Donald Trump: ‘Dummy Beto’ Sank Gun Control Chances
Breitbart ^ | September 19, 2019 | A.W.R. Hawkins

Posted on 09/19/2019 10:17:11 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Donald Trump reacted to Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s gun confiscation talk by suggesting “Dummy Beto” sank any chances for gun control legislation.

Breitbart News reported that O’Rourke used the September 12, 2019, Democrat debate to say, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” The next day he elaborated on the statement, making clear that turning over AR-15s would be “mandatory” if his plan were in place.

On September 18, 2019, Trump tweeted: “Dummy Beto made it much harder to make a deal.”

He added that Beto’s comments “Convinced many that Dems just want to take your guns away.”

A memo of White House / DOJ gun control ideas became public Wednesday, showing requirements that closely resembled those contained in Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) gun control bill. Attorney General William Barr tried to get Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to support the push, but Cruz would have none of it.

What planet are you from? President Trump made some noises that caused the dems to go ape with hopes...and now he uses them as examples of why such gun legislation is not only a bad idea but a scary one.

I don’t understand the fruit reference.

I know I lost one of my true friends over the Armenian massacre, as the spouse WAS Armenian and didn’t like my content area (Islamic Studies-yeah, THAT Islamic Studies. Great for moles and listening posts).

So Trump was all in on criminalizing lawful gun owners until beto let the cat out off the bag.

Barr swallows.
He defended Lon Horiuchi IIRC.

“Dummy Beto”. Bobby Francis O’Rourke better hope that catchy nickname the president gave him doesn’t stick.

Could shorten that a bit, to make it "Twitter friendly":

DumBeto!

Game theory and warfare. Strategic thinking. Judo.

It’s not a game. It just LOOKS like a game, and the people involved are CONVINCED it’s a game.

We’re the pawns.

While he is a dummy, I prefer to call him Cornwallis O’Rourke to honor those who died at Lexington, MA in April 1775.

Nonsense. There never were any chances for bipartisan gun control legislation. Democrats would always want more than the Republicans would be willing to give.

“So Trump was all in on criminalizing lawful gun owners until beto let the cat out off the bag.”

Um....no. But it makes for a great soundbite and ties the rats to gun confiscation. Since none of Dummy’s opponents said anything about this, Trump will use it to his advantage in 2020.

“I was going to do something about guns, but Beto showed us that the only thing on Democrats minds is confiscating legally owned weapons and destroying the constitution in the process.”

Basically what he did is make it possible for the GOP to ignore the gun control demands and blame Beto.

The President uses everything to attack Democrats as each situation unfolds. He has them in knots.

Even though “Pretty Bobbi” is a JOKE as a candidate, what RUINED him here in Texas FOREVER is that it got out” that he likes wearing LADIES UNDERPANTS & there are NUMEROUS photos of him in wig, full “war paint”, floor-length evening gown & 4” heels.

Several folks here in San Antonio have said that he would have made a “fairly hot-looking girl”.

More likely he is rubbing Beto’s nose in it, making dems think he (POTUS) was all ready to support some kind of gun control, until Beto went waaay over the top. In other words, he’s trolling democrats...again.

No one wants to stand wit Beto - the guy’s an eternal teenager - a Peter Pan. The term ‘lightweight’ doesn’t even apply - more like paperweight...

No, Trump is a master at trolling the left and at appealing to both sides. Trump never was going to infringe on the 2nd Amendment. He was open to things that would help identify the mentally ill. He was demonstrating to centrist Democrats that he is a reasonable man with their interests in heart. Then at the earliest golden opportunity (the left always give him one), he found an idiot Commie Rat to let him off the hook.

So his message to the centrist Democrats he needs for re-election is “I am really trying to help you out here but your Democrat reps are making that impossible. You need to stop voting for such exteme Democrats, so I can help you out here.”

It is all an act. Trump will not infringe the 2nd Amendment. Not only has he not done so but he has not proposed doing so.
