What Exactly Did USHCC President and CEO Javier Palomárez Quit?
You guys remember when we told you about U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Javier Palomárez quitting the president’s diversity council, right? But did he though? Turns out it’s not clear that such a body as the White House National Diversity Council or the President’s National Diversity Coalition has ever existed, or that Palomárez belonged to it if it did. According to Quartz, there is a group called the National Diversity Coalition for Trump (NDC) that was started during the election campaign by Trump supporters of various ethnic minorities. But, according to reports, it has no affiliation with the White House. More to the point, the NDC has rather forcefully denied any association with Palomárez. In a statement on Aug. 15th, it said, “Mr Palomarez was invited to join the Coalition earlier this year but did not accept the invitation and has never been an active member of the Advisor panel.” Huh?? So what did Palomárez quit? See if you can figure it out here.
