[Breitbart] A Democrat Texas congressman told Donald Trump to take the border wall and "shove it up your ass."
"Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," Congressman Filemon Vela (D-TX) wrote in an open letter to Mr. Trump Monday morning. The comment comes at the end of a lengthy litany of complaints against the presumptive GOP nominee written from his campaign office obtained by Breitbart Texas and attached below.
Filemon represents the southeastern most district of Texas that includes the border community of Brownsville, just across the river from Matamoros, Mexico, the scene of a violent civil war between members of the Gulf Cartel fighting for control of the region. Breitbart Texas has reported extensively about the violence in this area.
A spokesman for the Vela campaign told Breitbart Texas, "We are getting a lot of interest about ’The Letter.'"
He begins the letter with areas where he agrees with Trump ‐ Veterans issues, cartel violence and corruption in the Mexican government, and criminal illegal alien felons who "should be immediately deported." He says there are even other areas upon which he would agree.
However, your ignorant anti-immigrant opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable.
The letter, written in English and Spanish, delves into the history of Americans of Mexican descent and says Trump mistakenly refers to them as "Mexicans." He says many of them have valiantly served the United States in every conflict since the Civil War. He then goes on to list some Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients. |
