Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine rallied with supporters in Maryvale on Thursday, lashing out against Donald Trump and some of Arizona’s most influential Republicans.
It was a standard campaign speech filled with familiar talking points. But as the only bilingual person on a 2016 presidential ticket, Kaine spoke entirely in Spanish.
The Virginia senator told the crowd there will be a place for everyone in United States if Hillary Clinton becomes president, and reiterated her promise to send Congress immigration reform within her first 100 days.
“That includes a path a to citizenship,” Kaine said.
Someone in the crowd yelled that her opponent, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, is a clown, and Kaine repeated it in agreement.
He also blasted former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer for questioning whether Latinos will vote.
And in keeping with a precedent set by his running mate, twice mispronounced the last name of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. When someone shouted Arpaio should go to jail.
“In his (own) jail,” Kaine responded.
Kaine praised Arizona for leading the country in early voting by Latinos, and ended the roughly 30-minute speech by giving the address of the closest poll for casting early ballots.
