The LBA repudiated the real estate mogul more than a year ago by cancelling plans to hold its biennial gala at the Trump National Doral golf resort because of his “recent pattern of bigoted, sexist and ignorant verbal assaults on immigrants, women and veterans.”
Still, the forthcoming announcement by the non-partisan group is notable because of its close ties to the Republican political establishment for decades.
In a statement, the group praised Mrs. Clinton’s temperament, “sound judgement,” knowledge and “ability to bring people together, regardless of party affiliation.”
“It is clear that, in this election, the candidate whose values best align with the LBA and who possesses these important qualities is Hillary Clinton,” the group said.
The LBA was mostly founded by Cuban exiles fleeing repression in the late 1960s who encountered hostility and discrimination from the mostly white community in South Florida. Now, the organization is made up of many of the early members’ children and grandchildren, who are less attached to the GOP’s traditionally hardline position toward Cuba.
Ana Navarro makes sure no one forgets all the contractors Trump has stiffed, many of whom were Latinos.
