Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D) confirmed in an interview with Latino USA’s Maria Hinojosa Friday that he is in favor of physically tearing down existing sections of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. “So Beto I just want to be clear. Have you said you want to tear down the wall?” Hinojosa asked. “If I’m elected, I will tear down that wall. Then suddenly the Democrat is quoting the Republican Ronald Reagan– tear down that wall.”
“Right. So the short answer is yes,” O’Rourke said. “I would include all local stakeholders.”
“There are more than 600 miles of wall and physical barriers now along that 2,000-mile border,” he continued, arguing that they are “not working.”
“In El Paso, we saw crime actually go up after the wall was constructed instead of coming down. It made us less – not more – safe. As an El Pasoan, I, for one, would want to take much of that wall down,” O’Rourke said.
However, the former Texas lawmaker said he would defer to other communities on whether or not they wanted to keep the physical barriers in their cities.
“If there are other places where a physical barrier – from the community’s perspective – is necessary or helpful and it already exists, I would to defer to them,” he said, decrying Democrats for advocating for the construction of physical barriers on the southern border.
“Unfortunately it’s not just Republicans who advocated in voting for building walls here. Democrats voted for the Secure Fence Act that provided the authorization and ultimately the funding to build the walls that we have,” he continued.

He’s babbling, Jim!
If, by some weird quirk in the Universe, this gonad-less metrosexual became president, and ordered a takedown of the wall, then we need to adopt the left’s technique of chaining ourselves to the wall, daring the workers to continue.
Beto is clearly a boob.
Civil War 2.0 has already started. The lead slinging is desultory for now but will get a lot hotter in due season.
With the skulling of that gay, asian reporter, Andy Ngo, they already started the Civil War. When will our side join it?
@BetoORourke Beto Beto Beto...before you try to confiscate our guns and tear down the border wall, you should take a break and pamper yourself with favorite activities...maybe get your balls polished and feed your wife something disgusting...
Robert Francis O’Rourke, do you keep your front door locked when you leave? Do your security guards have guns? If both answers are yes, you are a hypocrite.
He’s getting the Mexicans who thinks he’s running for Mexico’s Presidency...
If all the democrat candidates were tested for IQ’s they wouldn’t make a double digit number.
