Colorado Governor Jared Polis faced backlash for releasing a video of himself singing “Feliz Navidad” in an attempt to connect with the state’s Spanish-speaking population.

The controversy arose amidst Colorado’s escalating migrant crisis, with Denver grappling with a significant influx of migrants, particularly from Venezuela, Colombia, and Guatemala.
