Sunday, November 10, 2024 - The owner of a Hispanic radio station in Pennsylvania, USA has claimed that Latino men didn’t vote for US Vice President Kamala Harris because they have a “mentality” that says a “woman belongs in the kitchen.”
Victor Martinez, who also hosts a show on his La Mega
station in Allentown, told MSNBC that Latino men “wouldn’t want a woman
president” — which is why they voted in droves for the eventual winner,
President-elect Donald Trump.
“The man, he’s the one, the
provider. And we’re the boss, and we still, unfortunately, have a lot of
Latinos with that mentality where the woman belongs in the kitchen,” Martine
said during an interview with anchor Nicolle Wallace.
But Hispanic men in the key swing state, which was pivotal
in Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, said the economy was the deciding factor in
them switching over to Trump this time around.
“Prices went up, food went up, everything went up,” Miguel Garcia, who lives in North Philadelphia, told CBS News.
Exit polling by both NBC News and CBS News showed that
Harris notched around 55% of the Hispanic vote in Pennsylvania, compared to
roughly 45% for Trump — about a 15 percentage-point jump from how the former
president fared in the state in 2020.
Also exit polling of nationwide results showed Trump
received 54% support from Hispanic men compared with 44% for Harris.
“It was the Latino men who
decided that they were going to vote for Donald Trump. And I will dare to say
that it’s the Latino man who wouldn’t want a woman president,” Martinez said.
Trump also scored a shocking victory in a Hispanic-majority
Texas district that has voted for Democrats for more than a century winning
Starr County with more than 57% of the vote.
