Texas Pastor Ramiro Peña has been one of Donald Trump’s most prominent Hispanic evangelical supporters and advisors since the 2016 presidential campaign.

However, the nation’s top broadcast television networks, in English and Spanish, have consistently ignored Pastor Peña and his significant role advising the President, including during the current crisis over U.S. border security.

The deliberate suppression of Pastor Peña’s views, which are shared by tens of millions of people throughout the country, was especially glaring when President Trump recently visited South Texas.

When you hear what Pastor Peña had to say to the President, including validating his “heart of compassion” and determination to bring an end to the scourge of human suffering that comes with illegal immigration, it is no wonder that most of the media chose to avoid airing his views, as they just didn't fit within - and in fact were diametrically opposed to - their preferred narrative and spin on the subject.

Thankfully, the Pastor’s remarks were recorded and MRC Latino presents his exchange with the President below as a public service.
