RNC Takes Down Latino Outreach Site

The RNC has taken down its Latino outreach site, RNCLatinos.com, instead redirecting to a volunteer sign up page on the RNC’s main website. The barebones RNCLatinos.com had been plagued by a series of embarassing missteps that the GOP blamed on the “outside vendor” who crafted it. They included the use of a picture of Asian children for the site’s banner image, a poll asking users whether they were disappointed in President Obama (they responded they weren’t), a blog page dominated by spam for handbags and headphones, and a “Who Are We?” section left entirely blank. On Thursday night, the RNC took down portions of the site, including its banner and blog section, but the entire page was down as of Friday morning.
