Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, R-Texas, challenged Republican rival Ted Cruz to a Spanish-language debate, according to Univision.

The Cruz team dismissed the “gimmick” from Dewhurst. “It’s no surprise that David Dewhurst would like to debate in another language,” Cruz campaign aide John Drogin told The Washington Examiner. “He wants to debate in a language that 99 percent of primary voters don’t understand to hide his claim that the Dewhurst Wage Tax isn’t an income tax or the claim that his $72 billion spending increase is a ‘cut.'”
