Linda Sanchez Leaves Hispanic Caucus

By: Josephine Hearn and Ryan Grim

Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (D-Calif.) suspended her membership in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Thursday afternoon, citing a need for “structural reforms to ensure that the caucus is more equitable and inclusive of all its members.”

She is the second member of Congress to leave the group this year as lawmakers lobbed charges of chauvinism within the group, mismanagement of the group’s political arm and too great an emphasis on seniority.

Sanchez’s sister, Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) resigned earlier this year after accusing the group’s chairman, Rep. Joe Baca, another California Democrat, of referring to her as a “whore” during a meeting in California.

Democratic politicians lose a soapbox with Imus

His show gave many of them a way to reach a national audience of white males -- a crucial voting bloc.


Guess there's always Howard Stern.
