President Joe Biden’s campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, is reportedly the granddaughter of radical leftist Cesar Chávez. The president installed a bust of the far-left organizer in the Oval Office and trashed a bust of former U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill restored by former President Donald Trump.

Biden’s campaign manager has bragged that her grandfather exposed her to “social justice issues” since she was five years old, “participating in marches, picket lines, and community meetings, as well as other activities and organizing campaigns.”
Chávez Rodriguez helped lead the Cesar E. Chávez E. Foundation following his death. She worked with the now-defunct Mobilize the Immigrant Vote campaign as her father, Arturo Chávez, assumed responsibility for Chávez’s United Farm Workers (UFW) union.
While leading UFW, Chávez portrayed himself as a “community organizer” instead of a labor leader, having governed the union in a totalitarian style. The radical leftist’s ideas were drawn from the inspiration of dictators like Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong and Niccolò Machiavelli, according to the National Pulse.
The National Pulse noted that Chávez’s governance of the union contained an “ethno-nationalist” flavor,” with non-Mexican farm workers believing the UFW favored Mexicans over them, claiming that the radical leftist’s Mexican identity was more significant than the union.
Chávez reportedly organized purges involving his close friends and associates who were ritually humiliated and driven away from the union. The far-left organizer once said, “I got to be the … king, or I’ll leave.”
Toward the end of his life, Chávez made multiple messianic decisions and became close with cult leader Charles Dederich. In the 1970s, the radical leftist also built a close relationship with Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. He was reportedly impressed with the dictator’s implementation of martial law in the Philippines and even accepted an award from the tyrant.
Despite his extremism, then-President Bill Clinton gave Chávez the Medal of Freedom in 1994.
In stark contrast to his granddaughter, Chávez opposed illegal immigration.
Chávez Rodriguez has championed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and other left-wing policies that favor mass migration. Yet, her grandfather ordered his associates to continuously monitor the southern border to prevent crossings, at times resulting in violent fights.
