CNN Trump surrogate mocks Kaine’s Spanish: I might have to brush up on my ‘Dora the Explorer’

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.”

Frankly, his command of the English language is inferior to many who speak English as a second or third language.

Donald Trump speaks and writes English worse than many illegal immigrants. Go back to school Mr. Trump, then try to be coherent in English, and explain what your two investigators found when they went to Hawaii to prove that Obama was not born in US.

Her English is too good, he said, which clearly indicates that she is foreign.
Whereas others are instructed in their native language, English people aren't.

not all Americans can speak English; this is just further proof (as if we needed any) that the GOP is an extremist party hell bent on destroying the progress we've made over the last 20 years. But, you see these people every day. It's sickening.

I'll give her props that it's not word salad.

You can sense it. Kaine was supposed to be "boring" and "uninspired". They realize they have greatly underestimated him. The panic is setting in.

Donald Trump can't even properly speak English.

Also, what the hell does this mean?

“I appreciating him having multi-cultural and speaking Spanish, I think that’s a great idea...”

is that sentence supposed to make sense? Apparently Trump's not the only Republican who can't speak English.

I get the feeling that she, like so many of Trump's supporters, would need to polish their map skills to find their own ass.
