Hidalgo, always looking for the limelight, except when it comes to answering questions about her Covid buddy funding
Hidalgo shouldn’t be in office and should be voted out asap. Any kind of office.
She should have stepped down when she took a 12 month mental health vacation
Get rid of Hidalgo! She has brought Houston down. Why didn’t she address the Spanish population right after she made the remarks in English?
she was horrible during COVID and what about those funds that were mishandled under her authority
Most of you boomers refused to wear masks lol 😂
Trafficking
She is such a piss poor person to put in charge of anything important.
The scary part is all the people that voted for her.
She mismanaged the covid money for those of undeserved communities
Perhaps I missed a report or legal document to substantiate your claim. If this assertion is accurate, where is the documentation? National news story, etc...?
@@amandlamedia looks like you’ve got media in your name you should be aware of more information to share with the public.
Since when do judges have police/military style uniforms. From what I recall of the past few years, Hildago thinks a lot of herself and how much power she has.
when you think you are Cesar Chavez and many other countries with dictators.
Vote her out
Such embarrassment from a county judge wanting attention and acting like a whiny high schooler interrupting the mayor in the middle if his speech. She needs to be replaced.
Hidalgo is pitiful. get rid of her
FK HIDALGO
A failed musician with a history of illegals🎯🎯🎯 in his family saying that because she wanted to say it in Spanish? Make it make sense …….that bothered you enough to say something so vulgar and disgusting? Are you the token pendeja pet spokesperson for Maga members 😂😂😂 have several,seats and go sit on your tired accordion
As an American, I find it sickening that people who come to America to live don't bother to learn the language of the country they came to. My neighbor has lived in their house for 12 years and we still can't have a conversation with each other. It's not my duty to learn a foreign language in my own country
Jolanda Jones' entire staff resigned on her. I guess she knows hostility and is the perfect spokesperson for awkward situations.
NOT THE TIME TO LET YOUR POLITICS LOOSE
The tension is all on Lina's side since she is not used to being held accountable for her actions.
Mayor Whitmire was only poking fun at himself instead of the crisis and the people affected.
I know Latinos who are barely fluent in Spanish who would have laughed at what the mayor said.
💯
Hidalgo plays victim well with her whine.
@@MandyMorae and she is all out of cheese 🧀
Totally agree!
I CAN NOT STAND HIDALGO!!! SHE IS CROOKED!!!!!!!
America first
Hidalgo is a joke of an elected official. Change is coming. She needs to learn to respect others.
It’s her race thing
Protocol? Sounds more like entitlement.
Pride comes before a fall she terrible as a judge.
From now on they need to do separate news conferences during disasters…
Hildalgo is dirty and can't be trusted.
Hidalgo has trouble working with anyone, got mad at first responders if they did not tell her what to say, hates law enforcement.
This is English speaking America
Go back to england with that bs
The US is made of a whole lot of races and ethnicities. As for Texas, and Houston specifically, more than half the population speaks Spanish. You know, the fact that Texas used to be Mexico and all. You can't erase history buddy. Good luck on being a racist prick.
You understand the history of your own state, correct?
@@dboone7670 the official language of the United States is English,do you understand?
@@TrueVision856 the United States doesn't have an official language. Do you understand?
Seriously I don’t think you understand, that storm came out of no where no one in Jersey village has power of even cell phone coverage . I’m talking off a generator and fiber optic wifi right now. Need to focus on problems and how to get infrastructure stronger . We’re better than the drama just do what needs to be done ✅
We the people think we can get better sooner than later by dumping Hildago sooner than later.Hildalgo is Harris county’s Joe Biden.
Swiper no swiping our Covid cash!
Both have a very important role and need to iron out their relationship quickly. Mayor Whitmire started strong but talked way too much; on and on like the politician he’s been for years. Lina has been through several storms already and has developed good crisis management skills. Provide key facts and instructions to the public. Be brief.
Lina handled covid horribly, she has the completely wrong attitude, clearly too young to be a judge, she has no real life experience. Also U.S. officials should only be addressing the public with English.
@@Under-Kaoz I bet you consider yourself a Christian, don't you?
@@Under-Kaoz thanks for sharing your perspectives. We clearly disagree, but that’s ok. Take care and be well.
Exactly
She’s horrible whenever there’s a disaster to be frank.
