“I’m not a socialist. I’m not a communist”: Rep. Karen Bass, a potential Joe Biden running mate, urges Cuban American voters Monday to “not believe the lies” on her record. - NBCLatino
Rep. Karen Bass, the five-term California congresswoman and potential Joe Biden running mate, urged Cuban American voters Monday to “not believe the lies” of Republicans.
“I’m not a socialist. I’m not a communist. I’ve belonged to one party my entire life and that’s the Democratic Party and I’m a Christian,” Bass told NBC News.Bass’ history of visits to Cuba. It's an overture to the significant segment of Cuban American and other Latino voters in the swing state of Florida who have backed Republican candidates over their hardline stances against the communist country.
The focus on her Cuba record has diverted attention and headlines from what Bass said is her almost five decades of work with Latinos, first as a community organizer, then in the California Assembly and as a congresswoman representing a Los Angeles district that is 39 percent Latino, 25 percent Black, 25 percent white and 8 percent Asian.
She said the GOP has more material to work with because Bass did accompany President Barack Obama to Cuba when he normalized relations with the country and she traveled to the country several times starting at 19, when she went to build houses. Renteria said that while Florida is key in the race,"what Biden needs is someone who understands how state legislatures work" alongside the federal government, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. Renteria said Bass has this experience as a member and later speaker of the California Assembly, the first African-American woman in that position.
