Is it really a heated race? I don’t think “Beto” has much of a chance.

He is the sacrificial candidate.

Somebody had to run as the Democrat candidate for governor

Isn’t Beto the guy who said “hell yeah, we’re coming for your guns!”. Sounds like this creep is the authoritarian.

They take the microphone away from John Cleese for exposing the ridiculosity of the idea of racial reparations, but allow this?

Yeah, Abbot’s a thug.

A thug that wants you to keep your M16s and AR19s . . .

No chance of winning. I wouldn’t’t bet on that.

It’s important that there is at least an illusion of him winning. This guy can incinerate liberal campaign cash in losing campaigns like nobody else.

The media will gladly support the false narrative, just like saying Ukraine is winning their war.

This is the same event that someone took a mic away from John Cleese when he talked about Briton getting reparations from other nations for Britons being enslaved. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Stick it Beto.

Let me guess. Gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke is/was all-in for mandatory vaccines and mandatory masks,
all-in for mandatory CRT indoctrination,
all-in for mandatory “climate change” “education” ...
