Beto O’Rourke blames GOP ‘death cult mentality’ for rise in US violence

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.

Beto's ignorance and outright lies have become an evil aerosol which he is spreading and he should be quarantined with a muzzle over his mouth and ten stories underground in isolation for the next 50 years.

Yep, but don't overlook the number of people who eagerly believe his bullshit. Be on the lookout for articles and social media posts with hashtags and other references to "poweredxpeople.org"; that's Beto's grassroots GOTV group. Back when he ran against Cruz, he was already trying to reach beyond the current blue counties in Texas. Fortunately, scruffy white millennials wearing black hoodies are less likely to get a sympathetic ear in Texas these days.

Yes Beto(ff),

It’s we Republicans who are out LOOTING, RIOTING, BURNING, DESTROYING, hunting down innocent bystanders to beat to death, blocking traffic, shooting into cars of said blocked traffic, holding sections of our cities hostage, destroying every statue we can find, defacing every American monument we can’t destroy....

This jackass needs a good spanking.

Beto is PO’d because he hot VETOED!

I have a better plan for him though. Yours sounds nice, in a kind of draconian way but this is the irish fraud white boy here, and it’s 21st century digital era, it nedds to be youtube capable...so...

Stake his sorry ass out about 3 feet from an ant bed. One of those nice West Texas 3 footers. Pour a small trail of honey from his privates to the ant bed. Turn on web cam and live scream...I mean stream...

Speaking of death cult mentality, how many unborn children are slaughtered every year by your death cult Beto? Want to compare numbers?

This is yet more classic projection by the Master himself.

The left worships death. I heard some commentator call BLM “thugs.” No truer words were ever uttered. Just like the followers of Kali, goddess of death, these Thugees lust after death in any form they can find it, not only for others, but for themselves.

Typical DemonCrap.

Embrace a philosophy then blame the other side.

If abortion is not a 'death cult', then 'death cult' has no meaning.

Oh, and by the way: The deaths from 'gun violence' is spiking in the AntiFA crowd because we are starting to F***** SHOOT BACK.

Can we also add the statistics from 'skateboard violence' sourced from Antifa and directed at the rest of us?
