FULL TITLE: Beto Apologizes To Campaign Staff: ‘I Was A Giant Asshole To Be Around Sometimes’

2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke apologized to his campaign staff for being a “giant asshole” at times during his failed Senate bid, video released Tuesday shows.

In “Running with Beto,” a documentary premiering Tuesday on HBO, O’Rourke gathered with a group of campaign staffers to thank them before giving his concession speech after losing to Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the 2018 midterm election.

“I just feel very, very lucky, and I love you guys more than you’ll ever know,” O’Rourke said in the video obtained by The Daily Beast. “I know I was a giant asshole to be around sometimes, and you all never allowed my shortcomings to get in the way of running the best campaign this state has ever seen.” Cynthia Cano, his road manager, can be seen giving a slight nod after he calls himself a “giant asshole,” the Beast reported.

It is apparently a real video as the so called truth hacks have not protested.

No apology needed, Beto.
We like you just the way you are.

Beta O’Cuck can prove he’s not an asshole by repudiating all of his Communist beliefs and embracing sanity, Conservatism and Christ.

Low information content, but not as low information content if the headline said Buttipleugieg apologized for being a humongous asshole.

Beta is such a laughable disaster.

In a few days, he will hop on a table and again apologize for being white.

He's apologized to his campaign staff. Wow. That puts him way out ahead of Joe Biden, who won't apologize about a couple of things that really bother the leftards. This is the last PR gasp of an imploding campaign. Thanks Responsibility2nd.

Giant A—hole?
Maybe he’s kissing up to be Buttgig’s running mate.


Petey likes them tight.

He shouldn’t feel bad...

There are lots of giant assholes in our fair land, they certainly deserve representation.

Why apologize? It’s an ass-et if you’re a Democrat.

Master Beto, don’t apologize — just be yourself.
