The first Democrat debate kicked off Wednesday evening in Miami, Florida.
Bobby ‘Beto’ O’Rourke rattled off in Spanish when answering one of the debate questions.
Savannah Guthrie asked Beto if he would support a 70% marginal tax rate and instead of answering directly, he rattled off in Spanish.
“This economy has got to work for everyone and right now we know that it isn’t — and it’s going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does,” Beto said — then he began speaking Spanish but never really answered the question.
