RNC's Head of Hispanic Relations Quits for Some Reason

Ruth Guerra, the Republican National Committee’s Director of Hispanic Media, will resign from her position later this month, The New York Times reports.

According to RNC aides, Guerra previously told coworkers she was uncomfortable working for Donald Trump. Last Friday, Trump called Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing the lawsuit against Trump University, a “hater” and “Mexican, which is great.” Curiel was born in Indiana.

When reached by the Times, Guerra declined to offer her personal opinion of the Republican nominee.

Shortly after news of Guerra’s departure broke, the RNC issued a press release naming Helen Aguirre Ferré as the organization’s new Director of Hispanic Communications.

“I am proud to be joining the RNC at such a critical time,” said Ferré in a statement. “I’m eager to make the case to the Hispanic community why Republican ideas and values are the way forward for our country.”
