Beto O'Rourke starts presidential campaign by claiming the world faces 'catastrophe' [tr]

Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke warned Thursday in his first presidential campaign stop that parts of the planet will soon become uninhabitable, driving a massive wave of climate 'refugees' across the U.S. border, if America's government doesn't adopt emergency measures within the next 12 years.

O'Rourke, 46, had formally announced an hour earlier that he will seek the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, ending months of speculation over whether he would try to translate his newfound political celebrity into a White House bid.

In the southwestern Iowa town of Keokuk, a sweater-clad Beto told a smallish crowd that by the time his 12-year-old son is his age 'we may not be able to live in cities that we call home today, like El Paso, Texas. We may not be able to grow our own food and fiber, feed and clothe ourselves in this country.'

Bob is a fake ... and is embarrassed to embrace his Irish heritage.

It doesn't serve him enough politically.

“Is he getting advice from AOC, aka Donkey Chompers? “

no ... he and the rest of the Dem 2020 primary clown car denizens are simply stealing her insanity because they have no ideas of their own, and apparently insane ideas are better than no ideas at all ....

****The most alarming thing about climate freaks is that NOT ONE of their ‘predictions ‘ has come true.******

...and all of them are rich hypocrites that live in mansions, fly/drive everywhere and use the most resources on average. If it’s such a catastrophe, then why aren’t they walking everywhere and eating grass chips?

A simple question for Beto and his ilk...

What if you’re wrong ?

Beto does kinda look like the man in the hat. He just needs a monkey sidekick.

This hand-wringing cry baby is not a man worthy to live in Texas. His father should have taught him better.
It’s a disgrace to womanhood as well when he puts on this sob-sister act to appeal to the media images of “the soccer mom” and “urban spinster.”
