Immigrants to the United States should "speak American," former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said on Sunday, adding her voice to a controversy triggered by Donald Trump's criticism of fellow Republican White House hopeful Jeb Bush's use of Spanish.
"It's a benefit of Jeb Bush to be able to be so fluent in Spanish, because we have a large and wonderful Hispanic population that is helping to build America," Palin said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Bush on Thursday rejected the notion offered by Trump that people should speak only English in the United States. Bush, who is fluent in Spanish and frequently breaks into the language at his events, vowed to keep speaking Spanish whenever he feels like it.Sarah Palin confuses me. Is she talking about speaking North American, speaking Central American, or speaking South American?
Trump, the Republican front-runner whose hardline stance on illegal immigration is a hallmark of his bid for the party's nomination in the November 2016 election, said: "We're a nation that speaks English."
Bush said Trump's jibe at him that he "spoke Mexican" while on a visit to the U.S. border was deeply divisive.
North America includes Canada. Is it OK to speak Canadian?
Central America includes Mexico, so why can't we speak Mexican?
Many in South America speak Spanish, is it OK to speak South American?
If you read between the lines of the Constitution it is clear that the Founders of the United States wanted us to speak the language of God. Therefore "speaking American" surely means speaking Glossolalia, speaking Biblical Hebrew, and speaking Biblical Aramaic. Clearly Donald Trump is Satan for declaring: "We're a nation that speaks English". Where did we go so horribly wrong?
Truth be told, I think that Sarah Palin actually does speak Glossolalia.
