Holy cow. I've seen arrogance and nonsense before, but Beto O'Rourke has reached a new high in both categories. When confronted at a town hall about his stingy charitable giving, Beto replied that his campaign appearances are a type of charitable giving! Think I'm kidding? Read for yourself:
Beto O'Rourke confronted at town hall about stingy charitable donations
Mind you, in 2017, this guy gave less than 1% of his considerable income to charity, according to his own tax filings. Specifically, he and his wife made $370K in 2017 and gave a grand total of %1,166 to charity! Wow! How generous! The student who confronted him about his Scrooge-like charitable giving pointed out that her sister, a recent college grad, gave more to charity than he did!
