Why not in Vietnamese, Italian, German, French and other languages?

This does not sit well with me.

First of all, it does not sit well with me because it’s in an other language. English is our national language and should be all that’s needed.

Secondly, if you start picking and choosing languages it looks to be as you’re saying “pandering”. Very political. The democrats play this game. Something a liberal would do. Now the GOP?

And I’ll bet the majority of the speech in spanish will be devoted to ILLEGAL immigration which is an insult to the latinos.

Why not a speech in German which demands more ethnic tolerence especially towards the Jews?

Why not a speech in Chinese about the importance of using beef and chicken in restaurants where beef and chicken is on the menu and discuss the health issues with serving sewer rats?

How about a speech in the Irish dialect to talk about the negative impact alcohol can have on a person?

A speech in Spanish to talk about illegal immigration.

No wonder we cant win the latino vote. I would expect that from the democrats.

Yes, it strikes me as anti-assimilation, anti-melting pot.

Not to mention, it comes across as pretty much as a wink-of-the-eye to the GOP’s joining with the Dems in completely ignoring the rule of law, and allowing the whole insane open-border policy of the past two decades.

My uncle never had the slightest bit of racism in him, but when telephone recordings started that “press one for Spanish” and when street signs in Spanish started popping up, he just exploded in fury. It was like a visceral slap in the face to him, an attack on his lifelong views of what constitutes America. The whole melting pot thing. He’d be mad as hell at Rubio for doing this. Would never forgive him, never support him, just due to this.
