All is well with Mexico's independence celebration on September 15, except for Sergio Arturo Ojeda Castillo, deputy of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) Tamaulipas, who confused Mayor Josefa Ortíz de Domínguez with actor José María Ortiz de Pinedo.
A video circulating on social media shows the deputy holding a Mexican flag yelling the Mexican actor's name, though he tried to correct the name to Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez with the help of assistants.
Faced with this situation, the actor and producer reacted to the deputy's mistake and the meme circulating on social media.
What did the actor of the Family of Ten say?
It was the same report from the program where he is the main character who shared a meme where they put together the face of the actor with the face of the corregidor.
“Long live Ms. Josefa Ortiz de Pinedo, a brave family leader who sacrificed her own well-being to help ten hungry rebels,” shared the account of the Una familia de ten program.
Even his son Óscar Ortiz de Pinedo responded to a message with the meme on his social media. “Ah, wow… I didn't know my family was the hero of the country. Doña Josefa Ortiz de Pinedo… only in 4T,” her son shared.
