Democrat Beto O’Rourke, the Texas liberal who briefly ran for president in 2016 on an anti-gun platform, and who lost his Senate run to Ted Cruz in 2018, is back, this time with a run for the governorship of the Lone Star State. He opened up in a CNN interview on Sunday, arguing once again he is out to get the nation’s AR-15 rifles.
CNN host Dana Bash aired his past clip of saying, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15 and AK-47 and not going to allow it to be used against fellow Americans anymore.”
Bash then asked, “Is that what you would still do as governor of Texas?”
His rambling answer ended with an affirmative. O’Rourke’s conclusion was, “We should not allow our fellow Americans to own and use weapons that were originally designed for battlefield use that AR-15, that AK-47 has one single solitary purpose and that is killing people as effectively, as efficiently and great a number in as little time as possible.”
For someone running for the governorship of Texas, he might as well have gone ahead and conceded victory to current Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. Texans are known for being independent and caring about especially for their Second Amendment rights.
O’Rourke seems to have attacked both in one swipe.
The fanboy may pick up some cash from the Left Coast and grab more airtime on mainstream outlets, but nothing he does after those words will win enough votes to secure a victory in Texas.
He’s already proven he can’t win any elected office in the state. Having lost in 2018. And he gave up running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 before any of the primaries had even began. So why is O’Rourke running?
It’s a fair question. Why take on a battle you expect to lose? Some Republicans fear the same situation seen with Biden and Trump in 2020. The average American was largely for Trump’s policies, but he still lost. While it’s obvious there was some ballot harvesting by Democrats and voting machine tomfoolery that happened in a couple of key swing states, the greater argument for why Trump lost has been that too many Republicans didn’t show up on election day last year.
This is where O’Rourke feels he has an advantage. If he can mobilize enough Democrats to register and vote in the state, either early or mail-in or in person, he has a shot. This could especially be true with how many new people moved to the state from more liberal locations like California. California lost so many people to places like Texas that they lost an electoral vote and Texas gained one.
There’s a warning here for all Americans as the midterms are now less than a year away. The polls don’t matter much this far out. Unless enough people show up to vote on Election Day next year, Republicans will not win seats back from Democrats. The more people who show up, the more likely the true values of America will win out.
In Texas, this means Republican Governor Abbott will have to push harder than ever to make sure Texans register and show up in 2022. The same is true for House and Senate races nationwide. Don’t take the bait that “the big lie” means you should stay home. If you care enough about the nation to read articles and watch videos and talk and debate the issues with others, make sure you and everyone you can persuade shows up to vote on Election day.
If not, there could be a lot more O’Rourke’s running for office in the days ahead.
This fagot POS should be eliminated!!
YES, AND BIDEN TOO, With EXTREME PREDJUDICE !!!! F**K BETO !!!! F**K BIDEN !!! F**K DEMOCRATS !! and F**K YOU IF YOU AGREE WITH ANY OF THEM !!!!
Totally agree with you!!!
In my humble Opinion !
Peto O’Rourke is a first class “Moron”, go crawl back under the stone
you came out from.
You keep saying President Trump lost because not enough republicans turned out to vote, BUDDY YOU ARE SO FUCKING FULL OF SHIT, YOU KNOW WHY BIDEN WAS INOGGURATED IS BECAUSE THE DEMONS CHEATED THE ELECTION, GET THAT STRAIGHT YOU MUFFHEAD!!
EXACTLY !!!! THANK YOU BLAIR !!!
Pincha inbred , degenerate , asswipe Beto , has said that after eliminating long guns ,,,, he’s going after ALL handguns !!! This nitwit that accepts back door plugs , might be the one that does start a civil war !!!
Yep, What the dumb a– doesn’t realize, he is stoking the fires of another possible civil war, one of which he and his ilk will most certainly lose big time before it even gets off the ground. Their attempt to destroy the Second Amendment has utterly failed, and always will. The absolute best he could hope for in this regard would be a “Call To Arms”, and it would certainly work, but not to his liking. There have been many fools before him that have tried the same thing, and they too failed, the same as he ultimately will, as he hasn’t the brain-power to wipe his nose properly, less command a war. If he wants another civil war, he might find one, but not one that he could possibly command. Check your history, fool. Robert E. Lee thought he could, but he with his huge, highly-trained Army failed. What the hell makes you think you could succeed? Cemeteries are full of fools like you!
Beto Orourke , is Only catching his Breath after he pulled his Head out of his REAR QUARTER ???? ! He ain’t got a chance in *ell to get a Nomination. The Only thing he is GOOD for is Cleaning Beijing Joe Basement Bunker TOILET.
I wonder exactly who told this queer retard that he could get elected to anything at all !!! LMFAO !!!! This clown is beyond stupid !!! Kind of reminds one of Joe Biden !!!! FJB !!!
LET’S GO BRANDON !!!
Come and take it. I DARE you !!!!!!!

We have a God Given Right to protect ourselves in any way we choose and no government can take that right away from us. Everyone should learn the history of what has happened to the people who allowed their government to disarm them by watching the full length You Tube “Innocents Betrayed.”
