Beto O'Rourke is back is the spotlight as Texas continues to face a statewide crisis.
Hundreds of thousands of Texans remain without power Thursday morning as millions more deal with burst pipes and other consequences of unprecedented winter weather. O'Rourke, the former 2020 Democratic presidential and 2018 Texas Senate candidate, has been making the TV rounds to call out the Republicans who've shifted the blame for the power shortages — and is organizing to check in on senior citizens throughout it all.
On Wednesday night, O'Rourke announced he and volunteers had made more than 150,000 wellness calls to seniors throughout the state.

I don’t believe Beto, in the city the might be doing this because it’s easy, but not for the country folks. My mom is literally iced in.
Nobody ever said that all Republicans are “politically smart”. Otherwise, they would control the White House and Congress.
Cruz was making sure his daughter would be safe in a gang-riddled city, Cancun. That is the duty of a father!
So very true.
Wow. You need a civics lesson.
Suuuuurree...
You liberal lovers been saying that for years!
Exactly. These armchair quarterbacks are talking out of their buttholes.
I love how are the non texans are whining about OUR Senator.
You know what we DON’T need in Texas right now?
Other so called conservatives attacking our Senator.
We have bigger problems.
“Wow. You need a civics lesson.”
The man is a Senator from one of the most powerful states in the Union. He can make things happen.
So FEDERAL government can do what the people,OR even local government, cant?
That's FEMA's job, that's what they do......
Who cares? Beto is a menace and he’s coming out a superhero compared with the tone deaf opponent
“We have bigger problems.“
Yes you do. But we need Cruz to stay in the senate as well.
Ted is who I supported in the Iowa caucuses.
He is incredibly smart.
He just had a brain fart and has admitted it.
Time to move on now .
