http://mediamatters.org/blog/2016/06/01/exodus-minority-staffers-continue-rnc-gop-embraces-trump/210670The head of Hispanic media relations at the Republican National Committee, Ruth Guerra, announced her resignation amid reports that she was uncomfortable working for Mr. Trump. The announcement comes after a week in which presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump repeatedly attacked the ethnic background of a U.S. District Court Judge, and criticized the first Latina governor in U.S. history, Susana Martinez.
Trump has made insulting Hispanics a cornerstone of his presidential bid, including describing Latino immigrants as rapists,claiming that the Mexican government was intentionally sending criminals to the US, suggesting that Jeb Bushs immigration views were shaped by his Mexican born wife, chalking up the beating of a Hispanic man by his supporters as them being passionate, and declaring I love Hispanics by tweeting out a picture of a taco bowl.
Guerras resignation also comes a month after two high ranking African Americans resigned from the RNC. On March 31 NBC News reported that the RNCs Director of African American outreach was leaving which was preceded by the resignation of the RNCs Communications Director of Black Media.
