Didn’t know this: Beto O’Rouke primaried an incumbent Democrat for his first House seat in 2012.

I'm reading this about "Beto" O'Rourke: "The Mexican nickname came in handy in 2012 when O’Rourke decided to challenge eight-term incumbent Democrat Silvestre Reyes in a congressional district that is 75 percent Mexican and just 2 percent Irish." Well, that explains it...

"Abbott knew there was a problem and did not do shit to fix it" - Beto curses at SXSW...that's in the video

edit: again: "when you hear bullshit about defund the police, it's Abbott who has made us less safe"

Beto: no, i would not take a million dollars from a CEO of an oil and gas company

interview: what about half a million?

*crowd laughs*

a few seconds later...

interviewer: make the case for legalizing weed

*crowd applauds*

Beto goes on long rant, saying finally: when i'm governor, we're gonna legalize it...Republicans like to get high just as much as Democrats

For your information. He is NOT a Mexican, Warren is NOT an Indian, and Harris is Not a Harris, she is an Emhoff. Why do the dems walk in a fantasy world?
 
The difference between then and now is that Robert Francis O’Rourke is not the unknown politican today that he was then. When he went for the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination people got to see the real O'Rourke and on the national stage no less he went all in with the Sander, Warren, Squad wing of the Democratic party. He won't be able to sell that agenda in Texas and he can't really walk away from it either though he will try.
