AP mocked for report saying Beto O'Rourke spoke at rally 'in his native Spanish'
The Associated Press has faced some mocking on social media after a report over the weekend originally said that former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) spoke "in his native Spanish" during a rally.
"O'Rourke also spoke at length in his native Spanish, eliciting loud and sustained cheers," the original AP report from Saturday read.
The 2020 presidential hopeful, whose full name is Robert Francis O'Rourke, is fourth-generation Irish-American.
The report comes after O'Rourke officially launched his campaign in the border town of El Paso in a speech that focused heavily on immigration.
