CNN commentator and Donald Trump supporter Scottie Nell Hughes was not happy with the Spanish she heard coming out of Hillary Clinton’s new vice presidential pick’s mouth at a rally in south Florida Saturday.

Former Virginia governor Tim Kaine was named Friday as Clinton’s running mate and the campaign touted his time as a missionary in Honduras where he learned to speak fluent Spanish.

“I appreciating him having multi-cultural and speaking Spanish, I think that’s a great idea,” Nell Hughes said. “And we can all bring out our languages. Melania can come out and speak her five different languages as well, but what Mr. Trump did, he spoke in a language that all Americans can understand. That is English!”

Nell Hughes went on to say that Trump’s English is “one good thing” she experienced at the Republican National Convention this past week. “I didn’t have to get a translator for anything that was going on at the RNC this week. And I’m hoping I’m not gonna have to start brushing up back on my ‘Dora the Explorer’ to understand some of the speeches given this week.”

Definitely a Trumpite.

1. She wasn't mocking his Spanish; she was mocking the fact that he spoke it.

After all, if English was good enough for Jesus it should be good enough for all Americans.

[ancianita]

4. Yeah, I call it pendejo politics. This is how they avoid major issues -- with trifling.

After the namecalling is tried and fails.

Trump chumps can't get past ANY differences.

Neither can they be confronted with their shallow ignorance of American history and its varied cultures.

[HockeyMom]

6. Not when you "gotta go"

I was ready to fall down and kiss the ground that I took Spanish in HS 40 years ago. Went to a store in Florida just at opening time, when I suddenly had to "go" very bad. Nobody there but what looked like a cleaning/stock woman. Frantically, asked where the Ladies Room was but all she kept saying was "No English", and pointing to the Store Manager way at the front. Oh, no, cannot walk that far.

On pure instinct I just blurted out "Donde esta EL BANYO". She looked stunned, grabbed me by the hand saying SI, SI, SI, and rushed me to the Ladies Room. lol

Damn, was I happy that I took HS Spanish. Maybe like riding a bike. You never forget.

[Skittles]

18. LOL

STOP IT TVO, YER KILLING ME

[TheDebbieDee]

27. Lol!

[MADem]

38. His Spanish is fluent and his accent is clear.

He can discuss policy and issues; he's got that much ability and facility.

I'm surprised Trump doesn't stuff his big orange face into the camera and scream, with spittle on the side of his mouth, "But I can speak PIG LATIN!!!!!"

[underpants]

42. LOL. Lucky for her he didn't speak in Australian, she'd have to brush up on The Wiggles

[JI7]

2. typical trump supporter

[rurallib]

3. Makes me wonder if Melania tells Donnie to go to hell

in the four languages he refuses to learn

Scottie Nell - she is a piece of work. Fugelsang has her on periodically and it is usually a hoot because she will not listen to anyone and facts mean nothing.

[Mister Twilight]

25. Melania speaks four languages?

Wow, I had no idea. Honestly!

[rurallib]

26. five including english

not too unusual for europeans to speak several languages I have been told.

[alfredo]

41. Eritreans speak up to seven languages.

[Paladin]

5. Ms. Nell Hughes, you'll understand things better with your head pulled out of your ass.

Give it a try.

[leftofcool]

30. Oh snap!

[yardwork]

7. Racism, bigotry, and xenophobia. Also anti-intellectualism.

Trump supporters have the full Monty.

[niyad]

11. sadly, you are quite correct.

[Botany]

8. The Trump/RNC People could not even get the right Spanish verb on their signs @ the RNC

It would be best that they STFU about Kaine's skills in Spanish.

[MADem]

39. Those signs should have said "Hispanos CON Trump" really--

"Hispanics WITH Trump" -- it's even more on point than (for) "por."

But the truth of the matter is this--it's Trump who is trying to "con" the Hispanos--and they aren't buying what that grifter is selling.

[IronLionZion]

9. Governor Tim Kaine Interviewed on "Al Punto" en Español

Trump's people will probably deport him just for knowing the language.

[Botany]

13. R you kidding me?

thanx for posting!



Yo soy tonto gringo y mis espanol es muy muy malo pero Senor Kaine
hablar espanol muy bueno.

Please Trump and GOP go after Kaine for his skills in Spanish.

So outside of old Cubans in Florida Clinton/Kaine should get > 95%
of the Hispanic vote.

[IronLionZion]

14. Clinton/Kaine is also going to get many young Cubans

and those open-minded Cubans who might actually want to visit family or do trade with Cuba. The Castro hate is much less in younger generations.

