Summary

Victor Davis Hanson breaks this down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Rasmussen Polls—who have been very accurate, they were in the 2024 election and they are now—they surveyed the first 100 days of the Trump administration. … Sixty-two percent of those who were surveyed that were Hispanic expressed approval. African Americans were about 39%. And Hispanics were higher than whites. “ The elite in politics and celebrities are using this idea of white, white, white, white in a prejudicial manner.
