On Monday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show,” Knowles explains how the Democrat Party presidential candidates are pandering to their base by speaking in Spanish when responding to questions from moderators. Video and partial transcript below:
So, I’m watching this Democrat primary debate. I was playing the drinking game last Thursday. The Democrat debate drinking game where I pour a lot of booze into my cup and then whenever they start talking, I drink. It’s a pretty fun drinking game, I highly recommend it. I had deja vu all over again when that debate started. Because the second night of debate began in exactly the same way as the first night of debate, with Pete Buttigieg this time instead of Beto O’Rourke randomly speaking Spanish.
Why do you have to do that? This is America. We don’t speak Spanish here. Now in Buttigieg’s defense, he was at least asked the question in Spanish. The night before when Beto started randomly butchering the Spanish language, he just did it. He just voluntarily did it. In this case, the moderator Jose Diaz-Balart asked him. He said, “Buenos Noches! Mayoro Peto” or whatever, you know. So Buttigieg responded that way. This is very offensive. Jose Diaz-Balart should not be asking questions in Spanish. If you want to ask questions in Spanish of presidential candidates, then you should moderate debates in Spanish speaking countries. Anywhere in Latin America, South America, I guess not Brazil. You could go to Spain and moderate a debate, but not in America. We speak English here.
Now, Buttigieg doesn’t totally get off the hook here. If I were in this debate — I guess I was in this debate because Eric Swalwell was there, and I am Eric Swalwell. But, if I had been standing there in my own body and I was asked a question in Spanish, by Jose Diaz-Balart, I would answer in English and I would say also, Jose, I’d just like to ask that you ask questions in English here because we’re in America and I’m running to be president of the United States, not president of Mexico or of Guatemala or of El Salvador.
Now obviously the Democrats can’t do this because basically, the only tool they have left is racial pandering. Pandering to allegedly aggrieved victim groups. But the pandering got a whole lot crazier than just Buttigieg speaking in Spanish. The moderator asked a question of the entire panel. She said, “How many of you in your health care plans would provide free health insurance for illegal aliens?” Guess how many candidates raise their hand?
Spoiler alert, it’s all of them. Every single one of them raised their hand and told one hundred percent of potential voters that they would take their money and give it away to criminals. To people who their first act in America is violating our laws. I guess maybe not 100 percent of potential Democrat voters because of illegal alien voter fraud, motor voter, and digging up dead bodies in Illinois. So maybe not 100 percent maybe only ninety-seven percent of voters they were telling that. But that is really awful and it’s so easy to do. It’s so easy to say I’ll give away everything for free. Hey, do you want more free stuff? Yeah, I’m the “more free stuff candidate.”
But think about what that also says. When you give away something as valuable as free health insurance to any illegal alien who breaks our laws, you are creating an incentive to keep breaking the laws. So not only are they saying that they’re not going to secure the border, they’re not going to build the wall, they’re not going to get US border protection, in some cases they’re saying we need to decriminalize border crossing. They’re also saying we’re going to create a huge financial incentive for people to cross that border illegally.
Don’t forget, when you encourage people to cross that border illegally you are empowering some of the worst people on earth. Drug traffickers who are poisoning our entire country. Sex traffickers who are abusing women and girls. According to Fusion and Amnesty International and The Huffington Post, 60 to 80 percent of women and girls who cross that border illegally are raped along the journey. When you create that major incentive for them to do it, you are increasing the likelihood that that is going to happen. You are empowering the abusers and the predators who are preying on these vulnerable people.
