Castro flip-flops

-

Goya Foods is a minorityow­ned business that specialize­s in Hispanic foods and was started and is still owned by a Hispanic family.

Former San Antonio Mayor and HUD Secretary Julián Castro has long bragged that he supports minority businesses, but now he wants to boycott one just because the CEO praised President Donald Trump.

Castro cannot really be for minority business if he wants to bring one down just because its CEO disagrees with his opinions. able to fend off disease.

Children have health issues just as adults do — lung disease, cancer, immunodefi­ciency, prematurit­y — and not all have their genes neatly arranged to fit his idea of how they should fight off infection. Kids are fabulous at transmitti­ng all kinds of viruses, and I doubt COVID-19 will turn out to be the exception.

Cornyn does children and all his constituen­ts a grave disservice by talking this way. Sending kids back to school too soon and in a poorly planned way puts them, their teachers, their extended families and their health care providers at unnecessar­y, and potentiall­y devastatin­g, risk.

President Donald Trump has called this U.S. intelligen­ce another hoax, while Senate Republican­s sit on more than 300 bills that would protect Americans in many areas such as cybersecur­ity.

Meanwhile, Florida, Arizona and Texas have record-breaking coronaviru­s numbers and Trump wants to send our children back to school next month. These states have 10 to 20 percent positive test rates. Dr. Anthony Fauci and other health experts state it’s too risky until the virus is controlled.

Now, should we listen to scientists like Fauci? Or Trump, who has made 20,000 false or misleading statements in three years?

Many of us worry, who is really protecting us today?
