- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was told to provide a translation after speaking Spanish in support of statehood for Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico, acquired by the United States from Spain in 1898 after the Spanish-American War, is a commonwealth, or self-governing state, subject to the authority of Congress. Residents can vote in presidential primaries but not the general election. The island has a nonvoting member of Congress but no voting representatives or senators, as states have.
Puerto Rico has given its residents the opportunity to express their opinion on the island's governmental status, holding various nonbinding votes on its relationship to the United States. In a 2020 ballot measure that asked a single question about statehood, 52.3% of voters said they favored Puerto Rico becoming a state. In three earlier nonbinding plebiscites between 1967 and 1998, a majority of Puerto Rican voters favored remaining as a commonwealth. Other residents favored outright independence.

@@medde655 no reason to hate. But I think a lot of people are mad at her for supporting reckless spending and pandering.
She really is a bad politician.

Oh yeah remember when she turned into Ricky Ricardo when everyone was taunting her? I've literally got that set as my alarm I get up so quick to turn that annoying voice off I have not been late since. I was seriously waiting for her to say "Lucy, you got some splaining to do." 😂😂
I guess you are a troll when you need attention.
She’s worth 29 million. Can you imagine.
Yeah she sucks but she kind of cute that's about it she should go wash dishes or pick another career cuz she suck at her job

Her father was born in a Puerto Rican family and her mother is Puerto Rican. Ted Cruz was born in Canada but he is still regarded as Hispanic. Stop nitpicking.
@@musicsansnotes unless you were there shut the hell up .
I have family in Puerto Rico and they were there. The room was so overcrowded people couldn't get by each other to get help so he threw paper towels to those in the back that couldn't push forward because of the crowd .
He sent Navy ships over there to help one of my family members who went and labor and their hospital was without power and medical resources so she had to deliver her baby over here in California .
If you want to ask the real questions, won't you ask the San Juan mirror? Why was she standing in front of her crate of food that she said that Trump never sent?
Why did she have baby formula diapers and food held up in storage for her own personal game that was supposed to be headed out to the residents of Puerto Rico?
Ask her why she never fixed a power grid. Why does it go out after all America sends millions of dollars every year for y'all to fix it? .
Why don't you ask Hillary Clinton why she tax companies and border Rico back in the 1990s and left 90% of the island unemployed? .
But we asked to real questions and stop making stupid statements .

@@nancycali4644 She hasn’t done anything, other than say cow farts cause global warming. That’s a fact. She actually said that. And do you know how she came to be elected? She responded to an open call audition the Democrat Party conducted. She was a 29 year old bartender with no political experience, education, training or knowledge. You do know that, don’t you? She was nothing but a BAR TENDER. The Democrat Party wanted a far left liberal minority female to run in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which is a far left liberal district. The Democrat Party funded her campaign and ensured she would defeat a 10-year incumbent Democrat. And now she’s in Congress.
She has proven herself to be a far left lunatic, incapable of reason. Incapable of understanding evidence, facts or law. She is nothing but a pawn for the Democrat Party. Yep, she is a patsy for the same political party that founded the KU KLUX KLAN. That’s why people don’t like her.

Good, i hope she focuses on the mainland and everyone in it, not just Puerto Ricans.

Same here. Ugh. Ella no sabe na’ de ser boricua.
As a Puerto Rican, I too apologize to all Americans for the disaster that is AOC.
As a Boricua, we celebrate this incredible young, accomplished, fearless, and hopefully future President.
Apology not accepted because apology not needed.
That’s not what she said. She can’t even speak Spanish.
Hello Puerto Rican person. What has Cortez done to my country exactly?
@Pancho Quiñones Fearless?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's refused all offers of debates, she's afraid to be on any stage for debate, knowing her incompetence and idiocy will be exposed, even though she does a good job on her own showing that. She hasn't even had a single bill with her name on it get voted through, so where are her accomplishments? LOL

True, she doesn't speak for many of us. Many Boricuas(Puertoricans) disagree with AOC especially conservatives. The problem with Puerto Rico is that most of the people are conservatives. But the leaders of the island are corrupt marxist comunists, and they want to portrait us as crazy liberals.

