Robert = “Beto” to appeal to Hispanics. Rafael = “Ted” to appeal to gringos.
Robert Francis O’Rourke apparently was known as “Beto” before he entered kindergarten. So the remarks of Freepers—including yours truly—calling him the “fake Mexican” were unwarranted.
However, Robert Francis O’Rourke is positioning himself as the new Bobby (Robert Francis) Kennedy. So phooey to him anyway!!!!!
