Despite being losing the most heavily financed senate campaign in American history to Texan Ted Cruz, Beto O’Rourke recently announced he would be seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. Losing a senate race would not seem like the best track record to seek the highest office in the land. Unfortunately, few in the crowded field of Democrat hopefuls have household name strength, and even some of those are not well regarded.
Liberal Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren seemed like a White House juggernaut with Hillary out of politics. Then, her Native American heritage claims were proven false, causing her popularity to tank. So it goes with California Sen. Kamala Harris after it became known that she leveraged an illicit affair to gain wealth and political power. In New Jersey, Sen. Cory Booker humiliated himself during U.S. Supreme Court hearings claiming a fake “Spartacus moment.”
With a debacle of candidates who look more like buffoons than the next leader of the free world, Beto O’Rourke needs only to realistically contend with “Crazy” Bernie Sanders popularity and, perhaps, ex-Vice Pres. Joe Biden from the failed Obama years. That being said, these are four things you should know about Beto O’Rourke.
1: Beto Plays Fast and Loose with Southern Border Truth
Out one side of his mouth, Beto has gone on the record assuring moderates he is not one of the hard left extremists who want open borders. Out the other side, Beto says he would tear down existing border walls. The question remains: Which is true?
The answer depends on who Beto has in front of him when you pop the question about border security. For instance, when Beto was interviewed by the far-left media outlet MSNBC about the El Paso border wall, he said, “Absolutely, I’d take the wall down.” Beto went on the claim that barriers don’t provide security. Ironically, he was surrounded by high fencing and security detail at an El Paso counter-rally to President Donald Trump’s when he made those remarks.
2: Beto Joined the End of Days Climate Cult
Few would deny that excessive CO2 emissions and allowing pollutants into our environment isn’t a problem. But climate change concerns began to morph into a death cult after former Vice Pres. Al Gore said the world would basically be ravaged to its end in 12 years. But when the temperature didn’t increase significantly, and the drop-dead date passed harmlessly, the youths who grew up being spoon-fed climate change extremism have now loosely formed an End of Days climate change cult, and their spokesmodel appears to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC).
The upstart Democrat congresswoman from New York recently proposed a Green New Deal that would down planes, demand people eat only vegan and ban automobiles. Her plan would bankrupt the country to the tune of $92 trillion. But Beto is making a name for himself as the kind of politician who will say whatever he thinks people want to hear. At his presidential announcement event, he stood alongside AOC and embraced the death cult.
“I haven’t seen anything better that addresses this singular crisis we face — a crisis that could, at its worst, lead to extinction,” O’Rourke said about the Green New Deal.
3: Beto Wants to Take Away Gun Rights
The former Texas congressman has been nothing if not a liberal opportunist. He floats with the prevailing winds of the Democratic Party’s popularity polls. It’s no surprise that rather than travel to Florida after the Pulse Nightclub massacre and lend a hand alongside conservative organizations, Beto joined anti-gun liberals to hold a 1960s-style sit-in on the U.S. House floor.
His stance, consistent with the far left, is to limit concealed carry rights and strip away the reciprocity laws that allow citizens to travel with firearms. He has also advocated for a ban on all semi-automatic weapons, large-capacity magazines, and other restrictions. Beto is no friend of the NRA or Second Amendment.
4: Do the Math: Beto Nothing More than Double-Talk
Voters who follow Beto’s policy positions are likely to discover that he will say and do anything the extremists in the Democratic Party say is popular. This is in no way to be confused with determined leadership or ideological convictions. While conservative Americans may disagree with liberal icons such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders or even Pres. Trump on specific issues, at least they are walking the walk. His real name isn’t even “Beto.” It’s Robert. He made up that nickname. The man is nothing more than a snake oil salesman hoping to swindle voters and gain the power he is not fit to wield.

Beto is total joke. A millionaire telling me how to live. No way. A disgusting traitor to the constitution. Any one voting for this puppet of the nazi party doesn’t deserve to live in America. You fools would give up your rights for a dictator. He keeps his rights while you have done. Dumb down fools.
democrat SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTS are the real joke. You can add any of the “USEFUL IDIOT DEM’S” to the list, along with the FAKE NEWS propaganda CROWD!
