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 wonder who.
Also, was this done for a class to please a teacher or was it something Beto came up with all on his own for reasons of his own?
The more I read about this guy, the more he looks like a typical Democrat politician.
Remember how they treated Kavenaugh for what he wrote in high school year book?
Or “Butt Wax Bozo”.
A guy would have to be a sick, sick dude to have that fantasy at any point in his life. Unfit for any elective office.
I ran with a pretty irreverent crowd when I was 15 but I can tell you this story would have provoked criticism that involved the eff-word and “idiot” among a great many others. This story is SICK. The mined that spawned it is SICK. Period.
Sorry, can’t accept his apology. Democrats setup the standard, anything one does wrong anytime in their Life they are eternally held accountable for.
He may be as dangerous as the sicko in the FLA school shooting, and they want to give him the football? The world use to be a dangerous place, now its turning into Armageddon on speed.
So, a foolish teenager who used poor judgement...just like the kinds of voters Pelosi wants to lower the voting age for.
Im surprised his excuse wasnt he was parodying white privledged midwesterners atereotypes of undocumented citizens.
He’s for killing children if he supports infanticide..
He just using a different vehicle.
Too late ... damage done.
These pieces should be reproduced in their entirety, exactly as they were originally, and mailed to every household in America. I think his political future would be aborted.
Well, since his middle name is Francis, how about “Pancho?”
Beta O’Dork
Maybe his DUI accident wasn’t an accident. Writing about running over kids, maybe he did it while WUI (Writing Under the Influence.)
It was the Party of Slavery. It has not changed. Today, among other evils, it's the Party of Infanticide.
LOL
WUS-whining under stupidness
