The New York Times Goes After Rep. Mayra Flores As 'Far-Right Latina'

On Wednesday, The New York Times published Jennifer Medina's piece on Rep. Mayra Flores, highlighting her as "The Rise of the Far-Right Latina." The piece isn't just as bad as you think it might be, it's worse.

Early on in her piece, Medina wrote:

Representative Mayra Flores became only the second Republican to represent the Rio Grande Valley after she won a special election last month and flipped the congressional seat from blue to red. She also became the first Latina Republican ever sent by Texas to Congress. Her abbreviated term lasts only through the end of the year, and she is seen as a long shot to win re-election to a full one.

But what is most striking is that Ms. Flores won by shunning moderates, embracing the far right and wearing her support for Donald J. Trump on her sleeve — more Marjorie Taylor Greene than Kay Bailey Hutchison.
