Breaking down the most memorable moments from the first Democratic debate
Candidates send messages to Spanish speakers, Inslee slammed for touting abortion rights cred; Bret Baier has the night's notable moments.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., had some fun at the expense of 2020 presidential candidates Beto O'Rourke and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., on Wednesday night for their use of Spanish at the first Democratic primary debate.
Appearing on a live edition of "The Late Show," Ocasio-Cortez was asked by host Stephen Colbert about how spoken Spanish had a heavy presence in the debate, something she said she "loved."

"I thought it was humorous, sometimes, at times especially because of the content of the question," Ocasio-Cortez told Colbert.
The freshman congresswoman then teased the 2020 Democrats by suggesting they were using Spanish in order to avoid answering a question from the moderators.

"I thought it was a good gesture to the fact that we are a diverse country," Ocasio-Cortez added.
Ocasio-Cortez went on to praise Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro for their debate performances. She also warned those who are relying on former Vice President Joe Biden as the "safe choice," arguing his candidacy isn't a sure thing.
