Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), a 2020 presidential candidate, said that a "conversation" about reparations for the descendants of slaves should take place in "every community" and he committed to signing a bill to study the issue if Congress passed the legislation.

O'Rourke was asked if he would support compensation for the descendants of slaves. In his answer, O'Rourke explained that he discussed the reparations issue with Bryan Stevenson, a civil rights lawyer and political activist. O'Rourke said Stevenson explained that he might not be able to have a "Truth in Conciliation Commission like you had in South Africa" and "may not be able to force the coming together" that's starting to take place in Rwanda.

You don’t hear the right offering racially divisive legislation.
I understand the primary slide to the right, and the general slide back to center.

[EEGator]

There already is White discrimination.
Just look at hiring with corporations.

[PGalt]

A divide-and-conquer collectivist does not sell well in a republic of free individuals.

Beto is the vile aberration that has been spawned by that segment of America that has devolved into decadence and hedonism. Make no mistake. He does not exist in a political or social vacuum. Such creatures as Beto are numerous and he and others like him have a large constituency.

[windsorknot]

Bye, “Beto”. You won’t be signing any legislative bills.

Beto: "I would sell my soul to get the chance ro be your tyrant, your boss." < /s >

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Will we see a Biden / Beto ticket?
Or maybe a Biden / Booty-jig ticket?

"Beto’s lamentation...... “I am not Queer”

But he fantasizes about killing children. That's gotta count for something in Lefty Land.

Beto’s lamentation...... “I am not Queer”

Not that we know of.. but then again...

[Phillyred]

Big O’Dork has spoken.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The children and grandchildren of LBJ.

I detect a theme from the DNC:

"I would do "X" in a heartbeat, to destroy America and all it stands for."

[knarf]

Are we REALLY going to discuss something that never happened

again.

[Sacajaweau]

Securing the black vote...alinating the white vote.

aka....stuck on stupid.

[American in Israel]

Beto would sign his mom over for dog food if it would buy votes.

[AndyJackson]

Conservatives don’t pander to the right.

[mykroar]

That might be when I stop paying taxes.

[hal ogen]

The ONLY thing this oaf should be “signing” is his “voluntary commitment” papers for a mental institution.

[Redleg Duke]

And the vote buying of the permanent underclass (Democrat Slaves) begins!
