VIDEO When you conduct an impeachment, it is a good idea to have EVIDENCE to back it up. Unfortunately the drunken Speaker of the Texas House rammed through an impeachment of state Attorney General Ken Paxton without any regard as to evidence. Fortunately, the Texas Senate was made aware by Paxton's defense team, notably the INCREDIBLE Tony Buzbee, that there was NO EVIDENCE. In this video we see some liberal whining over the acquittal of Ken Paxton on all EVIDENCE-FREE articles of impeachment. Of note is the reaction of the Harold Stassen of the Pecos, that perennial parasitic candidate Beto...

Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke won praise last year after he pledged to return a massive campaign contribution from Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency kingpin charged with defrauding customers out of billions of dollars. But campaign finance records show the failed political candidate has not lived up to that promise nearly eight months later. O'Rourke has kept $100,000 that Bankman-Fried donated to O'Rourke's failed gubernatorial campaign, according to campaign finance disclosures released this week. A spokesman for O'Rourke said in November that the campaign had returned an "unsolicited" $1 million donation from Bankman-Fried just before the Nov. 8 election. O'Rourke received...

Failed Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke has claimed that he returned a $1 million donation from disgraced former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried; however, it appears that he did not return all of the money, according to a report. A spokesman for O’Rourke said in November that the campaign returned the “unsolicited” $1 million donation Bankman-Fried gave the Texas Democrat in October. An O’Rourke spokesman said that the refund was issued prior to FTX’s bankruptcy and the discovery of Bankman-Fried’s reportedly illegal business practices. However, the Washington Free Beacon found that the O’Rourke team did not return all of the money:

Congratulations to Stacey Abrams on her second term in office as president of space after her latest effort to claim victory in Georgia fell apart.For Democrats this ought to count as a win because the midterms have likely freed them from the giant money sponges of Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams in one fell swoop.And both grifters seemed to have a limitless ability to promote themselves and burn money. Including from Evil Inc’s very own ATM.Soros’ Democracy PAC II sent $1 million to the committee on March 11 and another $1.5 million on June 23 for a total of $2.5...

Beto O’Rourke Raised $80 million to take on Ted Cruz. He famously raised $6 million in the first 24 hours of announcing his presidential run and blew through an estimated $17 million. After wasting nearly $100 million in two failed races, donors lined up to give him another $66 million for the final leg of the trifecta, wasting over $160 million to lose the senate, the presidency and finally the governor’s mansion. Consider the sorts of people who were willing to go on believing in him and writing him million-dollar checks. Quick hit them up with your best Brooklyn Bridge...

In May 2022, Mary Trump tweeted, “Hundreds of voter subversion laws are only a governor’s signature away from going into effect. Please join the Democracy Defense Fund in supporting these gubernatorial candidates who are committed to protecting our #VotingRights.”Mary Trump, the former president’s niece, has become an anti-Trump figure specializing in deranged rhetoric like calling him “mass murderer criminal Donald Trump”. DDF is a PAC that is intervening in races across the country, including in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Ohio.The Democracy Defense Fund, a nationwide PAC, was supposedly created by Mary Trump, who has no apparent background or ability to create...

Salt Lake City, UT – Independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin called his liberal counterpart in Texas, Beto O’Rourke, to brag that he just finished his concession speech and now has his entire Saturday free. McMullin informed O’Rourke that he might even take his sweet drone out and “just check out the neighborhood” this afternoon, now that he’s put the finishing touches on his “it was a moral victory” comments he plans to give after being thoroughly beaten by opponent Mike Lee in the upcoming Utah Senate election.

Beto O’Rourke has raised $76.5 million in his bid for governor of Texas this year. Stacey Abrams has raised $85 million in her bid for governor of Georgia. When all is said and done, O’Rourke will probably top $80 million and Abrams may raise more than $90 million, so Democratic donors have given least $161 million, and may give about $170 million or so to two progressive Democrats who are running fairly longshot races against Republican incumbents in traditionally GOP-leaning southern states. But I will make one small – I mean, best-use-a-microscope small — defense of O’Rourke and Abrams. Just...

