Romney Airs Spanish-Language Ad, Despite Insistence That ‘English Must
Be Spoken In America’
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has released a new
Spanish-language campaign ad in Florida entitled Mi Padre (My Father),
featuring Romney’s son, Craig.
Craig encourages voters to “get to know my father, Mitt Romney.”
Romney himself then chimes in with: Soy Mitt Romney y apruebo este
mensaje (I’m Mitt Romney and I approved this message).
Watch it:

It’s interesting that Romney is so interested in reaching out to
Latino voters in Spanish.
In the past, he has been stridently English-only:
“English needs to be the language that is spoken in America. We cannot
be a bilingual nation like Canada.” [3/07]

“You strengthen the American people by securing our borders and by
insisting that the children who come legally to this land are taught
in English.” [3/2/07] http://www.mittromney.com/News/Speeches/CPAC
In September, the Spanish-language television network Univision had to
cancel a GOP presidential debate when only Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)
agreed to attend.

But with the important Florida presidential primary — and its large
number of Latino voters — approaching, the candidates are going
all-out to pander for votes.
Earlier this month, Giuliani also released a campaign ad en español on
at least three Spanish-language television stations

in Miami, despite his vocal support for English-only policies.
