7. I thought Corey Booker would be on the list.

Maybe his pidgin Spanish episode was just too humilating?



However, seriously he has been very visible and vocal. A bit disppointed he isn' there...
As long as he doesn't try to impress Spanish speakers like Beto, I think he would do fine.

ETA: He's running for re-election in 2026. Maybe he doesn't want to distract from his re-election bid. Maybe in 2027, he will consider throwing his hat in the ring?

Some YouTube Comments:

Absolute raw unfiltered cringe
As a Latino this was absolutely hilarious.
He sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to speak Spanish 🤣🤣
Dude was speaking full reggaetón on us
OMFG! I just can't! His Spanish sounds like Dothraki or some Star Wars alien language
This was his I am Spartacus moment... Lol
this was a mixture of spanish, portuguese, italian but mostly idiotic gibberish.
Watched this with my Dad, we both couldn’t stop dying of laughter 🤣
I love his expression in the very beginning like his brain is working overtime
Yeah the spanish was pretty cringeworthy but can we talk about his eyes for a moment?
Did he learn Spanish from Nacho Libre?
Notice how his face tenses up speaking Spanish and then relaxes when he goes back to English. It’s like he had to use all his face muscles to get that done.


Gotta have a sense of humor these days!