“Mayor, this is a disaster.. this is not the time.” 💅 love. It. 😂
Aren't most Spanish speakers really big on giving grace and respect to elders? Hey I'm not saying everything is on Hidalgo, I'm sure behind the scenes Whitmire has said or done stuff too. There's definitely some bad blood between these two. Watching the whole thing, it's hard to find one person who was "more in the wrong". But I'm going to put it on more on Hidalgo being like granddaughter age to Whitmire that it would be nice to give that grace and respect to a vast elder. I voted for both these people, and I will say that Mayor Whitmire at least praised Hidalgo first, and then she interrupted him to push the Spanish translation. I mean, this isn't 1978, who the hell still watches the evening news on the regular anyway. People today get their updates from phone or social media alerts, and Spanish speakers have apps for that.
They should’ve met before the press conference. They need to build a relationship.
You can’t build a relationship with someone who is insecure and not qualified to do her job, I speak of the inept county judge Hidalgo.
We need a county judge that doesn't know Spanish
Very well said. Spoken neutrally and with a level of professionalism by Ms Jones.
😂
Ok 🤡
Thank you, Rep. Jones for setting the record straight. Whitmire, not Hidalgo, was out of line. He comes into the judges press conference, and tries to makeup his own rules and protocols. Classic case of a lone star good ole boy who refuses to let a young Latina do her job which was to run this press conference.
Send hildago back to Honduras 😢
100% agree! :)
Well, we know now we (Minority)gonna be without power for two weeks now😂💀
I mean I’m a minority and so are some here by me and we have light tf 😂
Huh?
Go hidalgo
She had to protect her Hispanic votes.
The mayor needs to resign ... his ego & entitled attitude is no place during a disaster.
Yeah his ego is the problem…okay
Are you aware that the several issues he has resolved as mayor (that the previous mayor refused to do) were very important. Fire fighters had not been paid for YEARS! The city of houston sent water bills to people for $10,000 and more. They acknowledged their error but still demanded you pay the money. People who owned empty lots got huge water bills. The city acknowledged there was no water service to the lot but still demanded they be paid. The new mayor put a stop to that. The old mayor and the county judge had no problem with that.
260,000 cases of murder, rape, pedophilia etc….were not investigated. The families were told sorry we can’t look into that for you. The new mayor changed that.
Maybe you believe fire fighters shouldn’t be paid, if you own an empty lot you should pay a water bill every month and if your loved one is raped or murdered than no one should investigate that. That you would prefer the type of mayor that has allowed all these things to happen. That is what has been happening in this city before the new mayor put a stop to it.
Apparently you didn't vote for him and want him out he won convincingly get over it
Hidalgo is a child
She's unprofessional. She should have raised her concerns and issues in a meeting behind closed doors. Also something seems wrong with her. Why is she speaking so slowly and off? Like she didn't have her thoughts together before intervening. She basically interrupted based on her emotions which is why she couldn't get her thoughts out.
Yes, im glad she addressed the Spanish speaking as well !!
I couldn't live in texas, especially Houston....i will stay up north
Texas is great! Just stay out of Houston, Austin and Dallas/Ft Worth areas.
Good....stay away!
Yea we don't need more people in houston.stay out.
Didn't know Judge Hidalgo had so many Haters.😢
Glad to see someone working for the people during a time of distress and loss. We need team spirit!, instead for divisive poli-tricks! Judge Hildago has way more experience in this area than the current Mayor. He has 40+ years of political experience, however that doesn't mean he understands the full scope of hurricane and storm preparedness. This is HTX! We can/will come together for the sake of the well being of our entire City and Harris County.
Yeah how could a politician working for over 40 years at a job side by side with people that do all kinds of jobs like disaster relief be trusted.. instead how about a person that’s only 33 years old and made a mess of Covid.
What experience does Hildago have she got caught with the COVID scandal and than mysteriously getting depressed.I am not a doctor but people who have a depression problem don't usually act like she does.
No investigation, no right to speak! The legal process will determine who's innocent or guilty. All else is speculation.
What happened to all the money jj watt raised for the city when he was here"
Gave it to Kingwood
That was rude of her!!!!
ONE GOOD THING - AT LEAST THE PUT UP NICE PHOTOS OF THEM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MAKE THEM LOOK BAD , I LIKE THAT
i THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY , NOT THAT BIG OF DEAL TBH , 10 SECONDS OF TIME ?? WE MOVE ON QUICK ONTO BIZNESS AROUND HERE
This encounter is being made more of this than it was. The mayor obviously did not know protocol. Hildalgo being the incumbent who knows the ropes should not have said that last little snippet. The mayor is definitely not like Turner so Hildalgo probably feels uncomfortable with a new personality as mayor. We should all leave it at that and not make mountains out of mole hills🙏
Exactly, they could've been more good-humored about this small situation.
