Phyllis Schlafly, architect of the modern conservative movement and tireless opponent of mass immigration, says GOP hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)should be disqualified from the race for dishonestly saying one thing about amnesty in English and another in Spanish.
“If Jeb’s candidacy falters despite the $114 million he raised, the establishment’s next choices, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have basically similar views,” she wrote in her Monday World Net Daily column:
Kasich said the 12 million illegals should be “legalized once we find out who they are,” and Rubio said Obama’s executive amnesty “can’t be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it.”
Rubio’s statement was made in Spanish on the Spanish-language network Univision, which is reason enough to eliminate him from serious consideration. When somebody is running for president of the United States, why should we have to get somebody to translate his remarks into English?
Why indeed? Bilingualism has corroded political discourse rather than strengthened it. Lying in a different language is a becoming bipartisan pastime. Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez mocked Kathryn Steinle’s death as a “little thing” after she was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien in a Spanish Telemundo interview—then exploded with rage when an expert immigration witness calmly called him out during a congressional hearing.
Breitbart News exposed how Rubio himself endorsed Obama’s first executive action acted on behalf of illegal aliens, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), in Spanish to Jorge Ramos, then his campaign claimed he didn’t—then they did when pressed.

that’s what Yasser Arafat used to do: threaten terror against Israel in Arabic, promise peace in English
Burnt toast
This was the most notable moment of Marco Rubio's political career. This was the one thing he did where the next day everyone was talking about Marco Rubio.
Phyllis has been a blessing to this country.
Thanks for posting this.
He’s already toast!!!!
¡Rubio son Pan tostada!
Rubio is a Cuban con man.
Doesn’t Schlafly mean Rubio told the truth in Spanish, and lies in English?
Your version is correct.
Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy? If every time a candidate or a politician holding office lied that they would be fired. Nice thought. Pipe dream. Best we can do is expose it.
Bilingual politicians annoy me the most.
They have the ability to lie in two languages.
I have learned that when one drinks water like that, they are lying.
When Mark Levin revived the idea of an Article V Convention, Schlafly pulled a forty-year-old, yellowed, brittle column out of her filing cabinet and ran that—attacking the idea of a “runaway Constitutional Convention.”
Has she ever apologized?
“If every time a candidate or a politician holding office lied that they would be fired.”
If that happened there would be no such thing as a professional politician.
Colluding with Chuck Schumer in English is enough of a disqualifier.
Rubberio disqualified himself when he schemed with Schumer against the citizens.
None of the candidates who have stated they are unwilling to uphold the rule of law by supporting amnesty should be considered qualified to hold office.
