Watch the Republicans Yell at Each Other in Terrible Spanish
The dialogue during the Republican presidential debate on Saturday evening got heated. So heated, in fact, that it devolved into an entirely different language, giving everyone in the audience a fun glimpse at the Spanish skills of the candidates who want to expel many of this country’s Spanish-speaking residents.
It began when Sen. Marco Rubio challenged Sen. Ted Cruz, saying, “I don’t know how he [Cruz] knows what I said on Univision because he doesn’t speak Spanish.” Out spewed a torrent of lilted syllables from the mouth-hole of Cruz, triggering a chain reaction from the other candidates, a herd of geese squawking into the wind.

Naturally, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, hungry as ever for a chance to get in on the fray, weighed in on Twitter:
Necesitamos una presidenta que pueda defendernos de las propuestas de los republicanos. #GOPdebate
