Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Endorses Hillary Clinton At The RNC

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce made an endorsement Wednesday at the Republican National Convention, but it wasn't for any candidate attending the event.

The group's president and CEO, Javier Palomarez, announced it would be endorsing Hillary Clinton in the general election in an interview with CNN.

It's the first time the group has ever endorsed a candidate for president in the general election. It previously endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) and Clinton in the 2016 primaries, according to The Huffington Post.

When asked why the group didn't support Trump even though he is a known businessman, Palomarez said Trump frequently filed for bankruptcy, something he said a president cannot do. He also criticized Trump's attitude toward women and minorities.
