Tudor Dixon and Shane Hernández Kickoff Bus Tour in Mexicantown

Tudor Dixon and Shane Hernández kicked off a bus tour campaign for governor and lieutenant governor of Michigan with a rally at Armando’s Mexican Restaurant in Southwest Detroit on Saturday, October 29, 2022. They were joined by former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. 

Members of the press were referred to Dixon’s websites for questions about issues relevant to Detroit and the Hispanic community. 

Dixon’s campaign and fundraising websites proudly proclaim endorsements from what is generally known as the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. These include former president, Donald Trump, acknowledged head of the Republican Party, Kari Lake, MAGA candidate for governor or Arizona, and FOX News anchors, Carlson Tucker and Jesse Waters. 

Dixon and Hernández said their primary goal was to make sure that Gretchen Whitmer never serves another term of office. They said Whitmer’s concern for saving lives during the COVID-19 pandemic caused 3,000 businesses to close and children to miss two years of school. They also claim that Whitmer is responsible for high gas prices by shutting down Line 5 an oil pipeline that has proven to be danger to the environment. [Fact check: Line 5 is currently still open.] 

Dixon and Hernández promise to slash government regulation of businesses to make them profitable again.

Education is a major issue for Dixon and Hernandez. They blamed Whitmer for supporting teachers instead of the children. According to Dixon, Whitmer is telling children to lie to their parents if they feel they have an alternate identity. Dixon will make every teacher place their syllabus and readings on a public website. Dixon stated that Whitmer should get over the plot to kidnap and execute her by convicted domestic terrorists. She does not deserve physical protection because she has done nothing about the mass shooting in Oxford, Michigan. 

Hernández said he convinced his father, Sal, to convert from a Democrat to a Republican 20 years ago. He asked the crowd to find the Sal Hernandezes in their lives and convert them too. He was seconded in his call by Tulsi Gabbard, former GOP candidate for president, who flew in from Hawaii to support Dixon. 

The crowd in the patio area of Armando’s was majority white with a sprinkling of Hispanics and fewer African Americans. 

Local Hispanics participated in the opening program including Pastor Kevin Casillas who led the prayer, Carolyn Suero who recited the pledge of allegiance and Ken Gutierrez who sang the national anthem.

Tudor Dixon y Shane Hernández iniciaron un recorrido de campaña, como candidatos para gobernadora y vicegobernador de Michigan, el sábado 29 de octubre de 2022 con un mitin en Armando’s Mexican Restaurant en el suroeste de Detroit, a quienes se les unió la excongresista Tulsi Gabbard. 

Los miembros de la prensa fueron remitidos a los sitios web de Dixon para realizar preguntas sobre los temas relevantes en Detroit y la comunidad hispana. 

Los sitios web de campaña y recaudación de fondos de Dixon proclaman con orgullo el respaldo de lo que generalmente se conoce como la ideología MAGA (Make America Great Again /Hagamos a EEUU grande otra vez) del Partido Republicano. Estos incluyen al ex presidente, Donald Trump, líder reconocido del Partido Republicano, Kari Lake, candidata a gobernadora del MAGA de Arizona, y los presentadores de FOX News, Carlson Tucker y Jesse Waters. 

Dixon y Hernández dijeron que su objetivo principal era asegurarse de que la gobernadora Gretchen Whitmer nunca vuelva a ganar otro mandato. Afirmaron que la preocupación de ella por salvar vidas durante la pandemia de COVID-19 provocó el cierre de 3.000 negocios y que los niños faltaran dos años a la escuela. También afirmaron que Whitmer es la responsable de los altos precios de la gasolina debido a que cerró la Línea 5, un oleoducto que ha demostrado ser un peligro para el medio ambiente. (Verificación de hechos: la línea 5 todavía está abierta.) 

Dixon y Hernández prometieron reducir drásticamente la regulación gubernamental de las empresas para que vuelvan a ser rentables. 

La educación es un tema importante para Dixon y Hernández. Culparon a Whitmer por apoyar a los maestros en lugar de a los niños. Según Dixon, Whitmer les está diciendo a los niños que les mientan a sus padres si sienten que tienen una identidad de género alternativa. Dixon hará que cada maestro coloque su programa de estudios y lectura en un sitio web público. 

Dixon declaró que “Whitmer debería superar ya el complot que se llevó a cabo para secuestrarla y ejecutarla, por parte de terroristas domésticos convictos. Ella no merece protección física porque no ha hecho nada por el tiroteo masivo en la escuela de Oxford, Michigan.” 

Hernández dijo que convenció a su padre, Sal, de convertirse de demócrata a republicano hace 20 años. Le pidió a la multitud que encontraran a los Sal Hernández en sus vidas y los convirtieran también. Fue secundado en su llamado por Tulsi Gabbard, ex candidata republicana a la presidencia, quien voló desde Hawái para apoyar a Dixon. 

La multitud en el área del patio de Armando’s era mayoritariamente blanca con una pizca de hispanos y algunos afroamericanos. 

Los hispanos locales participaron en el programa de apertura, incluido el pastor Kevin Casillas, quien dirigió la oración, Carolyn Suero, quien recitó el juramento a la bandera y Ken Gutiérrez, quien cantó el himno nacional.
