Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, introduced a section of Monday's Democratic National Convention highlighting Latino Democrats in Congress, and after a video she took aim at Donald Trump. Trump has called Mexicans "rapists," she said. "What about my parents, Donald?" Trump is setting a bad example for America's children, she said. "And Donald, let me just say this. America is great." She added that Trump has "been vulgar, and he's been intolerant. Or as we say in Spanish, un sin vergüenza." Then, as Sanchez repeated something she said in the video: "Hilary is badass."
