Newt Gingrich has begun to launch devastating Spanish language ads here in Florida. He has attacking Romney’s slick Nativist tone against Hispanics under the guise of illegal immigration. Unlike other states The GOP does very well with Hispanic voters in Florida. Gingrich has massive support with Hispanic Republicans because he is against the Nativist tone and Illegal Immigration. Newt proves you can chew gum and walk at the same time on this issue. Just because a person is against Illegal Immigration, doesn’t mean you have to demonize a whole ethnic group. These ads are clearly hitting home and the GOP Establishment is in panic mode. In response, they have pressured Marco Rubio to condemn the ads.
Sen. Marco Rubio scolded Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign over a Spanish-language radio ad that accuses rival Mitt Romney of being “anti-immigrant.”
“This kind of language is more than just unfortunate. It’s inaccurate, inflammatory, and doesn’t belong in this campaign,” Rubio told The Miami Herald when asked about the ad.
“The truth is that neither of these two men is anti-immigrant,” Rubio said. “Both are pro-legal immigration and both have positive messages that play well in the Hispanic community.”[….]
So when Gingrich’s radio spot described Romney as “the most anti-immigrant candidate,” Rubio and others felt he not only crossed the line — he was adopting liberal criticisms.

Rubio bears no personal ill-will to Gingrich, who helped support him when Rubio was Florida House Speaker in 2007 and 2008. Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush are headlining a Friday Hispanic Leadership Network event where they’ve invited all the major GOP candidates. Gingrich on Monday night began airing a new, positive Spanish-language TV ad.
Marco Rubio, don’t sell out the GOP elites. They never will let you get near the Presidency. They look down on you as no better than a savage. That is why they are playing footsies with Nativists and questioning your eligibility to run for President. I know you want that high office, but kissing their ass is not the way. Fight them and stand with Conservative grass roots. The GOP Establishment are using Marco Rubio and his ego is too blind to see that. Wake up Marco!
