 [BREITBART] The White House reacted to reports today that it snubbed Latino Representative Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) by turning down his request to travel to Miami on Air Force One for the president's town hall speech.
It's all those diet restrictions. They just can't accommodate them all.
"In this case we were unable to accommodate the Congressman's request," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained to members of the press on Air Force One. "But we typically try to do so when we can."
They can't keep tacos fresh in the First Refrigerator...
Earnest referred to the White House "standard practice" to invite the member of congress from the district when traveling to another part of the country. That member was Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), a representative of a district including Miami Gardens, a suburb of Miami.
All Latinos eat that sort of stuff, y'know?
Curbelo was invited to the event, according to the Miami Herald, but could not attend.
...and then they drink too much tequila and get drunk and do hat dances, and how much space for that is to be found on The First Airplane?...
"They said, 'Sorry, there's no space on the plane for you,'" Curbelo told the Miami Herald, referring to the White House.
For that matter, where's the room for those big-assed hats they wear!
The president traditionally takes a few members of Congress any time he travels, and the cabin features seating specifically for their use. Traditionally, the president spends some time in the cabin speaking to members who join him for travel around the country.
He'd have probably wanted to take his wife and his dozen or so kids with him...
According to the White House, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s Latino Democrat Rep. Linda Sanchez, a champion for immigration reform, did get permission to travel with Wilson to Florida for the town hall event.
