Conservatives lashed out online Tuesday after the House GOPs official account on X (formerly Twitter) dared to share a post that was partially written in Spanish.
We speak English here was a common response from furious right-wing critics.
Some commenters questioned whether the House Republican Conferences account had been hacked, while others angrily demanded that whoever was responsible for the post be fired.
