Newt Gingrich’s New Hispanic Site Shows He’s Okay With Us Speaking Spanish, We Think

Gingrich Communications–a company owned by Newt Gingrich–launched an online news network for Latinos this week and, guess what? It’s bilingual. (In English and Spanish.) The site is called The Americano. Already we feel included. And it claims to “offer a more balanced view on all the issues that concern American Hispanics today.” Balanced views like this one, “[The Americano will] renew our commitment to American values, language and history as the prerequisite for U.S. citizenship.” Whoa. Inclusion terminado. But, then they goes ahead and say that shit in Spanish:

Renovamos nuestro compromiso con los valores de los Estados Unidos de América, su lengua e historia como prerrequisito para obtener la ciudadanía estadounidense.

Now we don’t know how to feel. They hate our mother tongue, but they went to all the trouble of telling us so in our language. We can just hear Newt’s pronunciation now:
