When Democrat Beto O’Rourke takes the stage in the second round of presidential primary debates on Tuesday, three young black men from Michigan who were inspired by ex-NFL player Colin Kaepernick to kneel during the national anthem before their high school football games will be in the audience as guests of the former Texas congressman.

O’Rourke reached out to ex-Lansing Catholic High School football players Michael Lynn III, Matthew Abdullah and RoJe Williams and spoke with them by phone last week. Teammate Kabbash Richards is away at college and unable to attend the debate.

Looks like the fake Hispanic is going to throw a Hail Mary racial pander ploy.

Will he flap his arms wildly?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Does he still ride a skateboard?

[Moonman62]

Irish Bob looks like a Kennedy. That’s his only qualification.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Despicable !

[Dilbert San Diego]

So now he is taking sides in the National Anthem kneeling debate, bending over backwards to prove that he is liberal?

[o-n-money]

Looks like Bobby.
Drives like Teddy.
As smart as John when he left Dallas.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Will he speak Spanish in this debate? Since he’s using black football players as a prop, will he speak ebonics????

Beto is so damn stupid he can't see that the majority of Americans think Colin is on the wrong side of the fence. Politically, he has the intelligence of a gnat.

[House Atreides]

Poor Beto, the adoration surrounding him has disappeared NEVER to return. He’ll have to go back to living off his wife’s family money. Speaking of which, when will that family wise up to him?

[relictele]

Jokes and incredulity aside, who in his campaign thinks this is a means of amassing votes ie the raison d’etre of politics?

[babble-on]

They all seem to be running to be president of the Twitter progressive caucus, not the USA

[Army Air Corps]

I know that he can dismount one in a way that makes me laugh.

[EagleUSA]

Flies draw flies.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll bet Puto wouldn’t do this if they had kneeled for the Mexican national anthem. He’d be outraged.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, THAT totally changes my mind about who to vote for in the Primaries, let alone the next Presidential Election!

*SNORT*

Robert Francis O'Rourke: "Gosh, I'm stupid."
Kneelers: "We're stupid as well!"
Robert Francis O'Rourke: "Great, vote for me!"
Kneelers: "OK, we will!

The debate's rigged. Moderators are going to attempt to stay away from questions that make democrats look bad.

There won't be any 'raise your hands' moments supporting progressive positions. That might make it harder for democrats to lie about being 'moderate' in the general election.

The so-called 'journalists' doing the debates are on the democrat's team - their goal is to help democrats look good.
