Comedian Paul Rodriguez is a pretty rare bird: A minority celebrity who also happens to be an unapologetic Republican. TMZ caught up with him recently, and he explained where he currently stands on Donald Trump, specifically with regard to immigration policy:

He acknowledges that Trump’s delivery leaves quite a bit to be desired, but he also acknowledges that illegal immigration is an issue that needs to be addressed — and he manages to do it without screaming or name-calling.
Common sense approach. #weird

Indeed. But not everyone’s happy about it:

He's a "closet Republican" who will "take the heat". Lmfao. He's been publicly endorsing Republicans for over 10 years. Most people probably don't know that because he's been a washed up has-been for over 20 years and no one has been paying any attention to him.

Playing the race traitor card is always a good look.
Fortunately, Rodriguez doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who will let that crap get under his skin.
Common sense approach. #weird
