Beto O’Rourke apologized Friday night for writings the former Texas representative made as a teenager describing fantasies about running over children with a vehicle.
“I’m mortified to read it now, incredibly embarrassed, but I have to take ownership of my words,” the Democratic presidential candidate said during a taping of the “Political Party Live” podcast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Whatever my intention was as a teenager doesn’t matter, I have to look long and hard at my actions, at the language I have used, and I have to constantly try to do better.”
His comments come after a report Friday revealed O’Rourke wrote prose when he was a teenager describing a scenario in which he would accelerate a car into a group of children while hearing them scream. The report also showed he was a secret member of a hacking group called the “Cult of the Dead Cow,” which focused on showing people how to hack Microsoft computers.

I am sorry but writing about running over kids and listening to them scream while dying is not normal. That’s just weird and especially from a candidate for President. Nope, Beto is sicko.
Liberals are such stupid mealy mouthed losers. They think they can talk their way out of anything.
No sale Bobby, we ain’t buying it.
We don’t have to buy it. The opposition party isn’t bothered by it in the least. Or the butt buffing poem.
tucker carlson said WAY less horrific things than beto did in his stories, but the left went absolutely mental demanding that fox news fire him and sponsors leave his show
I guess all tucker has to do is say ‘sorry’ whether he means it or not, and all is forgiven with the left, right?
This is so obvious what the rats are trying to do here! Ditch out all VETO BETO’s garbage out there this early on to get him squeaky clean before the primaries knowing Americans have a very very short attention span! By the time the main nominees roll around November more than half of the population would have already thrown it in the sea of forgetfulness! SEE that’s the way it works!
Bobble Head?
The leftists sure are piling up a list of apologies, this week!

Beto was a teenage asshole. How many of us weren’t?
Meanwhile, he’s intentionally concealing his wife’s status as a billionaire heiress, portraying her as an everyday housewife & teacher.
His MSM backers have repeated, ad nauseam, that he raised an “eyepopping” $80 million in (as he claims) “grassroots” donations in his recent bid for Ted Cruz’s senatorial seat, while supposedly refusing money from PACs & wealthy donors.
This is surely what low-info, eat-the-rich millenial voters want to hear, but I smell lies.
How much of that $80 mil really came from his billionaire father-in-law? Straw donors? Campaign finance violations?
Mentally ill, indeed.
It is wise for us all to remember that liberal pressure in the ‘70s and ‘80s led to the closure of the country’s mental institutions for “humanitarian” reasons.
It was shortly thereafter that many parents began dosing their kids with behavior-modifying prescription drugs like Ritalin.
When you combine those factors, it’s no wonder we have millions of unstable people wandering free amongst us, with the Democrat party encouraging them at every turn.
How about calling him Beto Butt-shine.
Some of them already have.
I suspect it is because they have conservatives and Independents in their lives who are mocking them and their party on the issue.
It is nothing short of alarming. Never once, when I was a teen did I think of harming a child, an animal, not even my wicked stepmummy dearest. I home schooled both my sons and read their poetry and not ONCE did they ever write of harming a child, an animal or another human being. I am proud of the men they are. Beto? What is with demoncrats??? Hey no biggie he wanted weird stuff from a cow or wanted to harm children.. he’s reformed, right??
The scary part to me is that their descent into Bedlam only reflects the attitudes of their base.
Who released the report? Left or Right?
I’m tiring of all these revelations of childhood sins....and the resulting stupid apologies. Don’t care what side you are on.....stop it.
Sometimes there are no take backs.
Good point.
People DO get the government they vote for.
