The most memorable part of Beto O’Rourke’s bilingual display was not him … but rather the look on Cory Booker’s face from a few podia down the row
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images During Wednesday night’s Democratic primary debate, Beto O’Rourke answered a question about the economy in both English and Spanish. The move was certainly a choice, and a calculated one: Spanish is the second-most-spoken language behind English in the U.S. — around 41,000,000 people speak it at home — and Beto is a candidate from Texas looking to garner Latinx votes.
The look, which one might call, let’s say, side eye, was noted by many Twitter users and promptly, gently memed. What was going through Booker’s mind? Perhaps he was puzzled by Booker’s response, which while in Spanish, was not actually an answer to the question posed by moderator Savannah Guthrie. Booker busted out his Spanish — also not technically great — during a question about immigration later in the evening.
Looking forward to seeing what NBC does with the closed captioning on Thursday night if Pete Buttigieg decides to bust out his Norwegian.
