An Arizona mayor made headlines for his outburst over receiving a bilingual U.S.-Mexico Border Mayors Association meeting invitation, saying he refuses an invitation “in Spanish/Mexican.” Mayor Ken Taylor of Huachuca City, Arizona, used divisive rhetoric strikingly similar to the derogatory tone that has fueled Trump’s campaign since day one.
“I will NOT attend a function that is sent to me in Spanish/Mexican,” Taylor said in an email to former El Paso, Texas, Mayor John Cook, executive director of the association.
“One nation means one language, and I am insulted by the division caused by language,” Taylor wrote.
