Elizabeth Warren got to speak first at Wednesday night’s Democratic debate and managed to work “Latinx” into her opening statement, but Beto O’Rourke upped the ante by delivering his opening remarks in Spanish.
We weren’t expecting that, and it looks like Cory Booker certainly wasn’t expecting to have to speak two languages. “I didn’t know this was going to be on the test ….”

Beto spewing his canned conversational Spanish 101 from the local community college.
You could translate it, “Please allow me to pander.”

I still can’t believe Beto broke out in Spanish to avoid answering the question. Beto as they say in Spanish: no
— Caroline Moss (@CarolineMoss) June 27, 2019
It's been like 10 minutes and I am still thinking about Beto speaking Spanish and Cory Booker's face.

I want a man who looks at me the way Booker looks at Beto while he's speaking Spanish

Beto started speaking Spanish and Booker was in the background looking, uhm, maybe perplexed is the word.

What’s Spanish for “Beto will never be president”
— Allum Bokhari (@LibertarianBlue) June 27, 2019
Guys we have the meme already. No one is paying attention to the answers anymore. Turn it off, Beto is also done. https://t.co/HioO3fHNTu
