Beto O’Rourke, the youthful Texan who gained a national following with his long-shot election battle against U.S. Senator Ted Cruz last year, on Thursday launched a bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.The 46-year-old O’Rourke, a former three-term U.S. congressman and a punk rocker in his youth, pledged to tackle “the interconnected crises in our economy, our democracy and our climate.” “This moment of peril produces, perhaps, the greatest moment of promise for this country,” he said in an online video.

It’s not even his real name.

Sorta like calling someone named Edward....Ted.

I’m sick of him being called Beto. It’s not even his real name. Just another part of the fraud that he is.

Be sick of him ... but for his politics, not a name he's had since he was a kid. He didn't just make that up. His dad called him that when he was little.

But yeah ... he is a fraud.

Is it common in the southwest to nickname boys named Robert “Beto” ?

I’m from the Great Lakes region and never heard it before.

[deport]

Keep in mind he’s had this nick ‘Beto’ since he was a small child.
It ties into his name Robert via the Spanish language even though
he has no Spanish ties. But in El Paso where he was it would be a
common nick.

Translation: VJ is backing Beto (only if he picks Booker for VP)

Beto F. fled the scene of a drunk driving incident. Kennedyesque.

[Track9]

His name is Robert. What the heck is beto besides some supposedly ‘spanish’ sounding thing.

[Track9]

Okay, now I get it. It’s short for Robert in Spanish.
Married to a billionaire and virtue signaling with commi talking points. Typical democrat. Fascism with a smiley face.

[deport]

BINGO

[MrEdd]

He has the noose of white privilege around his neck, and he welded his future to that of Elizabeth Warren when he fabricated his “Beto” cultural appropriation gimmick.

The left can hardly reject a woman guilty of cultural appropriation while giving a pass to a privileged wealthy drunkard.

The long knives from the rest of his party are already out on this matter, and his political future is already as good as dead.

He only was able to make the showing he did in Texas because Cruz is cut from the same cloth as Rubio.

[Bedford Forrest]

Now understand the poofter in the red shorts is Puto O’Rourke, NOT ‘Beto’. Just for the record

[punchamullah]

Beta is far more appropriate.

If he wins POTUS, maybe he can get the IRS to ignore his mama’s tax problems.

Little Bobby

A chip off of the O block.

Beto is what we called Bert in the Spanish version of Sesame Street. Sesame Street Beto gets screwed up the a** by Ernie. Politician Beto will be screwing America up the a**.
