Liberals Offended By Joe Kennedy’s Spanish(LOL!)

Rep. Joe Kennedy III addressed DACA recipients in Spanish during his response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Unfortunately for him, the liberal base may have found his attempts to be more offensive than they were honorable. People pointed out his lack of fluency and the obvious attempt to pander to immigrants.

Multiple people noted that it could be “condescending” to assume that DACA recipients do not speak English and need to be addressed in Spanish.

“News alert: dreamers speak more English than Spanish,” Father Jonathan Morris tweeted. “They came here as kids.”

DOH! So maybe the whatever it was at the corners could have been sour cream from some tacos he ate prepping for his little foray into spanglish? And the toilet continues to circle down the drain. Bet they won't ask him again.

The optics of a drooling Kennedy in front of a wrecked car (was it also wet?) are HORRIBLE optics.

Kennedys are most fluent in Scotch.

In addition to be a slobbering nitwit, he failed at pandering. He may have actually managed to bring a speck embarrassment to the Kennedy family.

Joe learned his Spanish in prep school and while vacationing in Baja

He should have practiced it at home on the maid and gardener

Does anyone really care what offends them? "You will be hated by the world because of me". "Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness because their deeds were evil". "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." ""All this [worldly kingdoms] I will give you," he [the devil] said, "if you will bow down and worship me.

I'd rather be hated by the world than loved by it.

Boy, you can’t win with the left. I remember whenever I’ve been in France how appreciative they were when we tried to speak French. Normal people unlike SJWs.

Does his middle intitial P. Stand for platitudes
?
Otherwise,I get the feeling that after he gave his rebuttal he turned to his handlers and said,
Does this mean I get to be the next President?

My liberal bud told me what he thought of Droolin’ Joe’s little speech this morning. I can’t post more than “that” and “and” or I’d get banned. I got the impression he didn’t like it.

The Kennedys have had problem with Spanish before.

A lifetime of hard, and often selfish, living also took its toll on Kennedy. In 1951, as a freshman at Harvard who was more interested in football than his studies, Kennedy arranged for a friend to take his spring Spanish exam. He was caught cheating and was subsequently expelled from the school for two years, during which time he served as a military police officer in Paris at the arrangement of his father.

Now you know there’s plenty to be embarrassed about in that family. And not just specks. ;-)

Yeah, but they only seem to care about politics, so making a political blunder may be the only thing that embarrasses a Kennedy. :D

25% of them can speak good English. 25% can only speak very little English. 50% can’t speak English at all.

I ran across these figures about a month ago.

I can’t evaluate his Spanish, but he did serve in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic for two years and is said by some to speak fluent Spanish.
