MSNBC Contrib Says Hispanic Support For Trump Is ‘Alarming’ Because He’s ‘Promising Mass Deportations’

MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos on Monday expressed alarm over former President Donald Trump’s significant support among Hispanic voters because of his pledge to conduct mass deportations if reelected.

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading Trump 54% to 40% among Hispanic voters, according to a national NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC poll conducted from Sept. 16-23. Ramos’ segment on “Ana Cabrera Reports” followed MSNBC national political correspondent Steve Kornacki breaking down the polling and two Hispanic women in Nevada tellingMSNBC national correspondent David Noriega they appreciated Trump’s handling of the economy during his presidency.

“Look, I think the Democrats are seeing these numbers, the tendency’s to say that they’re winning the Latino vote, right? That’s the story. But I do think the alarming part of everything that we just heard is that someone like Donald Trump, that is promising mass deportations, can even poll close to 40%,” Ramos said. “And so the way to explain some of the things we just heard is that Trump is really, really tapping into this economic grievance, or this racial and ethnic grievance that a lot of Latinos are feeling, particularly men, and I think that’s part of the appeal.”