Hidalgo needs to go!!
3:11 girl we know she is going to translate it just let the mayor finish what he was going to say before she rudely interrupted.
This interview was very well done .. .. citizen of Lancaster , PA ..
I listened because we have 3 Sons and their families living there .. ..
More people in the city was effective by the storm than the county, and English is the national language. Thus it's important for everyone to speak it and or understand it....
Thanks Isiah for ALWAYS keeping it real 🙏 for the "people" we appreciate it and we see it as well
Why hasnt she been deported back to Columbia yet?...
Columbia University?
Remember when a Democratic mayor and a Republican Judge worked together without a hitch? Now we have two Democrats who can't share a microphone. They must do better.
New song coming from those two Democrats ‘where have all the dollars gone’. 18% hike in water bill ‘where have all the dollars gone.’ Metro Buses are shorted on maintenance ‘where have all the dollars gone’. Training for Law enforcement has been short changed ‘where have all the dollars gone’. Why didn’t the Harris County Judge Hildago take action?
She's right.
Just remember, it is their first joint confrence because she took a 12 month mental health vacation
We are in a crisis in this city- this is the result of voting Democrat.
Hidalgo needs to go . I think her med doses are off. She did a lot wrong for public safety and the seriousness of Covid alone .
TBH Judge Hidalgo was very thorough in keeping the public informed. She works very hard. Mayor Whitmire is also doing a great job. Yolanda is very pretty beautiful lady.
I’m new to Texas but why is she even there?
Beeotch thinks she's special.. she's brown, that's it. She's an embezzling crook like the Dem representatives of Texas. Welcome to the greatest state in the country.
Beto mania. People wanted change and just voted down the ballot with Beto at the top. No one knew her.
Exactly, this is not the time to argue about who is better than the other. This is an emergency issue that needs to be fix right away. Us Latinos we face discrimination on anything for the reason that certain race wants to put us down.
Give me a break. Every non-white faces discrimination. Latinos have it best compared to Asians, Indians and Blacks. Latinos are basically like alternate White people and are often accepted as a quasi White person.
Lmao I’m Hispanic and you make sense , nobody “puts “ us down we either put ourselves down or bring ourselves up can’t blame nobody else for our actions , good or bad lol grow up victim
Hidalgo is not running ANY show.... she cannot even hendle the stress of her office and needed a mental health vacation.... she couldnt even run a bath cottectly
Lina 😍🥰🤘
She put him in his Place.
White boy Privilege Checked .
You sound so racist.
Oppressed much punk ?
fck hildago and this come from a messican American
You should put that racist remark in check.If you notice nobody but you got racist
@@thomasreed4667TDR caling a grown as man a whiteboy is not offensive?
@@makthepharack Learn to spell before you try to correct someone.I find it offensive and racist and it was meant that way.
She's a muppet
Dora the explorer go back to Columbia, you have no idea what you are doing
Aww that ain't nothing....but it was public
The judge clearly IS still in need of mental health help.
We all know this is Lina's doing. So much strife all around her. She causes this, not Whitmire. He's actually doing great things.
Not the time to play games !!! Just do your job Mayor !!!!! Do your job stop playing wants be Trump Games
There we go you Trump haters always got to put his name in it.These are 2 Democrats or are you not considering that.
@@thomasreed4667TDR
I don’t Hate him But he should pay me back my Trump U money !!!! But he should be in jail stealing money and sexual assault hasn’t been proven and confessed!!!! You can cry all you like and defend all baby killing liberals you like too
As a tax payer we shouldn’t watch anyone sitting around not doing their jobs. Main reason I didn’t want Jackson Lee, because who’s wants to see a reality show
Agree! 👍
Aren't most Spanish speakers really big on giving grace and respect to elders? Hey I'm not saying everything is on Hidalgo, I'm sure behind the scenes Whitmire has said or done stuff too. There's definitely some bad blood between these two. Watching the whole thing, it's hard to find one person who was "more in the wrong".

Houston, vote better.
If Hidalgo was a black woman?
Floridian here. I know that we have issues here, but this was the worst display of disrespectful behavior I've ever seen! If she's a good representation of how your city is run, God help you all! She seems like a know-it-all.
With the mess going on, this is a topic on this show !!?? Optics ?? We are screwed.
