Senators Rick Scott, Marco Rubio Hold Round Table To Protest Sale Of Conservative Spanish Radio Stat

South Florida’s Republican leaders are saying they fear a source of conservative voices could be lost with the impending sale of Radio Mambí.

“We have to make sure that there are always voices. That there is the opportunity always exists for voices that have a contrary point of view and a belief in conservativism,” said Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.

Rubio was joined by Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Carlos Gimenez, and other local Republicans to denounce what they believe is a take over of Cuban radio by Democrats.

“This is not a business transaction. They want to have a better product and put it out there. This is a effort to try and win elections,’ said Republican Senator Rick Scott.
The potential new owners told Local 10 News, that isn’t the case.

This is probably about half the reason there are the brainwashed out there who vote repub.

The RW has been taking over Spanish speaking radio stations for several years now and this is more than likely one of the chief reasons that there has been a shift of the Hispanic population to the right.

Now when progressives try to balance the tables, they cry foul.

Typical.

That saturating the airwaves with political talking points is effective. They only complain when they know it is going to cost them votes.