That was the least American thing I’ve ever heard.
This country was created by English-speaking people. English is what we speak here. She can speak it, or get out of Congress.
As a former bartender, AOC DOES bring something to the table: lots of boos.
Someone who worked with her in a bar said that this woman stole her tips
Don’t forget the jugs
Well said😂!
She's a nut case
@@ralphtom3431 how do you steal tips? Curious so I can make sure my tips are not being stolen. Because I always give it to the bartender or leave it in the ticket book.
I am Puerto Rican, and I know many Puerto Ricans from NYC. Very few Puerto Ricans I know like or identify with AOC or what she represents. In many ways, she is far more part of the political establishment than she is an advocate for the people. I am not quite clear on what she has actually done for her constituents relative to her outsized political profile. Her REAL constituents appear to be the political party she fund raises for.
She speaks the truth, but you’re right she hasn’t really done much for her constituents. But in her defense, she’s not really in a position of power to do much.
Por fin encuentro un Juan Perez, aunque digan que es uno de los nombres más comunes.
You’re clearly talking out your ass. So you don’t like cortez, more power to ya, and she annoys me too. But the establishment HATES her, she’s no corporate democrat. She’s barely a democrat at all other than in a performative way. She’s also the only democrat who voted against the most recent ominbus bill republicans hate so much. She is still a freshman, basically a neophyte with no real power yet, just name recognition and a ton of popularity. But i love how her haters give her so much credit, as if she’s actually done anything to them other than be annoying. It really is hilarious reading through these comments and seeing how worked up people get over her simply speaking a sentence in another language.
Then WHY do they keep electing her? These people always want to represent everyone else, just not the people that elected her. 🤦♂️ Not so smart huh?
@@stephen4763 if you actually pay attention to the policies she campaigns on, you’d see that she actually sticks to them and her voting history is proof of that. Say what you will about her, but the people in NY have proved they love her in an overwhelming majority. Because, putting aside whatever feelings you have about her cringey sound bytes, there’s no denying she has more integrity than the lot of congress. She votes how she promised she would, the last omnibus vote for example. The establishment isn’t exactly on her side either, if you haven’t noticed. If she sticks around long enough, her integrity will be tested and then I’ll form my opinion on her. I’m not in new york so I can’t speak from experience but the numbers don’t lie, she mopped the floor with her opponents. People like her for a reason. If she were out there fleeing the scene of a drunk driving accident or talking about jewish space lasers, she probably wouldn’t be so well liked by her constituents.
So you're not American.
“What you just said…. Is the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever heard….”
I hear people calling her a moron, but those who vote for her are far worse.
Probably voter fraud as well.
So true.
She wasn't elected to be in that spot...she was selected. Placed as a PAWN. She's doing EXACTLY what they put her there to do.

@Ultimate: I know many Puerto Ricans personally who are very proud of her. So you cannot speak for all Puerto Ricans. You might want to take that "we" out of your sentence.

@@jantejeda161Marjorie Taylor Greene is crazy for real. AOC is just progressive (not crazy at all) and conservatives don’t like it….
@Jan Tejeda First, despite the other commenter’s misspelling, you obviously knew who he was talking about. Therefore, communication took place nonetheless.
Second, the relevance of bringing up MTG is due to the OG claiming AOC is crazy, therefore MTG was mentioned as an example of real crazy that the OG apparently doesn’t have a problem with.
@Jan Tejeda She ha gotten elected and re-elected by her constituents by very comfortable margins, so her people obviously don’t feel embarrassed by her.

@@MissCleo24 Your response is incoherent and very poorly written. You talk about many things that make no sense, and you don't back them up with any facts. Give me facts!
Where in the Bible does it talk about the European Colonizers and opresors?
Are you aware that the KKK also loves to quote the Bible, among many verses, "The Curse of Ham", Genesis 9:24-27?
AOC claims she "got in touch with her indigenous roots" while at Standing Rock, and this made her decide to run. Not true!
She was picked while working on Bernie Sanders Campaign by Saikat Chakrabarti a tech millionaire who switched to politics and was Campaign Director for Bernie Sanders.
Chakrabarti is the
co-founder of
Brand New Congress, an organization looking to launch left-wing candidates into Congress.
He liked her "look" and "molded" her to become a candidate using good advertising, promotion and media manipulation.
AOC has Puertorrican roots. She was born in the Bronx to an architect father also born in the Bronx and a Puertorrican mother. They moved to Yorktown Heights, a well to do suburb in Westchester, NY, where she grew up.
AOC is a chameleon who has learned to adjust herself to any situation. She is not a politician! She is a product of Saikat Chakrabarti.
I doubt that she has studied and knows The Constitution of the United States!
I grew up in Puerto Rico, a Comonwealth of the United States. In March 2, 1917 President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act, a law that gave Puerto Ricans U.S. Citizenship.
Puertorricans are lovely, hospitable people and welcomed us Cubans fleeing a communist regime with open arms! One thing they are not is manipulating liars. They are honest, humble and proud of their Taino Herritage. Does AOC know anything about the Indigenous Tribes in Puerto Rico and our Caribean Islands for that matter? Does she know who Agüeybana is? He was the principal Cacique (Chief) of the Taino tribe when Columbus arrived in the island.
You talk about the Bible and assimilation. Where does it say that?
You want a quote on assimilation? Read President Theodore Roosevelt's quote: "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
When we became American Citizens, we proudly said The Oath of Alligeance, "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
I believe in The Constitution, and respect the Oath of Alligeance that I said many years ago.

