Enriquez Gets Upset at MABA Forum
Hector Enriquez, candidate for HD 75 lost his cool at the Mexican American Bar Association Forum over the weekend according to a couple of eye witnesses.
Witnesses state that Enriquez was upset over the fact that what he thought was a closed Q & A session with the panel was in fact an open session. The MABA forum has always been an open forum but apparently Enriquez wasn't familiar with the way it works.
Witnesses say that he expressed concern over the fact that Getsemani Yanez was in the room. Yanez was at one point, in talks with Enriquez to be his campaign manager but it fell through. Yanez wife, Diana Ramirez ultimately became the campaign manager for Mary Gonzalez. Gonzalez was not in attendance for the MABA endorsement but Ramirez was there in her stead.
I'm told that Ramirez made a reference to Enriquez's picture of himself and President George Bush that he was passing out on his campaign material on the day of his campaign announcement. Enriquez tried to down play that particular event according to attendees.
It apparently took a fair amount of smoothing over from the MABA leadership in order to even get Enriquez to come back in the room and participate in the forum.
Yanez and Ramirez went to shake hands with Enriquez and witnesses say that there was still some smack talking going back and forth as they all made their way in to an elevator.
Gotta love campaign season...
