Hispanic Authority Says Cruz and Rubio "running from their heritage"

Who could be more of an authority on being Hispanic than a Democratic politician?

From Politico:

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are "running from their heritage," says Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), a top-ranking Hispanic lawmaker and the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. 

In an interview with South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison out Monday, Becerra responded to a question about his feelings on how the Republican candidates, particularly the two of Latino heritage, "who have family with immigrants but yet the rhetoric that's coming from them, and their party, what are your thoughts -- again, from the Latino experience -- what are your thoughts, and how do you feel about that type of rhetoric and what's going on on that side?"

So the guy asking the question was a state Democratic Party chairman? Can you say "softball"?

Here comes the swing and hit out of the park:

"Here's the real problem I have with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio: It feels like they're running from their heritage in my book," said Becerra, who led the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in the late 1990s.

Cruz and Rubio, he continued, "don't want to say who they are."

Becerra's reasoning for his accusation is that he "feels like they're running from their heritage in my book". Let me guess: His book is Racism for Dummies.
