#NotMiAbuela: Clinton compares herself to Latina grandmas, Twitter responds with outrage
Fox News Latino ^ | 12/23/2015 | Staff

Posted on 12/23/2015 11:48:20 AM PST by simpson96

A GIF-filled campaign post aimed at winning over Latino voters has backfired and instead is drawing the ire of many social media users for purportedly playing up ethnic stereotypes.

The campaign's "7 ways Hillary Clinton is just like your abuela" (the Spanish word for grandmother), which came on the same day Clinton's daughter Chelsea announced she is pregnant with what will be Clinton's second grandchild, was quickly derided by many online users as using vague stereotypes, basic Spanish vocabulary and even a photo of the candidate with singer Marc Anthony to show she is in touch with a younger generation.

"It's no secret that Hillary is loving her role as grandma," the campaign post says. "And she was thrilled to learn that next summer, her granddaughter Charlotte will have a sibling to play with."

The post then goes on to make numerous uses of the word respeto (Spanish for respect) paired with numerous GIFs, including one where she goes after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump by saying she had one word for him: "Basta! Enough!" The post ends with "Everybody loves abuela—even this guy," which shows a picture of Clinton alongside Anthony.

The post was quickly met with derision. Twitter users expressed their outrage using the hashtag #NotMiAbuela or #NotMyAbuela.

She is the ‘wicked evil bitch of the West’ in Cinderella, how can anyone with even 1 brain cell left in their head believe anything she is saying...

“Open mouth, out comes lies” her whole life!!!

Don’t try to play the ‘mamma’ card, your not one; don’t play the ‘grandma’ card, you don’t know how’ don’t play the ‘race’ card, your the biggest racist of all; don’t play the ‘pity me’ card, no one cares...

Go to prison where you belong!!!

Hilary, shameless panderer extraordinaire! Like the stunt she pulls when she speaks to Black people (Ahh don’ feel no wayz taaahred).Or the time she was running for US Senate from NY, while speaking to a group of Hasidic Jews in Monsey she pulled the old “you know, I recently found out I have Jewish ancestory in my family” routine. Hey, if ya can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, ya blind ‘em with bullshiite.

No, the sombrero was on the floor and Hillary was dancing around it while wearing a poncho and fake moustache.

Well, you knew that one was going to happen. A rich Old White woman trying to identify with the poor slaves the Democrats have brought across the border to work as maids, in the fields, in the food industry and make the lowest possible wages in the Blue States and cities.

Yeah, they see her as the rich slave owner
