He first said (while discussing bilingual education) .....
Later he says he actually meant jews...?!?!
Finally he apologizes in spanish, with english subtitles , very bilingual...
Quite funny turn of events,
By the way his pronounciation makes me think he is reading some kind of phonetic transcription....
"The American people believe English should be the official language of the government. ... We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto,"
Later he says he actually meant jews...?!?!
But last night on Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich claimed his statement “did not refer to Spanish.” Gingrich insisted, “What I meant is very clear[],” but then wouldn’t say which language he was referring to.
Gingrich said, “Now, I’ll let you pick — frankly, ghetto, historically had referred as a Jewish reference originally. I did not mention Hispanics, and I certainly do not want anybody who speaks Spanish to think I’m in any way less than respectful of Spanish or any other language spoken by people who come to the United States.”
