Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin defended former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish — or “Mexican,” according to Donald Trump — but also says that if you’re in this country, you should “speak American.”

“It’s a benefit of Bush to be able to be so fluent, because we have a large and wonderful Hispanic population building America, and that’s a great connection he has with them,” Palin said Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“On the other hand, I think we can send a message and say, ‘You want to be in America, A, you’d better be here legally or you’re out of here. B, when you’re here, let’s speak American.”

She went on to tell host Jake Tapper it is a “language that is understood by all.”
