Congressman Paul Ryan

Speaker of the House

1233 Longworth HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Speaker Ryan,

I want to be the first to congratulate you on your bravery and your principles!  There aren’t many people who have the cojones grandes*  to go toe-to-toe with President TRUMP.

*I speak a bit of Spanish so I’ll translate for you.  Cojones grandes means giant testicles.

Remember when President TRUMP called Haiti and African nations “shithole countries”?

Well, I’ve never been prouder of you than when you said:

“Donald TRUMP, your mouth is the foulest shithole in the world. With what authority do you proclaim who's welcome in America and who's not. America's greatness is built on diversity, or have you forgotten your immigrant background, Donald?”

You are a true American patriot, Speaker Ryan.  You have….

What’s that?  You didn’t say that?  Oh yeah, right.  That was former Mexican President Vicente Fox.

When you were asked about TRUMP’s remarks, here’s what you said:

“He said a lot of things yesterday, which one are you talking about?”

Okay, so maybe you don’t have cojones grandes.  Maybe they’re more like pelotas.**

**Pelotas are balls too, but they’re more like the kind you throw or kick or hit with a baseball bat.

But then you said something that made me think, Paul Ryan, you’re more than a patriot!  You’re an American hero!  Here’s what you said:

"SHAME ON TRUMP! The world is witnessing a new low today with his shithole remark! totally unacceptable! uncalled for moreover it shows a lack a respect and IGNORANCE never seen before in the recent history of the US by any President! Enough is enough!!"

What’s that?  You say you didn’t say that either?  Oh yeah, right.  That was Prime Minister of Haiti, Laurent Lamothe.

After you figured out that the reporter was asking about TRUMP’’s “shithole” remarks, here’s what you said:

“First thing that came to my mind was, very unfortunate.”

I think we’d better downgrade your pelotas to pelotitas.***

***Pelotitas is Spanish for very teeny tiny balls.

But then you said something that made me think, “Paul Ryan not only has cojones grandes, that man has a backbone!”  Here’s what you said:

“I'm sorry, but there's no other word one can use but racist. You cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as 'shitholes' whose entire populations, who are not white, are therefore not welcome."

Wrong again?  Oh yeah, right.  That was UN human rights spokesman Rupert Colville who said TRUMP's remarks were "shocking and shameful" and went against the world's "universal values."

After you said the first thing that came to your mind was “very unfortunate,” the second thing that came to your mind was this:

“Unhelpful.”

I have a question:  Do you think a woman can have cojones?  The reason I ask is I’m starting to think the only Republican representative with any cojones is Mia Love from Utah.  Here’s what she said:

"The president must apologize to both the American people and the nations he so wantonly maligned."

But what does she know?  She’s from Haiti.

Sincerely,

Carl Estrada

P.S.  Do you know who really has cojones grandes?  Senators Tom Cotton and David Purdue.  They were in the room when TRUMP made his “shithole” comments and here’s what they said:

"In regards to Senator Durbin’s accusation, we do not recall the President saying these comments specifically.”

Now THAT’S cojones grandes!
