"Look, I can speak Spanish. This means I'm the right guy for the job." - Beto.
Why would Latins vote for Beta O'Dork? He's Irish.
Late-night hosts mocked Beto O'Rourke for his use of Spanish during Wednesday’s Democratic primary debate, even comparing him to an "embarrassing dad at a Mexican restaurant."
NBC’s “Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” namesake laughed at O’Rourke’s sudden shift to Spanish.
“Late Night” host Seth Meyers said that O’Rourke “settled” on the strategy to go bilingual as an attempt to stand out in the crowded field. “I mean, I knew he was going to bust out his Spanish, I just didn’t know it would be that quickly. Remember Beto, you only have one bullet so don’t fire until you see the whites of their-BANG.
Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah teased O’Rourke for knowing how to “spice up a bland affair” with a surprise outburst. “This guy was so fluent, I bet half of America thought they flipped to Univision by mistake,” Noah said.
CBS’ “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert called O’Rourke’s Spanish a “linguistic surprise,” questioning why he made the decision in the first place.
“He’s either trying to lock up the Hispanic vote or he’s running for embarrassing dad at a Mexican restaurant,” Colbert said before pointing out the closed caption simply said “speaking foreign language.”“Really got through, really penetrated,” Colbert sarcastically said.
