Guzmán Delivers Spanish-Language Rebuttal to Trump
Elizabeth Guzmán, one of the first Latinas elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, delivered the Spanish-language rebuttal to Donald Trump's SOTU address. Guzmán called out Trump for eliminating DACA and threatening to deport “Dreamers,” ending TPS, and failing Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. “He has demeaned communities of color – launching a mass deportation agenda, and insulting the heritage of anyone who doesn’t look like him. He has imposed a hateful, immoral ban against our Muslim brothers and sisters,” she said. She closed out her remarks with a call for more candidates and leaders with stories similar to hers.
