Did anyone even bother to read the articles in Spanish? As a bilingual American, when you read the articles in Spanish, you see that the entire basis of the story reads more like some sort of Hollywood movie plot rather than serious political discussion into politics that is more on par with the level of reporting done at Fox News and regrettably tabloids.

Most importantly, why is there nothing being published about other people’s contributions being returned, or on the Republican’s side, what contributions are being returned and to whom? As a minority, and American citizen, race in this context as well as automatically citing sources that state that someone is a “gangster” or “drug lord” seem to fall much too easily to the stereotype that minorities, particularly Hispanics and African American are all “gangsters” and “drug lords.”

I have lost respect for the NYTimes as well as most major news outlets for citing the original article as not only a source of information but being so willing to publish it as “news.”
