You Can’t Sit With Us: Democrats in Congress Refuse to Let Republican Join Hispanic Caucus

The all-Democratic Congressional Hispanic Caucus rejected Republican Representative*Carlos Curbelo’s membership bid on Thursday, setting off a bitter debate over discrimination, bigotry and values.

“Today the @HispanicCaucus formally adopted a policy of discriminating against fellow Hispanics,” Curbelo wrote on Twitter following the vote. “Independents & Republicans need not apply. Only registered Democrats count. Shameful and deplorable.”
