3. consider the source of that "cannot speak English" talking point

Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy (who at the same time also said the driver was a naturalized citizen) based on hearsay from the local police. His boss has a longtime agenda item of demonizing any immigrant legal or not.

Consider that basic English proficiency is a requirement to pass the citizenship test - so the math ain’t adding up unless there are special circumstances I haven’t heard of.

It’s possible he spoke with a heavy accent to the police officers on the scene, then the officers wrote “cannot speak English” in their report (a possibility in that part of Virginia that isn’t exactly Arlington, Richmond, or Norfolk). (I am Chinese-American and have been around enough Chinese immigrants who are quite intelligent yet retain their old country’s linguistics.)
