He argued that the party's focus on inclusivity has backfired, leading to widespread disenfranchisement among various voter demographics, particularly among Hispanic Americans. Smith highlighted how the assumption that all Hispanic voters would align with open-border policies was a gross miscalculation, demonstrating a disconnect between party leadership and the values of its constituents.
