Sen. Tim Kaine checks a lot of boxes for Hillary Clinton
Scottie Nell Hughes, a CNN conservative commentator, did not appreciate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine speaking Spanish during a rallywith Hillary Clinton after becoming her running mate on the Democratic ticket.
While Hughes said she appreciated the multicultural aspect of the vice presidential candidates fluent Spanish speech, she believed that is the very thing that continues to divide America. We can all bring out our language, Hughes told her CNN colleague Wolf Blitzer. Melania [Trump] could come out and speak her five different languages, as well.
Hughes continued, But what Mr. Trump did, he spoke in a language that all Americans can understand. That is English.

Hughes appreciated the fact that she could understand everything that was going on at the Republican National Convention, but was worried she might have a different experience at theDemocratic National Convention.
Im hoping Im not going to have to kinda start brushing up on my Dora the Explorer to understand some of the speeches given this week, said Hughes of the DNC. Several commentators noted that several RNC speakers spoke Spanish at the podium in Cleveland this week.
Shortly after her controversial comments, Dora the Explorer began trending on social media and Hughes was under fire for bringing the beloved cartoon character into her analysis of Kaine.
First they came for Big Bird, then My Little Pony, and now Dora the Explorer, Janet Morris tweeted. Why do Republicans fixate on childrens programming?