Beto O’Rourke, everyone can see that you are a high financed loser an d a talking, hand and finger pointer and a phony baloney.
If that isn’t the truth about beto then I don’t know what is. He is definitely a snake in the grass. What a heck of a whopper lie he can tell.
This jerk was a member of Congress. What are his lists of accomplisments? He was a do nothing lib then why would we expect any difference now. A leopard doesn’t change there spots?
Typical leftwing A**hole wannabee.
Beto — you are worthless
Beto O’Rourke is just another Soros plant trying to become President. He is Rubbish, talks out of both sides of his mouth Double News Speak shades of the Brainwashing in the distopic Novel 1984. He is of his father the father of lies.
“Beto” is living proof that some people can never come off of Ritalin in chronological adulthood.
I already know he’s a spastic, no nothing leftie with delusions of grandeur. Do I really need to know anything else??? BUILD THE WALL, DEPORT THEM ALL, MAGA, OR ELSE!!!
That’s what politicians do all the time. Talk out of both sides of their mouth. To see the line up of Democrats makes me sad because not one of them could EVER stand up to China, NKorea, the Saudis. They are all jokes and would have us in many wars and we would be set back 25 years ago. They are all wimps who don’t KNOW what the truth is. Bernie and Joe Biden probably would need a lot of depends, pills to get up and pills to put you to sleep. In between they would need a couple hours to rest. I have never been so ashamed of a party in our government as I AM IN THIS Democratic Party. They all want to take America out of the the World class number one and put us backwards 50 years. Cory is a joke, and now, all of a sudden has a A GIRLFRIEND??? Kamala slept her away to the top with the likes of Willi Brown and also wants no border wall, couldn’t talk up the, again, the Koreans, China, Saudis. Joe couldn’t do it, he is a 70 y. old wimp who likes young girls to stand in front of him, and nothing more than another OBAMA>. For some reason, Joey loves Obama? Bernie is going to have either a heart attack or a stroke. Also carry extra handkerchiefs to take care of the spittle. Then we have people we have NEVER heard of and don’t sound like a president. The Dems are in Deep TROUBLE and no agenda
I went to school at UTEP and therefore lived in liberal El Paso back in the 60’s. Obviously, El Paso del Norte is still as liberal it was then. It’s more CA than TX. Sr. O’Rourke speaks out of both sides of his mouth. The old politician style is still inbred in him. He’s one of those who would say things like, “well privately I’m for so and so. but publicly I will go with the crowd.” He’s as two faced as they come, typical El Paso democrat.
What a goofus he is!
O’Rourke needs to crawl back under the rock he came out from under. Only the loony left could embrace this fool.
Must be another “slow news” day… in other words, news for the slow.

VETO BETO!
BETO BERNIE HARRIS WARREN BIDEN COKER ALL NEED TO BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE. ALL CORRUPT PEOPLE
THEY WILL DESTROY OUR GREAT NATION IF THEY ARE NOT GONE FOR GOOD.
WE GOOD PEOPLE OF AMERICA WILL VOTE OUR GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP 2020 100%. HE HAS MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. HAS HELPED THE PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS AND ALL COMMUNITIES.
I don’t know. I want to believe I’m open minded and can listen to all sides, but when they’re as crazy as the dems seem to be nowadays, I just wonder what the hell is going on! When I saw this O’Rourke guy standing on a counter in a restaurant, a surface upon which PEOPLE EAT, I almost lost it. I’ve started ignoring what he says because it just doesn’t make any sense, but then that’s the way it is with a lot of candidates nowadays. But this guy sounds almost DANGEROUS! Luckily I don’t think he has much of a chance with the crowds of “candidates” the Dems are flashing at us! And hopefully the American public has more sense than to listen to any of them!
beto (fake mexican) does talk out of both sides of his mouth. ie….says the border wall will not be built on the border, but well inside the border and ranchers lands will be stolen to do it. now as I understand it, the fake mexican did the same for his father or father in law. what a phony asshole
What harshly BS judgements from the Hard Right, every one.
Ideological BS commentary, non-stop.
“… a snake oil salesman hoping to swindle voters and gain the power he is not fit to wield.”
In other words, Barack Obama in white-face.
