Meet @MexicanMitt: Mitt Romney's Fake Twitter Alter-Ego

In case you haven't heard, Mitt Romney is the most Mexican man in the world. And we're not talking about his father being born in Mexico.

In a new parody Twitter account, Romney's fake alter ego, @MexicanMitt, tweets in Spanish and English about some awesomely outrageous things, namely about his Mexican-ness.

@MexicanMitt describes himself as "the most Mexican man in the world!" We're pretty sure this would make papa Romney -- George Romney --proud. Mitt Romney's dad was born in 1907 in an American colony in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. So, yes, Romney Jr. is eligible for dual citizenship: American and Mexican.

But Mitt Romney (the real one) doesn't ever sound half as enthusiastic about his Mexican heritage as does his alter ego @MexicanMitt. Perhaps it's that extreme patriotism or the fact that he promises to paint the "White House BROWN, cabrones!" that has earned him such a following. The Twitter account was launched this Wednesday morning and already has over 500 followers.

To celebrate his 400 follower milestone, @MexicanMitt tweeted "400 PINCHES FOLLOWERS! One for each person I fired today! AJUA!" We're sure that number is going to grow, with hundreds (probably thousands) of followers to come. The real question, of course, is whether the real Mitt Romney will be able to attract as many Latinos in the 2012 elections.

@MexicanMitt is not the first alter-ego Twitter account linked to a politician. @ElBloombito, Mayor Bloomberg's fake Twitter account with tweets in broken Spanish, has been around for many months now with over 28,000 followers. The account was inspired by the Mayor's attempt to speak Spanish during press conferences. And it looks like @MexicanMitt and @ElBloombito might already be cyber friends. @MexicanMitt tweeted, "Mi Compadre from another Madre!"

There is no word yet on the source behind this Twitter feed. Ni modo.

SOME OF @MEXICANTMITT'S BEST TWEETS:

• Herman Cain

  On his recent campaign stop in Miami, Herman Cain took some time to try some Latino cuisine, and offend a few Latinos along the way. After biting into a croqueta at Miami's famed Versailles Cafe, Cain asks, "How do you say delicious in Cuban?" Cuban, as many know, is not a language. In Spanish, however, delicious is <em>delicioso.</em>

• Barack Obama

  "I was born in an island and I understand that food, gas and everything else, is more expensive. Puerto Rico has the right for a better future. My plan offers new incentives to restore the 40,000 job which have been lost and invests in the education of Puerto Rican kids. This coming July, it would be an honor to count with your vote." Obama is really pushing for the Puerto Rican vote. He visited the island in June of 2011. The first president to visit Puerto since John F. Kennedy in 1961,<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/10/us/politics/10rico.html?pagewanted=all" target="_hplink"> according to NYTimes. </a> Keep your eyes and ears open for the next spanish speech by Obama.

• Jackie Kennedy

  "Dear Friends, this is the wife of John F. Kennedy, candidate in the U.S. presidential election... When world peace is threatened by communism, it's necessary to have a leader in The White House who is able to guide our destinies with a firm hand... Long Live Kennedy!" 1. No need for introduction. As if the entire world didn't know who Jackie Kennedy is. 2. It's nice to see she's friendly with latinos and 3. Given the Trade Embargo with Cuba has been firm since 1962, we're guessing that Miss Kennedy's spanish speech wasn't exactly detrimental to her husband's campaign.

• El Bloombito

  Oh yes, that day Bloomberg so kindly "summarized for the spanish speaking audience" the city's plan to clean up after Irene and inspired one of the best twitter accounts of all times: @ElBloombito. The twitter account mocking Bloomberg's spanish has over 25,000 followers. The hilarious spanish-speaking alter ego was created by Rachel-Figuero Levin. "The Spanish is just so blatantly hilarious,"<a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/128711298.html" target="_hplink"> she said to NBC New York.</a> "It's the diction. It's the pronunciation. It's the accent." To @ElBloombito account, Bloomberg responded from his personal Twitter account "It's hard to learn a new language at age 69", according to NBC New York. Follow <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ElBloombito" target="_hplink">@ElBloombito </a>here.

• Hillary Clinton

  "Si Se PuedA!" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, got her protest chant a little mixed up. "Si Se Puede!" ("Yes It Can Be Done") was the motivating slogan first popularized by Cesar Chavez back in the 1960's when referring to social change for immigrant workers.

• Jeb Bush

  "This diverse community with energy with, uh, uh, great potential and possibility of advancing our country, is going to be the one that decides the elections. And if we fall behind because we dont do the effort and or we're being irrespecutful, or whatever, then, that's lack of common sense." So, essentially, you need the latino vote Jeb?

