AOC Condemns Spain For Stealing Mexico’s Language

MUNICH — In a bold declaration against colonial imperialism, U.S. Congresswoman Alexandro Ocasio-Cortez spoke out this week to condemn Spain for stealing Mexico's language.

According to AOC, Spain is a racist, dirty, white colonialist old power and should repatriate the Spanish language back to Mexico, where she said it originated.

"How dare you appropriate Mexico's native tongue?" AOC berated the Spanish prime minister, shaking her head in disbelief. "I can't believe you would stoop to such lows. How do you even steal an entire language? It's worse than Ocean's Eleven. What's going to be next? Stealing the recipe for Tex-Mex chicken enchiladas or copying Catholicism from Mexico and taking it to Europe? Check your privilege, bigot."

The New York congresswoman further castigated Spain for plagiarizing the idea of cool horsemen with ponchos and guitars from Mexico back in the 16th century.

"Everyone forgets about these historical travesties, but not me," AOC said. "I won't stay quiet any longer and watch as Spain continues to get off the hook for the atrocious thefts of the early modern period. Who came up with caballeros in the first place, anyway? I know it was Mexico, since I've heard ABBA's 'Fernando' just as much as anyone. Plus, the word 'caballero' is Spanish, which is Mexican."

At publishing time, AOC had called upon world leaders to support her efforts by renaming the language "Mexicanian."

Thank, now I remember what the vacuous vaquera said. I am so used to AOC’s stupid that I don’t pay much attention to when she goes above and beyond the call of doody.

My earlier statement was wrong:

“”The sharks tried the bars, with Candace Nelson praising the Lemon White Chocolate Crunch for its fresh lemon flavor and satisfying crunch Tasting Table. Lori Greiner was the most interested, offering $500,000 for a 6% stake, but after negotiation Patrick and Maria accepted $500,000 for a 3.5% equity stake plus 1.5% advisory shares””

As an aside...

I learned street “Spanglish” when I was going to school in California. I got pretty good at bad Spanish. When I went on a great tour of Chile and Argentina (beautiful countries) the locals all said, “you sound like a Mexican.”

She was so cute back in the day. After just a few years as a democrat commie she is turning in to Maxine Waters with ‘good hair.’

“ Yeah, I had to look too. It really is in character. She needs to get after the French and the Russians for stealing our salad dressing. Dang colonizers.”

It goes far deeper into history than France and Russia. Caesar started the salad dressing thefts long ago.

Have you considered the fact that we might need a bridge to Europe to escape when America capsizes due the weight of illegal aliens moving into California

I think the Cortez plan for a bridge to the EU is foresighted and forward thinking and was obviously thought up in collaboration with other deep thinkers in the Democrat party like Hank Johnson

The project can be spearheaded by the same Democrat dream team that brought us the Big Dig in Boston and high speed rail somewhere in California

"Did she say something particularly stupid to trigger this article?"

Yes, she did. It was her stupid remark on Sunday about cowboys.

AOC Schools Marco Rubio on Cowboys, Ends Up Needing a History Lesson Herself

While criticizing a recent Secretary of State Rubio speech, Ocasio-Cortez took issue with what she claimed was Rubio’s statement that America’s cowboys came from Spain. She mocked Rubio: “My favorite part was when he said that American cowboys came from Spain. And I believe the Mexicans and descendants of African enslaved peoples would like to have a word on that.”

BUT...Spain introduced horses to Mexico. She's getting roasted everywhere over her stupidity.

When the border between Austria and Yugoslavia was drawn after WWI, some Slovenes were left on the Austrian side of the border and their descendants may still speak Slovenian.

I found some people on the 1920 US census who put down "Austrian" as their native language--they were immigrants from Austria-Hungary but not German speakers (but the census official crossed out "Austrian" and wrote in "German").

The Hawaiian cowboys also were from Spain. The word for cowboy in Hawaii is “paniolo”, derived from “Spain” in pidgin.
