Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) apologizes to staff on his 2018 Senate campaign for being a “giant asshole” in clips from a forthcoming HBO documentary obtained by the Daily Beast.

“I just feel very, very lucky, and I love you guys more than you’ll ever know,” O’Rourke, a 2020 presidential candidate, says in a clip from the documentary, “Running with Beto,” which will air on the network Tuesday night.

“I know I was a giant asshole to be around sometimes, and you all never allowed my shortcomings to get in the way of running the best campaign this state has ever seen,” he said.

Did Beto ever apologize for driving drunk and hitting those people and leaving the scene of an accident?

And this “giant asshole” came within a couple of percentage points of upsetting Ted Cruz. Even Texas is on the brink.

Beto strikes me as a Beta male.

Nothing says ‘strong’ like groveling before everyone and begging for forgiveness.../s

As far as the drunk driving ‘accident’... people like Beto don't like to apologized to powerless REAL people...

They like the grander apologies... apologizing for ‘being white’ for ‘having privilege’ for ‘men everywhere’... and for ‘being a jerk’ IF AND WHEN Beto senses people are thinking of moving on to a better candidate..

“I know I was a giant asshole to be around”.

Why is he using past tense?

[right way right]

Oh, if only he was a fag like Buttigaggag.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I know I was a giant asshole to be around sometimes,

Sometimes???

[LeonardFMason]

I watched 2 minutes of this documentary.

Painfully boring and uninteresting.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Somehow the Marxist State Media missed it completely!!!

There he goes, competing for the Buttigieg vote.
