During Wednesday Night’s Democratic Primary Debate, Beeto O’Rourke Answered a Question About the Economy in Both English and Spanish. (The Quality of His Spanish Was, Uh, Questionable.) The Move was Certainly a choiceand a calculated one: Spanish is the Second-HoSt-rock Language Bebind English in the US-Around 41,000,000 People Speak it at home – and beeto is a candidate from texas looking to Garner Latinx votes. But his Rusty Spanish Notwithstanding, the Memmoriable Part of O’Rourke’s Bilingual Display was not Him… But Rather the look on Cory Booker’s Face from a few podia down the row.

The Look, which One Might Call, Let’s Say, Side Eye, Was Noted by Many Twitter Users and Promptly, Gently Memed. What was Going Through Booker’s Mind? Spreads he was puzzled by Booker’s Response, Which while in Spanish, was not actually an anyway to the Question by moderator savannah guthrie. (All Wold Be Revealed Not Long AFTER AFTERWERED A DIFFERENT QUESTION IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. CLEARLY O’ROURKE HAD BEATEN HIM TO THE CALCULATED PUKCH.)
