Hispanic male voters shunned Kamala Harris because they think ‘a woman belongs in the kitchen’: radio host

The owner of a Hispanic radio station in Pennsylvania claimed that Latino men didn’t vote for Vice President Kamala Harris because they have a “mentality” that says a “woman belongs in the kitchen.”.

Victor Martinez, who also hosts a show on his La Mega station in Allentown, told MSNBC on Wednesday that Latino men “wouldn’t want a woman president” — which is why they voted in droves for the eventual winner, President-elect Donald Trump.

“The man, he’s the one, the provider. And we’re the boss, and we still, unfortunately, have a lot of Latinos with that mentality where the woman belongs in the kitchen,” Martine said during an interview with anchor Nicolle Wallace.

However, many Hispanic men in the key swing state, which was pivotal in Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, said the economy was the deciding factor in them switching over to Trump this time around.

“Prices went up, food went up, everything went up,” Miguel Garcia, who lives in North Philadelphia, told CBS News.

Exit polling by both NBC News and CBS News showed that Harris notched around 55% of the Hispanic vote in Pennsylvania, compared to roughly 45% for Trump — about a 15 percentage point jump from how the former president fared in the state in 2020.

There was no breakdown of the Hispanic vote in the state by gender, but the exit polling jibed with nationwide results that showed Trump received 54% support from Hispanic men compared with 44% for Harris.

Still, Martinez insisted it was a “chauvinist culture” in the Latino community that helped Trump pull off his political comeback.

“It was the Latino men who decided that they were going to vote for Donald Trump. And I will dare to say that it’s the Latino man who wouldn’t want a woman president,” Martinez said.

Trump also scored a shocking victory in a Hispanic-majority Texas district that has voted for Democrats for more than a century — winning Starr County with more than 57% of the vote.

Martinez said he doesn’t expect Latino male attitudes toward women to change.

“As far as these Latino men, I don’t think at any time in the future they will vote for a female president,” he said.

Martinez said that the men who would call into his radio show would swear they couldn’t accept a female leader and that he would push back by citing examples from other countries — to no avail.

“As far as these Latino men, I don’t think at any time in the future they will vote for a female president,” he said.

“I brought you audio of men calling my show and telling me, ‘No, no, no, she won‘t be respected. No, no, no. There is no way she can handle the job.’ And I will argue with them on the air, and I will bring examples of other female powerful leaders in the world, and they seem not to want to hear it,” he said.
