A coalition of national Latino groups, conservative and liberal, won’t meet with Donald Trump unless he apologizes, even though it has sent him an invitation along with other candidates to discuss policy priorities.
[pullquote]”The conditions were he had to apologize, no media and he’d have to come to D.C.”[/pullquote]Hector Sanchez, president of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, said Tuesday the GOP presidential candidate had tried to meet with the group soon after he declared he was running for president and as businesses began responding to the group’s calls to sever ties with Trump.
But because of the statements Trump had made regarding Mexico – that it was sending rapists and criminals and people bringing drugs – as well as subsequent comments, the NHLA set conditions for a meeting, Sanchez said.
“The conditions were he had to apologize, no media and he’d have to come to D.C.,” Sanchez said. As for the latest invitation that went to all candidates including Trump, Sanchez said “he will have to meet our conditions because of all the hate and rhetoric.”
