Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke recently announced his candidacy for governor of Texas against incumbent Greg Abbott after the former's failed campaigns for U.S. Senate in 2018 and president in 2020. One issue that has followed him was his arrest report of a DUI hit-and-run in 1998, released August 2018 by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express. Up until that time, he had admitted to the DUI without mentioning the accident and fleeing the scene.
During a debate in September with eventual victor Ted Cruz, a moderator brought it up, and O'Rourke said, "I did not try to leave the scene of the accident." Then he repeated a familiar comment before the report had been released: that he was given a "second chance" only because he was a white man.

Just four days later, during friendly questioning by the Texas Tribune, O'Rourke was asked again whether he had fled the scene of the accident.

O'Rourke was not asked and did not volunteer who "she" was.
Then, in 2019, soon after his loss to Cruz, when O'Rourke had announced he was running for the White House, he was asked again by Vanity Fair about whether he had fled the accident. He now claimed that the mystery woman was "Michelle" and added that after he was arrested, police took him and his mystery passenger to a gas station and dropped her off ,

Indeed. His name is ROBERT FRANCIS O’ROURKE.
Chinese handler? They all need one.
The name ‘Beto’ is as real as Michelle. Neither exist in the real world. Michelle is as real as beto’s campaign promises.
But, Francis will betoll campaign contributions on another run for office, and he’ll lose again. Guaranteed!
A tranny?
That’s why they say he’s “Kennedyesque”.
I like O’dourke.
Beto the Bozo doesn’t even have enough talent to be a paper boy.
100% don’t indulge the boi or give any credence
Where was Stacy Abrahms on the night in question?
Oh, that is even funnier with the extra context.
Is this really him? I mean... this is beyond embarrassing.
You nailed it! (whether it’s true or not it makes no difference to consumers of contemporary news). Besides he hates women or he wouldn’t feed them💩.
