In one of the more awkward moments of the first 2020 Democrat debate, Beto flat our refused to answer the question if he’d support a marginal 70% tax rate.
Instead, Beto danced around without answering and even spoke several lines in SPANISH.
WATCH:
Savannah Guthrie asks Beto O'Rourke if he would support a 70% marginal tax rate
O'Rourke refuses to answer the question and starts speaking Spanish
Guthrie presses him again

Many on Twitter were not impressed.
So he decides not to answer twice and in two different languages while he panders at the same time. Bravo.
