge Ramos Says It’s Time for Latina President, Says AOC Is “Fearless”


501 views

It really shouldn’t matter what color the President’s skin is.

In a democracy, citizens should vote for the most qualified candidate.

Not the case though in journalist Jorge Ramos’s view!

He says the next President shouldn’t just be Hispanic, but a Hispanic woman.

And who does he have in mind for a candidate?

None other than socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!

Newbusters provides the translation for Ramos’s original interview with El Pais:

Ramos sat down with El País for a broad interview which, in addition to some of his usual tropes (such as the demonization of Hispanic conservatives), closes out by reaffirming his singular devotion to the cult of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

RODRIGUEZ MANTILLA: Do you hope to see a Latino president?

RAMOS: Of course! Not just to see one, but I hope I’m able to cover one as a journalist. There are more Latinos than African-Americans. They’ve already had one. The next giant step would be to see a Latina in the White House.

RODRIGUEZ MANTILLA: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, once she’s old enough to run, after turning 35?

RAMOS: She’s part of the generation that my 31-year-old daughter Paola belongs to.

RODRIGUEZ MANTILLA: How do you define them?

RAMOS: Direct, fearless. They tell it like it is. They don’t wait. They show themselves to be very impatient. They handle cell phones and social media like no one else, and will quickly seize control from those who hold it now. So much so that I hope they’re in even more of a hurry.
