He clearly says, “Well, as I’ve said repeatedly, that is a condition for admission, that people would and could speak both languages. But they would have to speak English. That would be a requirement. It’s a requirement that we put on other states as a condition to entering the union. If you’re going to participate as a state in the United States, then you need to participate in the language people speak in the states.”
He’s flat out wrong, of course. There is no such requirement. Moreover, along with Spanish, English is the official language of Puerto Rico. He was not only wrong on the facts but hit a trip wire on an issue near and dear to Puerto Rico — local control.
