Issue: Reports that Hilaria Baldwin has been pretending to be Spanish, despite being from America.

Thank you for exposing Hillary Baldwin for the fraud she is (“It’s all bull!” Dec. 29).

If she is Hilaria, than I am Alicia — and at least I have all my degrees in Spanish.

Hillary is a double fraud since the main language in Mallorca, where she’s claimed she’s from, is a dialect of Catalan called Mallorquin.

Baldwin is a pretentious phony who cannot even do her research. No wonder Alec Baldwin is unstable.

I want my money back. Hilaria — ahem, Hillary — Baldwin lied to me, and I feel deceived.

I wasn’t born in Spain, like I thought Hilaria was, but I do have a Spanish passport and my parents are from Spain, and I spent all my summers there — so I related to her living in the United States and being so seemingly American but also Spanish. Just like me.

I understand Hilaria. She loves Spain. She gets it. She feels Spanish in her heart. But she is not Spanish, and her passing herself off as Spanish is wrong. It makes people like me, who admired her and felt a connection to her, thinking she was really Spanish like us, feel like we were lied to.

The “Baldwinitos” will revert to the Baldwin clan in my mind, but I do applaud their multiculturalism and bilingual upbringing and wish them all mucho, mucho amor.

I don’t know why The Post keeps going after Hilaria Baldwin. She is not the first to come to New York City and reinvent herself.

She is not harming anyone. In fact, she promotes healthy lifestyles. She appears to be a calming influence on her husband, Alec. That alone should earn her a medal of appreciation.

Re: Maureen Callahan’s commentary today on Hillarious — er, Hilaria: I can’t wait to see SNL’s skit on the controversy (“ ‘Spanish’ gal actually from the US? Oh, the Hilaria-ty!” Dec. 29).

I’m sure Lorne Michaels would love to poke a stick at his favorite Trump-hating cast member.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin are a perfect match — two professional phonies.

And the best part of this stupid story is Alec and Hilaria both lied to each other about being relevant. Neither one has anything good or positive to contribute to society.

Go and enjoy each other’s company — whoever you’re pretending to be at any given time.

The Issue: Rich Lowry’s column criticizing President-elect Joe Biden’s plans to fight climate change.

Although it is true that there has been an incremental increase in global warming over the last several decades, and that mankind has had a definitive role in this phenomenon, the Earth goes through cycles of overall hot and cold phases (“Joe’s Climate Hysteria,” Rich Lowry, PostOpinion, Dec. 22).

Though alarmists will disagree, the Earth is presently in a relative cold phase, as evidenced by ice caps at both the North and South Pole.

There have been more than a few time periods characterized by ice at only one cap — or at none at all.

In the 1970s, we were told that the planet was cooling and a new ice age was on its way. About 10 years later, it was evident that the Earth was slowly heating up.

There is a crisis, but it’s one of power-hungry politicians trying to panic the rest of us into giving them more power.
