Beto: “Our Country Was Founded On Racism – And Is Still Racist Today”
Hot Air ^ | August 19, 2019 | Karen Townsend

Presidential primary candidate Beto O’Rourke has an unusual message for Democrat voters. America was founded on racism and America is still a racist country today, 243 years later. How’s that for an inspiring message?

Beto’s re-launch of his presidential campaign is off to a rocky start, just like the previous re-launches. This time around he’s gone to a dark place and now insists that racism in America is his primary concern. He went off on a tangent Saturday night as the speaker at the third annual Arkansas Democratic Party Clinton Dinner in Little Rock.

Beto is going full Cortex. He is destroying any political career in Texas besides being a back-bencher from El Paso. The funny thing is his statement is much more "true" for the founding of Texas than for the US. One of the biggest grievances of the slave holding Anglo Texas settlers against Mexico City was the banning of slavery in Mexico in 1829.

Bobby Frank, I have a grand idea for you: Move.
Why would you want to be president of such a horrible country? Go bless a Latin American country with your incredible insight on racial harmony. Perhaps you could make a bid for the top executive office in such a nation.

What an incoherent campaign platform; Hate America based on a lie.

I have to wonder if he’s stupid by accident, or deliberately?

He sounds desperate. I feel like the candidates are in a NASCAR race and he just got lapped by the entire pack.

Wonder who he believes this will persuade to vote for him that didn’t vote for Hillary?

Let’s see. If I come up with just three things that only 20% of voters support, I will win with 60% of the vote! Yeah. That’s the ticket.

How’s that for an inspiring message?

Almost as inspiring as watching sleepy Joe take a nap.

He also excoriated gun owners. NRA. And promulgated another bogus “assault rifle buy back program.” In Arkansas no less. Brave or stupid.

Racist …

Yes, a country with a "National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People", a "Congressional BLACK Caucus", a terrorist organization called "BLACK Lives Matter", a beauty contest called "Miss BLACK America", a cable channel called "BLACK Entertainment Television", a "United NEGRO College Fund" certainly is beset with racism.

And those black racists will happily kill you, Irish Bob. Your pseudo-Hispanic name won't help you.

I thought it was an anti tax thing. Maybe if you’re against taxes you’re racist.

Why are people still referring to the white cisgendered kind of heterosexual able bodied male Robert Francis O’Rourke as “Beto”?

Beto Magneeto is flaming out.

He has all the gravitas of a puling, spoiled teenager who has a grasp of history similar to what one would get from reading DC Comics.

If Beeto is even mentioned in a footnote of US History, it will be in the context of a flaming fart, blooming magnificently with a putrid stench for a mere instant, before being dissipated ignominiously on the fine Texas breeze of patriots.
