Beto O’Rourke says he will campaign where Trump has caused the most pain

Beto O’Rourke said Thursday that he is returning to the presidential campaign trail for the first time since the Aug. 3 massacre of 22 people at a Walmart in his hometown of El Paso, but that the trail won’t take him to typical early-voting state venues.

Instead, O’Rourke said he is heading to those places in America most victimized by President Donald Trump.

“I want to be the kind of leader for this country El Paso has raised me and taught me to be,” O’Rourke said, speaking to a small audience of supporters and broadcast live on C-SPAN. “But as we head back on the campaign trail today, I know there’s a way to do this better. And that came to me last week.”

“Someone asked if I was going to be heading back to Iowa, go to the Iowa State Fair, corn dogs and Ferris wheels. And I said, no, I can’t go back for that. But I also cannot go back to that,” O’Rourke said. “The kind of challenges that we face in this country at this moment of crisis require an urgency, unless we want to reap the consequences of failing to meet them, consequences that we lived and I hope learned from in El Paso on Aug. 3.”

Hurt feelings, plastic straws, open borders and 45 genders... It’s like we’re running against an angry mean fifteen year old.
