Cory Booker's peeved reaction to Beto speaking Spanish at the debate is an instant meme
Mashable ^ | 6/27/2019 | Johnny Lieu

Ever felt threatened by someone else's fancy language skills?

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker seemed to feel just that during the Democratic Debate on Wednesday night, when rival candidate Beto O'Rourke flexed his Spanish skills first.

When Beto was asked if he would support a higher tax rate for top earners, he responded by stating that the economy needed to "work for everyone." Beto then switched mid-answer to Spanish, and Booker was caught glaring in his wake.(snip)

He also dropped an answer in Spanish later in the debate. But Beto got there first. It's like someone stealing your song at karaoke or wearing the same outfit as you. Booker's raw irritation

I would encourage anyone to learn multiple languages.

However, I find it rude to speak a foreign language in a majority English gathering.

Also there was a lot of pandering to Hispanics and less toward blacks.

Hispanics are now more important to Democrats than blacks ensuring blacks will remain at the bottom of the ladder.

Julian Castro was a hoot too.

Ya think hispanics are impressed? or insulted?

She is eyeing Beto so she isn’t out of step with their planned arm/hand routine.

I am astonished that the debates set a 15M viewer record, with four point something in the 25-45 demographic. Very scary. I had predicted the opposite. This potentially means a high voter turnout.

this IS frightening.. But then again we are fighting for our livelihood against stupid and those who really hate the world they live in.

They WANT a green light to kill anyone who disagrees with them despite their insistence on "LOVE EVERYONE EQUAL"

except the unborn, Christians, white heterosexual males, anyone with a good paying job who usn't in the entertainment industry, and anyone who paid their own way thru college..

Classic example of two psychotic people forced to confront each other. An Israeli jailer once related a story. It seems that the Israeli police have to take into custody many people who believe that they are indeed John the Baptist. Space is limited and often they have to share the same cell. Their reported reaction to each other was not unlike the reaction Booker had to Beto. There will be more of that coming soon.

That photo-

Beto’s thumb tuck, give me a break.

Booker is an exceptionally light skinned black man, light skin and green eyes. In this debate his makeup seems to be quite a few shades darker. Would you say he’s in blackface?