She should, we speak English here as our primary language. In an official setting such as this she needs to prioritize English.
As an Indian , i support Puerto Ricans in their birth right to disown AOC. Cheers 🥂
well that is true… but damn, she’s still hot to me lol. 😂
lmfao 😂
I live in Fajardo PUERTO RICO AND HATE HER
lolk keep doing idpol, commie
lolk keep doing idpol, commie
I resent this woman more than anyone else in the world.
SPEAK ENGLISH OR LEAVE!! ESPECIALLY IN CONGRESS . WE ARE PAYING YOU SO IF WE CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY YOU GOTTA GO. YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO BE TOLD THAT?? THEN YOU DONT QUALIFY FOR YOUR POSITION
I think Spanish speakers need a translation😂😂
😂😂😂 Yes, she obviously never learned Spanish grammar or proper pronunciation.
Borcua is one born in pr
@@vanessashimoni6548She is speaking Boricua Spanish, it’s actually comparatively easy when you Consider Argentina, Chilean, and European Spanish.
@@withlessAsbestos
Nah you tripping, PR Spanish is the hardest one to understand. That’s why you’ll never see a PR Spanish translation option.
@MartinManUtdFan spanglish
This woman says we need to take care of the world when she's wearing a 1000 dollar dress. I'm sick and tried of paying for other people's kids.
Shes done her district hates her
She can begin by helping her Grandmother in Puerto Rico.
Actually, now that she is fabulously rich, she did send $1 mill to her grandmother
How did she EARN that much extra money?? On a congressman salary???
@@joeyoung4121 she's a democrat, duh
So true..with the money she makes and doesn't help her grandma..
@@bettechetwood1823 Proof she sent that much. I don’t believe your BS.
Translation is, citizens of NY are paying my dumb ass $174,000 to be this incompetent.
Incredible...wow! $174,000 mind boggling.
No you are paying her. The money is from the federal gov't.
@@davidrynberk1533 Sad but true
@@AI_Image_Master And where do you suppose the federal government gets that money to pay the idiot.
@@08c6vette No, The citizens of the US, including NY and wherever you live are paying her. We are also paying for congresswomen that believe J Space Lasers are causing wild fires.
Please, learn English when you come to America.
I bet the patrons at the bar she used to work at are glad she’s gone
She's no Boriqua. We pulled her puertorican card years ago. She what we now call a lost coconut 🥥 😏.
Jajaja
@@pb1305 iiifk
Haha. Classic !!!!
Shame on you ppl. So in love with white ppl. Shame
El coco perdido 😂👍
She also thinks she's black.
Well, I think what she meant to say was that she would like to have some black in her.
😂
She could be, why all the hate in these comments?
That was savage son 😂❤❤
@@cletusjohnson6175 she could be if she was another person born from another set of parents where at leastb1 of the 2 is black 😄 yes
Love my Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 people 💕
Wow. Reading some of these comments. I never knew the Puerto Rican community had such a low esteem for AOC.
Anyone with half a brain does
You damn right ✅️ 👌
Bots
Those same people saying that shit about AOD would probably deep throat a cheeto.
Frfr WTF😢, HOW DISAPPOINTING
As a Boricua I am ashamed that she's representing us in Congress.
Too bad for you. Then get up there and see if you can. Cállate la boca ommbeee.
ME 2🇵🇷
😃
She's not, she's representing NY in congress.
@@MissCleo24 Leftist mentality, group people and then assign roles. The individual is irrelevant.
As a Puerto Rican, I would like to say that Trump represents us better than AOC
"Trump represents us better than aoc"? You mean that time when he was throwing paper towels at them?
@medde655 that was less offensive than when the local government withheld US aid during hurricane Maria while thousands were homeless or dying.
@@Ayporque you're wrong, donald trump withheld the aid. Well, except for the paper towels. But, the question isn’t about the local government, it’s about what did TRUMP do for puerto rico?
@medde655 you a ricky fan? Did you forget the telegram chat already?
@@Ayporque what?? Speak english.
I would like to know the context of why she said that. What was she talking about in Congress that might apply to identify herself as proudly from Puerto Rican heritage. Peurto Rico is part of the U.S. as well, which could also be her point. Many americans do not realise that.
Who keeps voting her in. What an embarrassment to her constituents.
Mail-in voting. They get people who don't vote to give them their ballots.
I ask the same question about Green and Boburt.
Low IQ, non-educated people.
Y’all vote in MTG who legitimately believed Qanon and conspiracies involving the Jews but you think a progressive from NY is a dumb choice
Well sure, she doesn't support Trump inviting Neo Nazis for dinner like conservative Christians, but that doesn't make her a bad person.
Never been so embarrassed to see someone say they’re Puerto Rican 😩😩
Surprised she didn't give a shout out to her beloved "abuela".
Why?
Why are you embarrassed??
Your friends and family probably say the same about you behind your back.
@@NewyorkRican2191 cos he's far right
AOC = Always Off Course
Hell No! I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. She does not represent us. She doesn't even know what that life is like whatsoever.
Why do politicians find the job duties so hard to follow ? They are sent to REPRESENT their constituents, NOT the world !
Spot on!
And their districts and States, not just Puerto Ricans. Super weirdo stuff. German American are the biggest self reported ethnicity.... Can you imagine if Senators and Congressman and Women made special statements only to German Americans? It's very strange how there are different standards based off of race and so forth. This country has become a Woke Joke!!
Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.
Puerto Ricans are part of the United States..both the huge amount of PR’s in her congressional district and the country of PR.
I know that racism can make it hard to understand the brown people from the island are US citizens though
@@justamurse5646 she DOES NOT represent Puerto Rico. She represents one district in New York. That is it.

