At a campaign event in Keokuk, Iowa on the morning he officially announced his run for the Democratic presidential nomination, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke strongly endorsed the Green New Deal, saying: "Not to be dramatic, but literally, the future of the world depends on us right now here where we are."

"This is the final chance," O'Rourke said. "The scientists are unanimous on this. We have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis."

Did he actually say that? It sounds like satire.

Beto is trying to sound "Kennedyesque," but JFK had the Cold War and all Beto has is climate change

Drudge LOVES this guy!

It's Beto's day.

People want to hear about him and Drudge knows they'll come to his site and click on the links.

Or does it go back further than that?

“The future of the world depends on us!”

A typical messianic appeal. Today’s Democrats are a weird mix of Marxism, Messianic gaia-worship, selfishness, aggressive self-righteousness, and perversion. There’s also a bit of similarity to the Red Guard days of Mao.

I see a lot of Scientology traits in Democrats nowadays.

Don’t you understand....WE ARE SUPERMAN! Only WE can save the world now!

‘Not to be dramatic, but it’s literally’ a comic book bubble.

Since when is Sandy Ocasio a "scientist"?

The Future Of The World Depends On Us

We have allowed a generation of morons to be brought up. This is the same ego-centric, self indulgent, visions of grandeur attitude we saw in Obama with his "We are the ones we've been waiting for" announcement. They never worked, fought, or sacrificed for anything, yet they know better than the generations that preceded them. Spit.

Except, unlike some of these Messianic movements, the Democrats don't have a single clear leader, like L. Ron Hubbard, or the way the Mormons did, or the Communists did in various countries (Mao, Lenin).

I heard the clip of his actual statement. Hysteria is a Greek word that means “wandering uterus”. Beto sounded hysterical.
