NC GOP Senate candidate: Blacks, Hispanics overtaking ‘traditional population’

Republican U.S. Senate candidate from North Carolina Thom Tillis complained in 2012 that the “traditional” population in his state was not growing, unlike African-American and Hispanic populations.

During a 2012 interview that was uncovered by Talking Points Memo this week, Carolina Business Review host Chris William asked Tillis why Hispanics that voted for President George W. Bush were not supporting then-nominee Mitt Romney.

Tillis argued that the change was less about the GOP message, and more about shifting demographics in the United States.

Tillis campaign Communications Director Daniel Keylin told TPM that “traditional” meant “North Carolinians who have been here for a few generations.”

In the Republican dictionary under 'traditional population' it says white people.