You guys think this is a joke but black politics have destroyed this country, we are falling apart. Hildago has no experience and all attitude. The county is f-ed
Lina needs to get over herself. She's so intimated by Mayor Whitmire because she doesn't know what she's doing
When you do your zoning etc correct going through California to pass etc and zone etc the etc ISD and your subdivision etc they doing something else SMH
THX. U
f/ putting Everything in Perspective !
WE R GOING thru a Disaster & SHAME ON U,MAYOR, DOING UR (EVIL-DEEDs)& pick g.on youngHipanicWoman,MAYOR WHY U DON'T PICK on a MAN ! WHY !
You have serious issues.. First off why are you so “Evil”. If a person applies for a job they should be ready and qualified for said job. The fact that the Judge is a Woman or Hispanic shouldn’t matter nor should that persons age. Yet here you are calling the Mayor out for a small pointed joke while you’re calling him out for “Evil deeds”. Well by your standards that makes you evil, do you see how dumb that is. Grow up and realize even if both of them started yelling at one another that still wouldn’t make them Evil nor do I actually think your evil. The comment about why not pick on a man.. because she’s not a man and the conversation was between these two, again just stupid to yell that. I really hope you realize that despite whose side you’re on this is still not that big of a deal. Shouldn’t have happened in public but over all not the end of the world and not a showing of Evil.
Bureau Land management and federal Land etc SMH some people just think it's a joke about that no bs about our and your lots
The pot stirring BADAZZ.. brother midnight, good evening evening
*What a see you next Tuesday she is.*
People dont have lights and power in houston they wanna people im bigger then you crazy
Yes.
It looks bad.
Should be with Dem look at the development regulations the City of Houston just did wrong no bs about our and your lots
Lina Hidalgo is form Colombia can not even take Care of her own country Colombia 😢. Linda Hidalgo m how did she get hee degree From the flea market 😅😅😅😅😅
It's special zoning etc on a lot of lots no bs and u gotta certain people etc that wanna mess that up SMH California smh shows when they don't understand how to pass zoning and etc with Dem no bs about our and your lots
Lina Hildago needs to be removed. Nothing but trouble and disaster since she's been in her position
cry more
I agree with you Rick
She's always been an arrogant, petulant child. If you can't play well with others--DON'T BE IN POLITICS. That's LITERALLY what it's about--working TOGETHER... for the PEOPLE you REPRESENT.
Life in the MAGA paradise....😂
Grow up!
I love Hidalgo
Lina was in Washington when we had our storm. All he meteorologists had been warning us of severe weather Thursday. Lina chose to go to Washington. Whitmire was here on the streets helping. She chose not to be in Harris County. She'll be voted out.
@@TDLewis3810 I love Lina! Whitmire is an old coot who is corrupt. I have a lot of dirt on him lol. He will run this city in the ground.
SORRY..UR WRONG !
CBS video on Whitmire Saying He Chose to go to a BALL GAME, cause
He DID NOT KNOW HOW TO PREPARE f/a STORM !
I’m in Cypress, one of the hardest hit areas. Still no power. People are suffering and these folks are bickering. Do better.
Have a coworker who lives next door to someone who died in her RV from a fire and these people need to handle business.
U can see whose not and don't understand that no bs about our and your lots
Trump 2024. 🇺🇸🗽🙌🏿🙌🏻🙏🏿😇🤜🏿💥🤛🏻🇺🇸
Looney Lina GFY
In a crisis, there’s no one I trust more than Judge Lina Hidalgo. She’s a proven leader. She was there during Covid. Multiple hurricanes. Day to day emergencies. God bless Judge Hidalgo.
I think a bit of humor could have been brought in, reacting to a little confusion.
Legislative ain't really nothing especially when you can see your real positions and departments and learn that for your self and 🏠 hold about our and your lots think about it
Damm Mexicans in Texas.
Hey now without us Mexicans and Texicans then Texas would not enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, authentic conjunto music and finely manicured lawns.
@LouisCasas we love your cuisine but we don't like you lazy entitled illegal people robbing away our tax dollars to pay for your housing and food.
She’s Colombian dumb ass, your profile is fake 🎯🎯🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 “mijo” , there’d be no damn Texas without Mexicans…you’d have no cowboys, chili , horses, oil from the stolen lands and more when your kind came to already established territories…now look at ya, making fake profiles to keep the rouse of division up …….devils
I'm not Mexican but what you mean there buddy? You got a problem with Mexicans?
Don't be dumb, dude.
