So yet another Civil Rights legend has decided to shite on their legacy by twisting the truth to sway votes for Hillary.
actress America Ferrera who also stumps for Hillary was happy to retweet
but since its the 2010s and everyone has a cell phone there is video which of course shows her claim to be false. Bernie supporters simply wanted a neutral translator.
LINK
hell, Susan Sarandon was there and linked the video
another celeb Gabby Hoffman was also there and tried to tell Ferrera it didnt happen but got no response.
Ferrera still has the fake story as her top tweet and while Huerta has been slowly walking back her claim neither have taken down the obvious BS tweets that were clearly meant to drive Hispanics away from Bernie.
Do they not realize this is the exactly the kind of stuff that makes people unable to trust Hillary? Do they not get that this will cause a significant chunk of the Dem base to stay home if she is the nominee?
She pulled this kind of crap in '08 and its once again become a pattern vs Bernie
1. the DNC data breach claims that Debbie Wasserman Shultz (HUGE Hillary shill) was happy to blame on the Sanders campaign even though the guy that did it was a person SHE recommended and ignoring the fact that the breach went both ways
2.John Lewis saying he never mete Bernie in the civil rights days insinuating he didn't actually fight for civil rights while acting like he met the Clintons during that era (when Hillary was a Goldwater/Rockefeller supporter lol)
3. Claire McCaskill (longtime supporter) insinuating he is a communist
4. Julian Castro (likely VP) claiming he hasn't been to Texas when he has had two large rallies in Dallas and Houston
5. insinuations that he would side against Israel when he is Jewish
6. Johnathan Capehart (his partner works for Clinton) trying to claim pictures of him leading a Civil Rights talk was not him
and of course now this where Huearta and Ferrera pretended the crowd was shouting English only at the caucus when in reality a person was calling for a neutral translator.
Its like these people don't realize we have this thing called the internet that lets you fact check instantly or that damn near everything is filmed now so the video WILL come out if you are making shite up.
Trump, Cruz, and their surrogates are doing the same shite and it drives me insane.

Even if they did chant 'Spanish Only', nobody should take offense to it. As an Hispanic person who still uses Spanish at home and in business, I understand when and where the appropriate language should be used. And in a caucus, it's probably one of those times were English should be used. People like Dolores Huerta say that by doing English only, Spanish speaking people will get left out of the Democratic process. But what she fails to notice is that by having someone translate everything on stage is annoying (yes, even to me!), unproductive and time consuming for everyone involved.
Although Dolores Huerta has been a Union bully and a troll, this faux-outrage is the organizers' fault. I've been part of several events in which 35% of our audience spoke Spanish-only and 5% Vietnamese-only. What we did was put 4 translators (2 Spanish & 2 Vietnamese so they could alternate) in a room with microphones and then we used two Part 15 FM transmitters to broadcast their live translation in FM. We handed out little headsets pre-tuned at 87.9 FM for Spanish and 92.5 FM in Vietnamese to anyone who needed live translations. Everything always went on without problems and no time was wasted on stage waiting for someone to translate everything. If any of the non-english audience members had questions, we also had translators on stage that would translate the question instantly to the host to answer.
Looks like a huge fail by the Democrats and Dolores Huerta for not being proactive para su gente.
¡Ay, que pendeja!
