Both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are trying to court Florida’s Latino voters ahead of next week’s primary. Romney has launched ads highlighting Gingrich’s remarks in a 2007 speech in which he called Spanish a “language of the ghetto.” Gingrich, meanwhile, has been forced to pull a Romney attack ad that compared the former Massachusetts governor to Fidel Castro after Hispanic leaders signed a letter of protest. For his part, Castro published an editorial in Cuba on Wednesday calling the Republican race “the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.” Also Wednesday, Gingrich criticized Romney’s comments that undocumented immigrants will choose to self-deport when faced with strict immigration laws.

Newt Gingrich: “You have to live in a world of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatic, you know, $20 million-a-year income with no work to have some fantasy this far from reality. Remember that I talk very specifically about people who have been here a long time, who are grandmothers and grandfathers, who have been paying their bills. They’ve been working. They’re part of the community.”

At the same campaign event, Gingrich was asked about his own history of extramarital affairs in light of his effort to impeach Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Newt Gingrich: “The fact is, I’ve been through two divorces. I have been deposed both times, under oath. Both times, I told the truth in the deposition, because I know that it is—and I’m not a lawyer. So, I know it’s a felony. Bill Clinton, who is a lawyer—I mean, he’s a Yale graduate, law school graduate—he knew he was lying under oath. He knew it was perjury. He knew it was a felony. And in fact, he lost his license to practice law in Arkansas as part of the deal.”
