The unrequested food deliveries were meant to highlight the visit to Capitol Hill by Donald Trump, who last week Tweeted a picture of himself eating a taco bowl as his celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
America's Voice, Latino Victory Project, United We Dream and United Farm Workers sent the bowls to GOP Sens. Richard Burr (N.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Pat Toomey (Penn.), John McCain (Ariz.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mark Kirk (Ill.), all of whom face reelection races in the fall.They were also sent to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Majority Whip John Cornyn (Texas) and Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Cory Gardner (Colo.) and Roger Wicker (Miss).
On the House side, the taco bowls went to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Reps. Joe Heck (Nev.), David Valadao (Calif.), Jeff Denham (Calif.), and Mike Coffman (Colo.).
A spokeswoman for the liberal Hispanic groups called the stunt "a fitting reminder of Trump’s recent (and egregious) hispandering."
Trump's Cinco de Mayo post set off a huge social media debate over everything from the Mexican authenticity of the bowl to Trump's caption, which included the phrase "I love Hispanics!"
