Overview

  • The House Republican Conference posted a bilingual message on X, including a Spanish translation, emphasizing American potential and work opportunities.
  • Conservative figures, including Rep. Brandon Gill, criticized the use of Spanish, accusing the GOP of pandering and ignoring Trump's March executive order designating English as the official U.S. language.
  • Prominent commentators demanded firings over the post, with some questioning whether the account was hacked due to the unexpected language choice.
  • This follows previous GOP use of Spanish in January to congratulate President Trump and Vice President Vance on their inauguration.
  • As of May 14, the House Republican Conference has not addressed the backlash, leaving intra-party tensions and questions about language policy unresolved.
