As Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz was invited to meet New York State Democratic Senator Ruben Diaz Senior, rapper, activist and teleSUR correspondent RodStarz from Rebel Diaz showed up in order to ask them a couple of uncomfortable questions.
“Why are you receiving anti-immigrant candidate into an immigrant community? Why would you receive a candidate who supports climate change doesn't exist? Or are you bringing them in because the communities are being gentrified?” asked Rebel Diaz to Senator Ruban Diaz without receiving any answer.
Diaz and his cameraman were instead escorted out by NYPD, criticizing the journalists who made it inside for “not asking the right questions and not be doing their jobs.”
The residents of the South Bronx are historically immigrant communities, in a country where there is widespread environmental racism, emphasized RodStarz.
