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)

Beto-Booker 2020
Hey Robert Francis.....YES HE DOES!!
He’ll likely be Beto’s running mate in 2020.
Not anymore maybe.
One story is that his first name, Robert, is Roberto in Spanish and that hispanic people use the nickname Beto for Roberto.
I have know people named Robert and people call them Roberto just for fun, although they are not hispanic nor do they live in an hispanic area.
A large number in TX think “Beto” is an Hispanic, and we can’t convince them otherwise.
I call him Bob.
Beto damn sure does...he’s their poster child.
