Beto O'Rourke broke out into Spanish in his opening response to a question about a marginal tax rate of 70% on earners who make more than $10 million.
Booker later showed off his own language skills when discussing immigration. When asked about an image widely circulated on Wednesday of a father and his 23-month-old daughter who drowned in the Rio Grande trying to cross into the U.S., Booker responded in Spanish:"The situation right now is unacceptable. This president has attacked, has demonized immigrants. It's unacceptable, and I will change this.
Ryan said that without U.S. troops"engaged" in the Middle East"the Taliban will grow and they will have bigger, bolder terrorist acts." O'Rourke doesn't support decriminalization because of concerns over violent offenders coming across the border. "That's not true," Castro replied."I'm talking about millions of folks. A lot of folks that are coming are not seeking asylum. A lot of them are undocumented immigrants."
When each candidate was asked to name"the single greatest geopolitical threat facing the U.S.," Inslee declared:"The biggest threat to the security of the United States is Donald Trump.
