As one of the first outlets to warn people of the amateur hour team that is the Latinos for Trump “movement,” it comes as no surprise to us (at all) that Marco Gutierrez, one of the group’s leading voices, choked big time on national television Thursday night when he tried to explain that Latin American immigrants are making the United States less American and it must be stopped because if it is not, we will have “taco trucks on every corner.”

Here is the FULL segment from MSNBC. (You can catch the brief “taco trucks” here.)

We are playing the full segment because Gutierrez wasn’t accurate at all in his sharing of data regarding Latino voters. We think he was quoting part of a Pew poll, but Joy Reid is right: when it comes to polling Latino voters, Trump is no way near close to 40%.

Because in the end, even with Trump’s immigration speech this week and a high-profile visit to Mexico, all you need to do is read #MoreTacoTrucks and #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner:

Latinos for Trump just gave the Trump campaign another unnecessary headache.