• Craig Romney

  In Mitt Romney's ninth spanish-language television ad, his son Craig spoke to Latino audiences about his father's beliefs and origins. "I would like to tell you how my father, Mitt Romney, thinks," <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/craig-romney-mitt-mexican-ad_n_1682238.html#slide=1165327" target="_hplink">Craig Romney says in the ad, translated to English by the campaign.</a> "He values very much that we are a nation of immigrants. My grandfather George was born in Mexico. For our family the greatness of the United States is how we respect and help each other, regardless of where we come from."

• Barack Obama

  Just a week after announcing his decision to halt deportation for some undocumented young people, President Obama <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/22/obama-naleo-speech-immigration_n_1619126.html" target="_hplink">spoke at the NALEO conference</a> and schmoozed away with the Latino audience. "Que placer estar aqui con tanto amigos!" ("what a pleasure being here with all these friends") said Obama at the beginning of his speech.

Just saw a commercial of mitts saying" that beating Obama is the most important issue" well if Mitt thinks that is the most important issue then we should take note to what his aggenda is. more important I guess than jobs, homelessness, dept ceiling, just to name a few. what we need is a pressident who will work hard to fix the mess we are in. We don't need another millionaire in office just to keep the rich richer, We need a person who will work for the people and keep our country growing strong like back in the 80s thru till 96 when housing was going strong and the national dept. was down. We need to stop allowing these Companys to take the jobs out of our country and keep the jobs here at home, and stop all the imports by making the stuff we need and use rite here at home, and make a higher tariff's on stuff we import from companys that took the jobs out of our country. we need to wake up and stop listening to all this bullcrap the government feed us. Don't forget they are supposed to be working for us.

Where is Romney's Birth Certificate?? Was he born in Mexico. His dad, grandad and family lives in Mexico. So where was Romney born? With his Mexican heritage we can forget about him doing anything about Illegal Immigration. Just like President Reagan did___Romney will also give all the Illegals USA citizenship. A Vote for Romney is a Vote for Illegals.

He doesn't have any Mexican heritage. Some people from his family went there to live in an American mormon colony, and then left again. We might even stop to ask if they were illegal aliens...in Mexico!

Judging from his gutter mouth and his juvenile, low class barrio sense of humor, Mexican Mitt sounds more like Dick Cheney than Mitt Romney.

[Root Beer]

07:44 PM on 01/13/2012

Neither evita1123 or afinch9 make any sense here. Neither Dick Cheney (as despicable a man as he is) nor Obama are publicly gutter-mouthed.

Careful; about using foreign languages Mitt. Obama will be saying you are speaking some non existent language. Like Austrian.

He vowed to veto the Dream Act if it passed the Senate and he is against Immigration Reform and he's wooing Mexicans for their votes? I'll say this for him, he's got a lot of nerve and cajones.....lol.

Congressional Record (House) June 14, 1967
“I find no proper legal or historical basis on which to conclude that a person born outside of the United States could ever be eligible to occupy the Office of the President of the United States. In other words, In my opinion, Mr. George Romney of Michigan Is Ineligible to become President of the United States because he was born In Mexico and is, therefore, not a natural-born citizen as required by the United States Constitution.”

“The big question is this…how did George and Gaskell Romney get their US Citizenship back if they still had it at all? If Gaskell (son) and Miles Park Romney (father) who were both Mexican citizens how could they transfer US Citizenship to George Romney? Mitt Romney, however, may be a birthright baby because he fell under the 14th Amendment (I doubt they were under the jurisdiction of the US) but it is absolutely clear that Mitt Romney is NOT a Natural Born Citizen unless he can prove that George Romney gained citizenship from naturalization prior to Mitt’s birth in 1947. I have found no records showing this to be the case.”

The Romneys returned to the United States in 1912 to flee the violence of the Mexican Revolution.
Thus George Romney was a citizen-at-birth of the United States by jus sanguinis, or the Law of the Blood. He did not need to apply for naturalization.

Mitt Romney also had a mother. Only one parent has to be a US citizen for there child to be one as well.

Not true I born to two US born Citizens but was born in a German Hospital due to my father being in the Army. I had to be naturalist as a child and can not be President

If an article about Commisar Obama appeared like this, you libs would go crazy. The first charge, of course, would be racism.

[cbsguards]

04:50 PM on 01/13/2012

You mean more articvles like that. The birthers said alot worse things and Trump still says stuff

[grampz05]

09:50 AM on 01/14/2012

First of all, this Huffington Post didn't have a big article about it and, secondly, the birth certificate was a legitimate question when the Commisar refused to produce it at the time.
