“Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade delivered one of his usual quips Thursday morning, when he questioned whether he was watching Univision while asking Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about the effectiveness of Democrats’ use of Spanish during the debates on Wednesday evening.

“You saw the segue to Spanish by three candidates, is that effective in the Spanish community as you know it?” Kilmeade asked Rubio, who responded in Spanish.

“Am I watching Univision?” Kilmeade said with a laugh, referencing the Spanish-language television network.

“Sorry, wrong network,” Rubio replied. “Look I think the problem is they didn’t have answers to real problems. They didn’t have an answer in English and they didn’t have an answer in Spanish.”

Three Democratic hopefuls opted to answer questions in Spanish at the debate in Miami, highlighting candidates’ efforts to earn the Latino vote.

  2. how dare americans speak two languages! Shit Europeans speak 2-3 languages but, we can only speak 1 because we’re so superior!

    I dunno dumbass. Were you “watching Univision” back in 2016 when Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio started sparring with each other en Espagnol in the GOP debate? Was it effective back then?

    When you watch Fox or listen to the likes of Kilmeade you think they are translated from the original German.

  5. They had answers, Marco. You just didn’t like them. Meanwhile, waiting for you to have some intelligent answers to questions Americans have.
