Former Telemundo anchor María Celeste Arrarás openly lobbied to join Charlie Crist as his running mate in a cringe-inducing interview aired on Telemundo 51 Miami. However, the interview ended when she said that Cuban cuisine ingrained the sufferings of Cubans into her DNA.
Watch Arrarás spew that cringe just days after First Lady Dr. Jill Biden compared Hispanics to tacos:
MARILYS LLANOS – Any Democratic candidate who emerges from the race is linked to socialist policies
MARÍA CELESTE ARRARÁS: Yes- that is so unfortunate.
LLANOS: Left-wing politics
ARRARÁS: That is so- that is so unfortunate and is such an erroneous concept. Since I have been a Democrat since childhood. I don´t talk about this when I talk to journalists, but I´ve always been. I´ll say again – I´m very particular and very discreet with regard to that. But for someone to come up to me and say – Hey, you´re a Democrat, a socialist, a communist, I tell them: “Listen to me. How little you know me.” In other words, I´ve been married to a Cuban. Cubans were my family growing up. The Cuban language is very familiar to me. For years, I sat down at the table of my best friends´ homes so they could make for me the rice and beans with vaca fritaTalking about the sufferings of those in Cuba. I´ve got that ingrained into my DNA.
Most interesting, besides the cringe remarks over Cuban food, is Arrarás’ admission that she has always been a Democrat. This is no surprise to those of us who have had to cover Arrarás.
Prior to being fired from Telemundo, Arrarás was a frequent source of content for MRC Latino. Arrarás was best known for Drop editorials in random storiesIn GOP presidential debates, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were lambasted We are not going to pander to the Hispanic population on immigrationAnd Hillary Clinton can be thrown softballs
Now, Arrarás wants Floridians to forget she was elite liberal media, and gaslights them into thinking she’s one of them- albeit with tales of vaca frita that embedded the horrors of communism into her DNA.
We will always remember.
Press on “Expand” to view the complete transcript of the interview as aired on Telemundo 51 Miami on Friday, July 15th, 2022:
MARILYS LLANOS – Her life has always been filled with action and cameras. Her self-description is that she’s an objective journalist.
MARIA CELESTE ARRARÁS: I always try to be very objective. As they say in Puerto Rico, I add fuel to anyone with a straw tail.
LLANOS: Now Maria Celeste Arrarás has seen her name included in a list of possible running mates if Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist wins the nomination this coming August.
ARRARÁS: I have good friends in common, they approached me to have breakfast with him, where he wanted to meet me as, no, we are not talking about any of this, simply how the Puerto Rican community is going, me as a journalist, how I see things. You and I both are discussing all of those issues. It has nothing to do with the lieutenant governor. The conversation was positive and he seemed to be impressed with my passion. The second was that I knew a lot about Florida politics, as I am a journalist and live in Florida. He didn’t inform me of it, though I believe that it did. The list appeared and I was shocked. Although they had implied to me that it was something and that they considered me for it, I wasn’t interested in it as it wasn’t an official conversation. When the list was displayed, and I learned about it through you, I replied, “Send to me, please,” as you had seen it that day before me. Like I’ve stated many times, I don’t have an agenda. I also have nothing to hide. Telemundo was my home and my friend always.
LLANOS : It isn’t surprising that the journalist revealed that she had been invited previously to join the political realm.
ARRARÁS: Since I was on TV many years ago, I’ve been approached. I was made a stronger one by them a few months ago. This has nothing to do. At that time, I was thinking about it. But I decided not to do it. I will tell you why. Unfortunately, the community was not yet active enough to register for voting. And then, no matter what I do in my industry or department, it’s always to win. I won’t do it just to get to the wall.
MARILYS LLANOS – Any Democratic candidate who emerges from the race is linked to socialist policies
MARÍA CELESTE ARRARÁS: Yes- that is so unfortunate.
LLANOS: Left-leaning politics
ARRARÁS: That is so- that is so unfortunate and is such an erroneous concept. Since I have been a Democrat since childhood. I don´t talk about this when I talk to journalists, but I´ve always been. I´ll say again – I´m very particular and very discreet with regard to that. But for someone to come up to me and say – Hey, you´re a Democrat, a socialist, a communist, I tell them: “Listen to me. How little you know me.” In other words, I´ve been married to a Cuban. Cubans were my family growing up. The Cuban language is very familiar to me. For years, I sat down at the table of my best friends´ homes so they could make for me the rice and beans with vaca fritaTalking about the sufferings of those in Cuba. I´ve got that ingrained into my DNA.
LLANOS: María Celeste Arrarás’ next appearance could happen after August 23 and in case, if Democratic candidate Charlie Chris wins his party’s nomination and chooses her as his running mate. But at this moment already, as a good journalist, María Celeste Arrarás has a political discourse. Let’s get back to you.
