Phyllis Schlafly: Disqualify Rubio for Lying About Amnesty in Spanish Language Interview

Conservative icon Phyllis Shlafly said freshman Senator Marco Rubio should be disqualified from the presidential race for lying to conservatives in English and saying something entirely different on Spanish language television.

Marco Rubio told Univision host Jorge Ramos that Obama's amnesty could not be terminated because people were already benefiting from it.

Breitbart.com reported:

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 during a Spanish Telemundo interview, calling it a "little thing." Steinle was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. Gutierrez exploded with rage when an expert immigration witness calmly called him out during a congressional hearing.

“Rush runs pro-Cruz PAC ads everyday on EIB

No he doesn’t, I listen every day and have never heard one. If you’re hearing those ads then it’s being aired by your local radio station, which Rush has no control over.”

Rush is running Cruz and Rubio ads. Cruz even uses Rush’s words in his own ads!

Excellent. I was thinking of doing a similar topic, but would not have been near as eloquent.

Let me repeat myself, THESE ADS ARE NOT BEING RUN ON THE RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW!

Sweetie, did you bother to read the entire article? I suspect not since you obviously missed this sentence:

The ad is not an endorsement from Limbaugh,

The fact that you are using "MotherJones" as an accurate source of political information shows that you have no business commenting on our political candidates, let alone Rush Limbaugh........Sheesh!

Here’s your proof:

Money Morning - Nov 11, 2015

When asked if he’d send 50,000 immigrants back, Trump said, “They’re going to have to go out. They can come back, but they’re gonna have to go out.”

I’m not defending Rubio.

I’m criticizing Phyllis for backing Trump who shares NONE of her values.

Opus is Latin for work. I suppose #34 reflects work or labor but it is a labor of love for the conservative movement to which I have belonged since Ronaldus Maximus gave a nationally televised address supporting the candidacy of an ever ungrateful Goldwater.

Thank you for your kind words. May God bless you and yours!

No but I think I know the Connie you refer to.
