Rep. Mayra Flores On CNN: ‘Maybe I’m not the right type of taco’

Last month, Republican Mayra Flores won a special election in Texas and flipped a long-time blue House seat red. Here’s what she had to say at the time:

I am the first Mexican-born American Congresswoman ever elected in congress and I won’t allow the far left to take that away because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

They did try to take it away from her, though. The New York Times, the same paper that gave Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rock star treatment, took a close look at Flores and “the rise of the far-right Latina.” CNN’s only now getting around to it, but Raul A. Reyes has written that Flores is not the “real deal.”

"Our country needs Latinos who reflect their communities, reject conspiracy theories and respect democracy," writes Raul A. Reyes | Opinionhttps://t.co/HiBbAxR7Uo