[drray23]

20. he may get some cuban americans

He is also catholic. That might resonate enough with them to switch their votes

[Botany]

21. Cubans Americans that < 45 tend to be a lot more liberal

n/t

[niyad]

10. jealous, nellie? got news for you. in many circles (not yours, of course), it is considered

a hallmark of educated and civilized people to be able to speak more than one language.

oh, and it would be nice if the donnie supporters could actually speak decent english.

[monmouth4]

12. Their bitterness and jealousy is showing..LOL..n/t

[timlot]

15. Yes indeed.

Bulging at the seems.

[Johonny]

16. Everyone under their white sheet spoke english

No matter the fabric of the sheet used. The RNC a refreshing change for racists that eant equality.

[Skittles]

17. what an ugly, ugly gal

[Jopin Klobe]

19. Scottie Nell Hughes is Political Editor of RightAlerts.com ...

... and WHAT a load of right-wing crap THAT is ...

[LiberalFighter]

22. If she didn't like the fact Kaine spoke Spanish at the event.

Then shouldn't she also be displeased that they had signs at the RNC Convention that were in Spanish? Poor Spanish but still not in English.

[jtuck004]

23. Hey, Scottie - I doubt there is a Mexican that gives a flying rat's ass what you or the buffoon

you kiss up to has to say. Pretty sure that opinion is shared by a lot of others.

So don't waste your time.

[4lbs]

24. Wow. Not really masking the "whites only" thought is she?

Oh, and she's a dolled-up white, blonde, blue-eyed GOP bot that looks like she's fresh off the Fox & Friends show.


Sieg Heil, Ms. Hughes.

Sieg Heil.

[MADem]

40. That blonde is from a bottle. She started out as a deep brunette.

She made a video (that she deleted) when she got hired to CNN as a consultant (it's posted somewhere here on DU) -- and the first few clips of her look decidedly different as they were pre-dye job.

[MBS]

28. These people are so vile.

I can't wait for the Democratic convention to begin.
In the meantime, Kaine was great today! And, by the way, there were rousing cheers when he spoke Spanish. Not many Trumpites at FIU today, I think

[frogmarch]

29. Scottie's JEALOUS!

Sen. Kaine rocked in both languages!

[keithbvadu2]

31. Hopefully Dubya pleased her with his rendition of the National Anthem in Spanish

when he was on the campaign trail.

[63splitwindow]

32. Dumbasses have mocked intelligent people forever. It's all they got. nt

[world wide wally]

33. Fuck you means the same thing in any country

[tclambert]

34. Translation from Trump surrogate to English: "I don't know stuff, and I'm proud I don't know stuff."

Really, many Trump supporters are PROUD of their stupidity. When did stupidity become something to be proud of?

[Beacool]

35. That's because these bigots pride themselves in only knowing one language.

I speak more than one language and wish I knew more.

As for this idiot, who the eff cares about her ignorant, narrow minded opinion?

[cannabis_flower]

36. Probably would if she could

Melania speaks Slovenian, English, French, Serbian and German. There are 52.6 million Spanish speakers in the United States. Perhaps if there were 52.6 million French, Serbian, German or Slovenian speakers Melania would be well advised to speak in those languages but there aren't and that's why she doesn't. I bet if she spoke Spanish she would have spoke some.

In fact, the US has more Spanish speakers than any other country besides Mexico. More than Spain in fact.

http://nypost.com/2015/06/29/us-has-more-spanish-speakers-than-spain/

[FlaGranny]

43. Whoa!

Really? I guess she can understand everything at the convention because most of Trump's supporters speak the same poor English she does.

[Justice]

44. Dora the Explorer trended on Twitter when she said that

The tweets were not complimentary of her.

[phylny]

45. Idiots don't realize that most of our founding fathers (and mothers)

spoke more than one language, and it was a sign of schooling and intelligence. I speak enough Spanish to get by, and I wish I were fluent.

[GOLGO 13]

46. A person that speaks 3 languages is Trilingual

A person that speaks 2 languages is Bilingual

A person that speaks 1 language is called an American.

Yes, keep getting the attention of all Latinos & others with your "whites only club" hate speech. Yes, "Dora" we know exactly what your trying to say. Message clearly received. We don't forget nor forgive.

I speak 3 languages, 4 if I was curious enough to learn Italian.

[Odin2005]

47. Cue the wing-nuts accusing Kaine of "virtue signalling".
