As violent crime spikes in some U.S. cities, former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke claims a Republican Party “death cult mentality” is to blame. Speaking on MSNBC, O’Rourke, a Texas Democrat, was asked to comment on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott both recently calling for schools to reopen for the fall semester, despite the continuing coronavirus pandemic. The former lawmaker quickly pivoted from talking about the virus to talking about gun violence.
“These are the same people who want us to accept that more people, including children, will die of gun violence this year in America than in any other developed country, bar none,” O’Rourke said, referring to Republican leaders. “It’s just the price of quote-unquote freedom in this country.

But critics have noted that many of the cities seeing recent spikes in shootings – such as New York City, Baltimore and Chicago – have Democratic Party leadership. Others also note that of the top 10 states for coronavirus deaths, eight of them have Democrats as governors.

What is gun violence exactly? Is there tank violence? Or knife violence? Or baseball bat violence? Or jet fighter violence? Or nuclear submarine violence? Or heavy wrench violence?
there is no such thing as gun violence. There are violent people who use guns in the wrong manner.
I have never heard of a DWI or a DUI being referred to as car violence
It’s the Republicans fault that Democrats are shooting each other, looting and burning their own towns, while their own elected leaders shut down their livelihoods and egg them on?
Gun Violence is “Democrat City Thug Violence”. Beto and other democrats have blood on their hands.
Lol
You would make a great South American dictator :-)
You certainly can think of exotic punishments to keep the people in place :-)
That was one of the best post I’ve read in a while
They believe that "feelings" and "emotion" are the foundation of the world. That's the reality of Post-Modernism. Reality is what you want it to be and Leftists want a reality of eternal childhood...a world in which how you "feel" is all important.
Hence, if Beto "feels" like those in the GOP are adult meanies who insist on a reality of absolutes (i.e., growing up), they are deemed a cult of death.
And, in a way, conservatives are a cult of death...the death of childhood.
That's rich coming from a devout adherent to an ideology that has not only been responsible for hundreds of millions of murders and deaths in the last century, but also advocates having celebration parties for women who have abortions and believes a baby that is a minute away from exiting the birth canal is fair game to be slaughtered.
Death Cult mentality indeed.
Like blocking highways?
Who? They mean that Irish dude named Bob that made a few headlines a few years back? That neverwas?
Irish Bob loves a good Irish scrap.
Ditto!
Yes, Senor Irishman..and all around loser. Beaten O’Dork.
this putz doesn’t realize his 15 minutes of fame is over
So he’s sticking his head out from under a rock spouting B.S. I wonder what position Joedementia would place him in his no chance administration?
Republican kids don’t get their own handgun until they are 21.
14 year old kids in EVERY Democrat run Shit hole have handguns.
In a dim admin he would make a good Sec of State or a White House porter.
Beto got beato, and he never got over it. What a losero.
.....”hope for the best but prepare for the worst” as that old expression goes.....I know not to trust any of the major polls out there, but.....
by all measures this is going to be a very close election....and we could, just sayin’ see a President Biden come out of all this.... and Buttwad Beto would be his “we’re gonna take yer guns...!” czar....
he can take my shiny, new AR-15 out of my cold dead hands...
that’s the only way I’ll ever give it up....!!
MOLON LABE.......!!
Looks all the violence is coming from Beta’s side.
