Clinton underperformed among Hispanics in Nevada as entrance polls had her losing the Latino vote to Sanders. Huerta campaigned for Clinton and Nevada and slammed Sanders for his opposition to amnesty legislation ahead of Saturday’s vote.
“I like Bernie. He’s a nice guy. I have no doubt he means well. Latinos matter in this election, and he knows it. But my question for Bernie is, where the heck was he for the last 25 years? Where was he on immigration reform? On indefinite detentions? On vigilante justice against undocumented workers? He was nowhere. That’s where,” she wrote in a Medium post.
