"  Venezuelan actress Mar\u00EDa Conchita Alonso is coming under fire after appearing in a Tea Party campaign video with Tim Donnelly, the California assemblyman known for his strong opposition to immigration reform. The backlash has caused her to resign from her role in the Brava Theater Center&amp;amp;#146;s production of a Spanish-language version of &amp;amp;#147;The Vagina Monologues.&amp;amp;#148; &amp;amp;#147;We really can&amp;amp;#146;t have her in the show, unfortunately,&amp;amp;#148; Eliana Lopez, the producer of the show, told KPIX 5. &amp;amp;#147;Of course she has the right to say whatever she wants. But we&amp;amp;#146;re in the middle of the mission. Doing what she is doing is against what we believe.&amp;amp;#148; A number of listeners also called Spanish-language station KIQI 1010 AM in San Francisco threatening to boycott the play because of her endorsement.  The controversy is over Alonso&amp;#039;s appearance in a video backing Donnelly for governor of California, a politician known for participating with the Minutemen, a vigilante group of volunteers that patrol the border. He also attempted to overturn the state&amp;#039;s Dream Act. The bilingual ad shows Alonso translating Donnelly while holding a black chihuahua named &amp;quot;Tequila.&amp;quot; Alonso translates him incorrectly for comedic effect. At one point, Donnelly makes a statement attacking welfare and big government costs, to which she just translates &amp;quot;we&amp;#039;re screwed.&amp;quot; It most likely serves no purpose to Spanish-speakers, since Alonso&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;translations&amp;quot; are not informative at all. Latino groups argue the ad is full of offensive stereotypes. Watch the full video below:    Follow Ariel Nagi on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