On his MSNBC Sunday show, Capehart had on Beto O'Rourke. After losing to Ted Cruz in a senatorial run, then flaming out early in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary, O'Rourke is poised to make it a trifecta of failures, as he trails Gov. Greg Abbott badly in the Texas gubernatorial race. So, in his closing statement in the segment, an apparently desperate O'Rourke dug deep in his slimebag, and emerged with this foul accusation. "We have more school shootings than any other state because these kids are defenselss, not just against people with AR-15s, but a governor who will do...

"A-----e From El Paso" by the amazing Kinky Friedman; I just made the video Nothing in this video should be construed to imply that Mr Friedman opposes or supports Beto O'Rourke (I, on the other hand, despise the son of a b----) Feel free to repost, share, etc

During a campaign event on May 21, Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke expressed his belief that Americans who own AR-15s should not be able to keep them. On May 31, FOX News highlighted the comments as part O’Rourke’s ongoing effort against the guns. In the comments, O’Rourke stressed his position that no one should be able “to purchase an AR-15 or AK-47,” and added, “I don’t think that the people who have them right now in civilian use should be able to keep them.”

AUSTIN, Texas – Beto O'Rourke, who is facing off against Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in November's election, said that the rightward shift of Latino voters in recent years is partly due to a disregard for the demographic by Democrats. "Candidate Biden didn't spend a dime or day in the Rio Grande Valley or really anywhere in Texas, for that matter, once we got down in the homestretch of the general election," O'Rourke told a crowd at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday. "You got to be locking eyeballs with the people that you want to fight for...

A man confronted Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) on an airplane flight on Thursday about the senator not supporting stricter gun legislation in the aftermath of the Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers in May. A video posted on the man’s Twitter account shows Cruz getting his belongings after the flight landed in Houston. In the video, the man first jokes, “We’re in Houston? I thought we were going to Cancun,” an apparent reference to Cruz taking a family vacation to the Mexican city while intense winter storms caused many Texas residents to lose power in...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is maintaining a 7-point lead over his Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke, according to a new poll released on Wednesday. The University of Houston-Texas Southern University survey found that 49 percent of likely voters supported Abbott, while 42 percent supported O’Rourke. The results of Wednesday’s survey track with other recent polls. An August poll from the Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler also showed Abbott holding a 7-point lead over O’Rourke. Support for the two candidates breaks down sharply along partisan lines, with “virtually every Texas Democrat” intending to vote for O’Rourke...

the GOP was ready for Beto this time. Governor Abbott hit him hard at every opportunity, from gun control to defunding the police to school choice. Senator Ted Cruz waited too long to get in the race back in 2018. Like a well-coached hitter, the governor knew what O'Rourke was throwing from day on.

Fact checkers want folks to stop calling Beto O’Rourke’s bacterial infection ‘monkeypox’ August 30, 2022 | Tom Tillison | Print Article Facebook Twitter Gettr LinkedIn Telegram Gab OMG. Sometimes, given the state of politics today in America, the abbreviation for “oh my god” is all one needs to say. Beto O’Rourke, aka Robert Francis O’Rourke, announced on Twitter over the weekend that he had fallen ill and was diagnosed with a bacterial infection, which prompted some on social media to mock the Democrat by suggesting he had contracted monkeypox.

Beto O’Rourke didn’t eat crow, humble pie or even his words after losing to Ted Cruz. He ate dirt instead. O’Rourke, who came up short in his bid to unseat Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, despite raising $80 million for the Senate push, told the story of his earthy snack in a sprawling 3,000-word profile published by The Washington Post. “In January, Beto hit the road, much as his father had done before him, and drew energy from the people he met, and — on one stop in New Mexico he didn’t write about in his blog — by eating New Mexican...

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke declared that women would win back their right to kill unborn children. In Texas, a trigger law that will toughen the penalty on those involved in an illegal abortion is set to begin on Thursday. O’Rourke noted that women of Texas were involved in the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that was used to legalize abortions and predicted the women of Texas would “win it back in 2022.”
