Marco Gutierrez: Taco trucks on every corner

On MSNBC Marco Gutierrez, co-founder of Latinos for Trump, says that the Mexican culture is dominant, imposing, and we will have taco trucks on every corner.



"Our culture is a very dominant culture. And it's imposing(?) and it's causing problems. If you don't do something about it you're gonna have taco trucks (on) every corner."

I listened over and over. I wasn't sure at first on the word imposing but I think it's correct. I listened over and over to "taco trucks" and I just can't come up with an alternative to that. It seems like that is what he said. I'm not completely sure what the point he was making was. All I know is that it really sounded bad.

trucks on every corner? If you like tacos all you have to do is walk to the corner. If people wouldn't them they wouldn't be there.

He kept trying to make the point that Mexico has a lot of problems now, that it's not the Mexico of old...but then he brought up taco trucks. LOLWUT

Pretty sure taco trucks aren't going to be the downfall of American civilization.

I would not be surprised to find out that he did not know what point he was trying to make. Maybe he thought Joy Ann Reid was going to let him get away with making his "taco truck" without challenge and when Reid challenged him he did not know how to respond.

So Cal... like I wish there were more taco trucks when I want good, home style, spicy Mexican food to eats. There is some very good, authentic, delicious Mexican dishes to be had at these fancy new food trucks I see around town these days... yummy stuff.

That guy is so self loathing he probably won't even eat a taco.

....because it looked like he wasn't prepared and was very nervous and was just babbling unintelligibly. My wife thought he was drunk.

At least the taco trucks would presumably be owned by small businessmen.

At first, anyway. I'm sure somebody would figure out how to franchise them and make a bundle.