@@Carlos-sy8hz😂😂😂. I suppose so. I guess there’s more than one way to be a dirty little hoo-wah
I’m an AOC fan, but I admit this was clever. Misogynistic, but funny.
Dumber than a box of rocks…
Speak American!
Omg 😂😂 Her Spanish sounds so forced. She made a HUGE effort to just pronounce that super simple phrase
As a Hispanic she’s a shame. They have totally thrown away the real meaning of the quote of the great MLK “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Go figure that out.
💯 percent
Me lo dice
Highly agree with you
AOC earned two degrees, cum laude, in international relations and economics. she worked as a bartender. as a former bartender i can tell you that she understands people. dealing with drunks is an education.
she's qualified, far more so than empty g, lowrent boobert, gosar, gym jordan, matty the pedo gaetz, kennedy, grassley, ad nauseum.
i've always heard that ignorance is bliss. if that's true why are you yahoos always so angry?
@@jessestreet2549 a degree doesn’t mean that you’re smart snowflake
The Puerto Rican community does not clain her.
Stop lying foo😂😂😂😂
They don't clain her?!😂😂😂
clearly this is a reference to 2008 presidential candidate, Jom NcClain

Clain

Can mean anything you want.
Ex: Your a stupid "clain" or Haha "clain".
Yo faaaail lmao clain?
As a Spanish speaking person. I have no idea what she just said. She is fake
That smug look like she pwned ppl
I'm Puerto Rican but I disagree with everything AOC .
Who are the people that are voting for her?!?!
Most people who like free stuff
Nobody knows for sure. They mail out millions of ballots, then people like her are elected. Nobody knows what happens in-between.
@@renellwhite9315 Exactly. I'd argue those are the ONLY people who actually vote for her. It is sickening.
They’re not. It’s being stolen. CA and NY blue cities perfected the steal. She’s been installed.
People that have enough brain cells to communicate in one or more languages.
I'm somali 🇸🇴and we support Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 independence ❤✊🏿
Too bad Puerto Ricans don’t. They’ve had three votes on it so far and independence failed every time.
I speak Spanish. I will NEVER understand why some Hispanic Americans act like speaking Spanish is some kind of profound thing, like it's a romance language, or it speaks for itself or some shit. As if somebody who doesn't speak Spanish is supposed to feel moved by the way you said "I'm Puerto Rican" in Spanish. This is hugely arrogant from AOC.
