[font size=5]Mark Halperin Apologizes After Asking Ted Cruz To Speak Spanish[/font]

.... Cruz said on Facebook Monday that he appreciated the apology, but he hadn't taken offense.

"Mark Halperin is a serious and fair-minded journalist," Cruz wrote. "Today he kindly issued an apology for some silly questions he asked me in an interview. The apology was unnecessary -- no offense was taken, nor, I believe, intended -- but is certainly appreciated."

For those still confused about how to tell whether someone is Latino, here’s a handy chart. Note, the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” are not exactly interchangeable. “Hispanic” generally refers to someone born or descended from a Spanish-speaking country, while “Latino” generally refers to someone born or descended from one of the countries of Latin America. Based on these criteria, Cruz is both.

Just because his father(not Ted himself) is Cuban doesn't mean he knows or understands the culture/language. Dude's never even stepped foot in the country. Cruz and Navarrette are both tools anyhow.
