Republicans repeatedly swear that they aren’t bigoted or intolerant, but their actions speak louder than their words.
That was proven for the entire internet to see yesterday when the House Republican Conference posted this message on Twitter/X:
“House Republicans believe in every American’s potential to thrive by embracing the power of work. Los Republicanos en la Cámara creemos en que cada ciudadano americano tiene el potencial de prosperar y beneficiarse de las oportunidades de trabajo.”

Looking at the reaction to the post, you’d think House Republicans had just demanded Donald Trump be impeached and imprisoned for the rest of his life. And as you’d expect, many of the comments were disgustingly xenophobic.
We speak English!! You need to go check out the EO that Trump signed, who ever is running this account needs to be fired!!!

Unless you’re doing this for the benefit of @nayibbukele , posting in any language other than English about working in the US, is 100% unacceptable.

Legal immigrants are required to read, speak and write in English in order to pass their citizenship requirements.
I don’t like pressing 2 for English. Who is running this account

This is America, and we don't need translations into Spanish. Continuing to show you are not about We The People but rather for the people from across the borders.

Why the hell are you posting in Spanish? This is America! English is the official language per the White House’s March 2025 order. Stop encouraging division and stick to English. We need unity, not pandering!
