I feel the same way about you. Whatever version of Spanish you speak in your native land is not the same language the rest of the world uses. Your translation is bunk.

Yeah, people don't like to be disagreed with (particularly when they're wrong, like in this case).

You don't even speak Spanish. You use a translator.

If I'm wrong why did the Congresswoman not address that in her statement? She's not disputing the translation.

Laughable.

And now you understand how Globalists can fundamentally change FREE Nations through mass flooding of immigrants, both legally and illegally.

See England for prime example

I'm not fluent but I speak polite Spanish.

Are you saying your personal translation is the only accurate one?

Are people supposed to call press conferences over every piece of misinformation shared on social media?

“Let’s call it what it is: today’s attacks are a weak attempt to silence my dissent and invalidate my patriotic criticism of the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government. It is the definition of hypocrisy that members of Congress —who betray their oath each day they enable Trump— are attacking me for celebrating my Guatemalan-American roots.



How did you translate this statement to fit your narrative?

Polite Spanish? Knowing how to ask for a restroom doesn't qualify you to speak on this topic.

She put out a statement. If the reported translation was wrong, why not say so?

quote:

What do you think that changes? Again, context matters. She chose to conclude in Spanish because she is Guatemalan before she is American. It's the only translation that makes sense given the statement.

Not a simple enough explanation for you? How about this: Que is used for comparisons. She clearly inserted Que into her statement. If you deny that, you must have a hearing problem. If she wanted to say but I am first an American she would have inserted a coordinating conjunction like "pero" or "aunque" followed by a simple "soy Americana."

Context. Grammar. Doesn't matter. Either angle wrecks your foolish, foolish attempt to claim she meant something else.
