Beto O'Rourke blames Biden for more Texas Latinos voting GOP: 'Didn't spend a dime or day' in border region

AUSTIN, Texas – Beto O'Rourke, who is facing off against Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in November's election, said that the rightward shift of Latino voters in recent years is partly due to a disregard for the demographic by Democrats.

"Candidate Biden didn't spend a dime or day in the Rio Grande Valley or really anywhere in Texas, for that matter, once we got down in the homestretch of the general election," O'Rourke told a crowd at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday. "You got to be locking eyeballs with the people that you want to fight for and serve and whose votes that you want to win."

Did Beato actually use the Un-pc term of “Latino”?

As opposed to the “correct term” of “LatinX”?

I’m sure things would be great if Beto had won in 2020.

The fact he’s running in a state with such a massive Hispanic population means he can’t get away with “Latinx,” that’s a term Hispanics generally detest.

Ergo, it’s more something you’d hear from a leftist in a state with almost no Hispanics, like Bernie Sanders in Vermont.

They think they can bribe the Latinos to vote Democrat by giving them “free” stuff.

He’s only saying this to try to fool those gullible enough to believe that he’d go against anything that his Demonrat handlers tell him…this is all for show…

Brandon will be two years in to his false illegitimate presidency at the end of January.

It’s not yet been 2 years!? It feel like 10.

Is he talking about candidate Joe Biden during the 2020 election? If so I know what happened. Texas was going to go for Trump by a comfortable margin so Biden and Democrats decided not to spend any time in Texas.

Beto also forgets that Biden didn’t do many campaign appearances at all that year. He mostly campaigned from his basement.

I would pay to hear that Beto was a victim of an MS13 attack. It might bring justice back to enforcing our immigration laws on the southern border.

Not just that the Democrats push socialism but....gay stuff, transgender stuff, drag queen story hour, anti-gun, crushing the middle nad working class with high gas prices and high taxes.

This doesn’t fly with them.

Beto should be glad Joe didn’t come to Texas. Otherwise, he’d be even further behind.

Imagine being a Latino or Latina and running into this milk-bottle American with Irish ancestry claiming to be "Beto". I wouldn't vote for a Democrat like him either.

I'm surprised one of them hasn't beaten him with his own skateboard.

Kind of hard to lock eyes with a guy who is either wearing Aviators or just squints.

Agreed, but “locking eyeballs” is such an unusual metaphor. Perhaps he should stick to flapping his arms like a maniac and dropping F-bombs in front of children. These strategies have been very effective in his prior races
