Beto O’Rourke Randomly Starts Speaking Spanish Mid-Answer on Tax Rates

‘This economy has got to work for everyone — ‘

EXCERPT:

O'ROURKE: "This economy has got to work for everyone. And right now, we know that it isn’t. It’s going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does. [ Speaking Spanish ] Right now, we have a system that favors those who can pay for access and outcomes. That's how you explain an economy that's rigged to the corporations and the very wealthiest. A $2 trillion tax cut that favored corporations while they were sitting on record piles of cash and the very wealthiest in in this country at a time of historic wealth inequality. A new democracy that is revived because we returned power to the people, no PACs, no gerrymandering, automatic and same day voter registration to bring in more voters, and a new Voting Rights Act to get rid of the barriers that are in place now. That's how we each have a voice in our democracy and make this economy work for everybody."
