The House GOP has been engulfed in a MAGA firestorm after posting a message on X that was translated into Spanish. The official account was trying to signal that “every American” could benefit from Republican policies, but the outreach did not go down well among MAGA activists and some of the more radical members of its own caucus.
“House Republicans believe in every American’s potential to thrive by embracing the power of work,” the House Republican Conference account wrote, followed by the Spanish translation. MAGA nation was not having it.
Some outraged conservatives questioned whether the House GOP account had been hacked, and demanded that whoever posted it to be fired. Others recalled President Donald Trump‘s March executive order that designated English as the official language of the United States.
“Is this a joke, @HouseGOP? We’re in America. We represent Americans. We don’t pander in foreign languages. Speak English,” wrote Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX). He took a swipe in another post: “‘Press 2 for English’ is a losing message, @HouseGOP.”

Many of us warned and continue to warn minorities about the "code", and were summarily ignored. Welcome to (the REAL) America.
