Cory Booker's peeved reaction to Beto speaking Spanish at the debate is an instant meme

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

Cory Booker's just the whitest looking black man, he's like a bargain basement Mr. Clean with a little too much tan in a can.

Lile Jussie, someone poured Bleach on him.

Booker can combine black and Spanish in response to Beto.

Su Madre.

That would be Hawaii and one small part of CA. There are surprisingly few Americans of Japanese ancestry.

He should have responded with Ebonics.

Liz looks small and old and even more schoolmarmish here.

When I first saw that picture of Old Gray Beaver, the very first thought in my mind was ...

"Why is Snakehead Carville on the stage in a wig?"

Booker can combine black and Spanish in response to Beto.

Su Madre.

Wouldn't that be "Yo Madre"?

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.

 

Correct. Used to be Democrats considered blacks as second class citizens. Not any more. Hispanics are now second class. Blacks have been demoted to third class.

In a TV news show, I saw the Miami Police calvary patrol but no crowd to corral
I did note less horse-crap outside, than the bull-crap inside inside.

All these piggies go wee wee wee all the way to the senate.

Now that would be a funny SNL skit, then have Warren speak Indian, DeBlasio speak Russian, etc.

Fauxcahontas is a regular Wind Talker........all hot air.

“I am astonished that the debates set a 15M viewer record”

[justa-hairyape]

Should have spoke Irish.

Beto: Yo quero Taco Bell.
Booker: No mas.

See post 58. I was wrong. There were only 10M.
