Rep. Luis Gutierrez

Not sure if it’s obvious or not, but Gutiérrez is backing Hillary Clinton.

Via The Hill:

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) says he doesn’t know whether Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) likes immigrants because he doesn’t hear him advocating on their behalf.

In an interview that will air Tuesday with Larry King on ORA TV’s PolitiKING, Gutiérrez, who is backing Hillary Clinton for president, first failed to remember Sanders’s name before blasting him for not doing enough to push immigration reform.

“We’ve got the socialist, uh I can’t remember his name. Bernie Sanders,” Gutierrez said. “I don’t know if he likes immigrants because he doesn’t seem to talk about immigrants. But sooner or later, he’ll tell us. I hope he likes immigrants. I haven’t heard him say anything. He’s been kind of quiet and silent.

“So I hope that when he sees this program, he sees that there’s a lot of people waiting to hear from him.”

In the interview, Gutiérrez was seeking to draw attention to the efforts of Republicans to roll back President Obama’s executive actions on immigration. A lawsuit challenging Obama’s actions is winding through the courts.
