Fort Worth: Mom shocked by poll worker's migrant "trail" remark to son
The real surprise is that the mother is a Republican. How much you want to bet after her 'kick in the stomach' she recovered enough to vote for all the Republicans on the ballot?
But as the mother of three young kids went to perform her civic duty Monday, she was met with some nasty remarks from a paid poll worker at the nearby sub-courthouse.
"I was typing in my access code, and had my son," she said. "This worker looked and said, 'Oh, if he's from Honduras, he should be on the trail!' I was just shocked."
Her toddler, Jerry, had tagged along with mom for fun. The youngster was wearing his favorite Honduran soccer jersey. "He was talking about the migrant caravan," said Stephanie. "I just couldn't believe it. It's almost like getting kicked in the stomach."

has been affecting her personally for her entire life? And that she has to be extremely aware of it?
She's obviously conservative, though, and conservatism is not all about bigotry. When she says she votes for what she believes in, she means it. Studies repeatedly show that principled people vote their principles, not what others think should be their interests.
Btw, although I for sure don't respect Republicans these days, I do at least respect her for having the courage and commitment to register Republican long ago and to vote the way she believes Republicans should, instead of refusing to be involved as so many are.
