You wouldn’t run an ad in Alabama with a narrator with a strong NY accent.
They didn't change the words at all just the accent read the article, if they had changed the words then okay sure can understand that changing JUST the accent is offensive.

Thus far you have failed to explain how changing the accent is offensive. Please enlighten us.

Go Biden!

By running these ads, Biden shows he's aiming to win over the Hispanics! This will make it easier for him to win the election!

When I was in London, I saw the ads in British accent. When I was in Sidney, I saw those same ads in Australian accent. And back home, same ads in my accent.

Yeah, what the heck was Coca Cola, McDonald, Starbucks, and those people thinking??!! They are so offensive!!

He doesn't even have to try. He and his fellow Democrats have been promising their illegal amigos amnesty for a very long time and sanctuary cities, healthcare and DL's for them. I guess pandering in Spanish is just the icing on the cake for them.

Default Biden runs ads in Spanish but with 3 different accents.

That's called targeted marketing - duh. Also, Spanish was the original language of 1/3 of the current United States before being annexed (California up to Texas up to Florida)

Why would Biden or any other politician have to pander to Hispanics in Spanish? In order to become a citizen you have to know English and only citizens can vote.

What does your last sentence have to do with today? We long ago made English our national de facto language not Spanish. Most Hispanics are bi-lingual English speakers anyway.
