I can already see the Trump nickname: Barrio Beto.

The party of inclusivity. Purple heart



Attacking Beto and his drunk driving issues is fine, but bringing his heritage into it, not so much. Very typical, GOP party leadership continuing to be gutter garbage as usual.

His Irish heritage wouldn't be notable if he didn't try to pass himself off as Hispanic via a nickname which was intentionally contrived to make him more electable in El Paso:

Quote from: http://archive.fo/2018.09.11-172939/https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2018-elections/2018/03/10/beto-orourkes-el-paso-roots-may-key-uphill-battle-ted-cruz#selection-5925.0-5925.378
In the backdrop of the city's multicultural community, his father, Pat O'Rourke, a consummate politician, once explained why he nicknamed his son Beto: Nicknames are common in Mexico and along the border, and if he ever ran for office in El Paso, the odds of being elected in this mostly Mexican-American city were far greater with a name like Beto than Robert Francis O'Rourke.

Beto O’Rourke drinking and driving, then getting arrested is not ok either. But it has nothing to do with why the tweet is offensive. Slam the man, slam his actions, regardless of what he did, even if he did the same thing, it still does not make it ok to bring his heritage into it. Pointing at someone else for one’s own actions is sh!tty and lame. This tweet is offensive, and nothing Beto or his dad or Clifford the big red dog’s fifth cousin makes it ok.

Yeah seriously he gets a chance to ask Beto f&cking O’Rourke a question, and he f&cking screws it up by asking some dumb@$$ $h!t.

Apparently he’ll be in Charleston. Wonder if a Joe Cunningham endorsement is forthcoming. Beto seems like he’d do good in his district both in primary and general.

Did James Smith win SC-01?

Unfortunately not
