Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke doesn’t seem too keen on the tough-guy shtick adopted by some of his fellow Democrats.
In an interview with New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, O’Rourke took at shot at celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti, arguing that the attorney, who regularly battles President Donald Trump on Twitter, “does not represent” Democrats.
Avenatti is one among a chorus of Democrats who have twisted Michelle Obama’s “When they go low, we go high” credo from the 2016 election in an effort to appear tougher against Trump and the GOP this time around.
Avenatti’s version: “When they go low, I say we hit harder.”
Former Attorney General Eric Holder’s take: “When they go low, we kick them. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about.”
O’Rourke, a congressman who is running a tight race against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, apparently isn’t joining this Democratic fight club anytime soon. He said he wants to push away from the rough-and-tumble messaging.
“Avenatti does not represent us,” O’Rourke said to Bruni. “Eric Holder — what he said — that’s not where we’re at.”
O’Rourke added that “there is a real concern about civility — not for the sake of manners but for the sake of the country working.”(continued)

And when Holder said that he was campaigning for Stacy Abrams......his remark was greeted with applause and laughter by her supporters.

No the dude really doesn’t, but neither does Beto. Where did he get that stupid name, anyway?
A while back he was the Dems hero for attacking Trump so he is getting thrown under the bus since he is no longer useful to them.
That’s why people call him “Beta O’Rourke”.
His real name is “Robert Francis O’Rourke”.
“Beto” is his fake Hispanic name which he uses to appeal to ignorant voters.
“Michael Avenatti ‘Does Not Represent’ Democrats”
Funny how they has no problem with him representing democrats until things went south. Not one objection from the left.
For once I agree with O’Rourke. Antifa terrorists, illegals on welfare, and men in the women’s bathroom represent the democrats.
Avenatti is the voice of Democrats... crazy as a jaybird, corrupt, evil and just plain unlikable. He’s a perfect spokesman for the Dems.
Does too. Maybe you two can share a jail cell Beta.
I figured as much. He must think they are as stupid as he is. With a name like O’Rourke, he must think, Hispanics are incapable of figuring this out on their own?
The beginning of the Mob presidential primaries?
Does this mean he's a celebrity...or that he represents celebrities? If the latter, what celebrities does he represent?
Stormy Daniels, porn star, exotic dancer and escort.
O’Rourke went way off message. Not smart
That lead paragraph in Washington Post should read:
Texas democrat Party (in name only) US Senatorial candidate and supporter the invasion of illegals :Bla bla bla
He made it up himself in order to pretend to be Hispanic rather than Irish.
Call him Irish Bob, or “that hit and run drunk driver”
