According to Breitbart’s Charlier Spiering, Sanders wasted no time making her presence felt as she announced a “ban of word ‘Latinx’ in Arkansas government affairs.”

“Ethnically insensitive and pejorative language has no place in official government documents or government employee titles,” Sanders reportedly said of the move.
