Ana Navarro: 'Hombre and taco' are Trump's only Spanish words

Story highlights
  • Donald Trump described 'bad hombres' during Wednesday's debate
  • Ana Navarro is a Republican strategist and political commentator

(CNN) CNN contributor Ana Navarro didn't take too kindly to Donald Trump's controversial "bad hombres" line at the final presidential debate.

Asked by CNN's Carol Costello for her reaction to Trump's comment, which he made when outlining his stance on deporting undocumented immigrants, the Republican strategist and political commentator didn't mince her words.

"Well, first of all, I didn't know whether he had said 'hombre' which means man or whether he had said 'hombro' which means shoulder or 'hambre' which means hunger. I guess he was trying to be cute" she said

As for the Republican presidential candidate's command of the Spanish language, Navarro, who was born in Nicaragua, did allow one observation.

"At least now we know that Donald Trump has two Spanish words in his vocabulary. Hombre and taco," she said.

"Though I will tell you, I think, with a 13% favorability rating for Latinos, I think a lot of us would agree that Donald Trump is a bad hombre. And add, 'loco,' crazy, to that too," she added.
