Colorado Governor Jared Polis is going viral — for all the wrong reasons.
According to a New York Post report, Gov. Polis, 48, was shredded on social media for an acappella rendition of Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano’s Feliz Navidad.
Polis posted the video for his social media followers under his official Spanish X account.

“As cringe as this is, it doesn’t begin to compare to the damage you’ve done to this state,” one X user commented under the governor’s posts.
“This is one of the worst things I have seen all year. Who walked into your office and said that this was a good idea…?,” another questioned.
“Even the Latinxs are cringing,” one user wrote.
“This is ridiculous and you look as uncomfortable doing it as I did watching it. What was the real purpose of this?” one user wrote. “Because if I were of Latin descent, I would make fun of you instead of thinking, ‘Oh yeah, I’m going to vote for that guy.’”
“It’s cultural appropriation to pander in this manner,” another commented.
