Some people shouted at a commencement speaker this weekend after she gave a brief part of her remarks in Spanish and talked about presidential candidate Donald Trump — and many are still upset about it. People who were there said they heard people yell, “Get off the stage!” insults, a slogan for the Trump campaign, and commands to speak English. Maria Elena Salinas, an award-winning journalist who is an anchor for Univision, couldn’t hear what people in the crowd were yelling during her speech to graduates of the College of Communications at California State University, Fullerton, but said later that it spoke to how divided the country now is. “It’s really sad that people can turn such a special moment into a racial war,” she said. The whole speech was directed to everyone, she said. “I don’t think I insulted anyone by saying a few words in Spanish to the parents. … I think the message is, we have to cool down the intolerance right now, we really do. This is ugly, what’s happening in the country.”
