Democrats parked a taco truck that also registers voters outside a Trump campaign office

Victoria Brownworth ?@VABVOX
This!!! Democrats have parked a taco truck that also registers voters outside a Trump campaign office in Colorado

Eric English @EricEnglish777
...and in other news, #Denver democrat city councilman Lopez calls in a taco truck to set up across from #Trump HQ..

Colorado Democrats are setting up a taco truck outside of Donald Trump’s campaign office in Denver to register voters after a Trump surrogate said that more Mexicans moving to the United States would lead to “taco trucks on every corner.”

“My culture is a very dominant culture. It’s imposing and it’s causing problems. If you don’t do something about it, you’re going to have taco trucks on every corner,” Marco Gutierrez, the cofounder of Latinos for Trump, said of Mexicans in the United States.

The remark, which was widely mocked, has ended up as fodder for Democratic attacks. The Colorado Democrats’ truck is scheduled to set up on Friday afternoon and register voters “eat lunch, talk with passer-bys about the stakes in this election,” according to a statement.

The Denver taco truck is not the only trolling the Democrats have done. The Arizona Democratic Party has changed its sign to say “Taco Trucks On Every Corner.”



YvonneWingettSanchez @yvonnewingett
@AZDemParty updated its sign, y'all.

...I think that's due to compression / resizing the pic. She's got more wrinkles than that pic shows. But I like them. I tell my mom her wrinkles are "blooms."

It's still a really nice pic, need to find the original.

I have been a political junkie since the Kennedy Nixon campaign. My mom was a volunteer for the Kennedy campaign and would take me along to help out. I was 13 years old. Since then I have stayed active.
But this campaign is beginning to look like Net Flix series.

#TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner - #TacoTrucks - #TacosForAll - Tacos are trending everywhere.

Every time I post more new taco memes, they reappear as a new thread.
Are tacos learning to replicate by themselves. Do they control the people who eat them? Are Taco Overlords the real threat?

any all food south of the "Border" for the victory celebrations, "while we go into "vote".

In Fact lets...........

Expand this to all ethic and cultural food that this hypocrite has disparaged and lets add to that the entire "republican leadership from state houses all the way up to the Congressional races. No matter what they try to say or do, they cannot distance themselves from this hypocrite, and we can not let they distance themselves, they got this "guy" and for forty years this has been the culmination of this white nationalist racists movement, along with the enablers of the "Dark Money", that has been feeding this hypocrisy under the disguise of 501(c) 3 .
