After Beto’s Vulgar Rant, DNC Warns Candidates Not to Swear

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sent a letter to qualifying campaigns ahead of its third presidential primary debate, warning the Democratic presidential candidates not to use vulgar language while on the debate stage.

“We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that, as the debate will air on the ABC broadcast network, we are governed by Federal Communication Commission indecency rules,” the DNC wrote in a letter obtained by Axios. “We will not be broadcasting on any delay, so there will be no opportunity to edit out foul language. Candidates should therefore avoid cursing or expletives in accordance with federal law and FCC guidelines.”

The letter comes as former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) has been receiving attention for the uptick in curse words that he has been espousing while on the campaign trail.

The failed Texas U.S. Senate candidate first made headlines with his vulgar language while conceding the statewide race to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as part of the 2018 midterm election cycle.

“All of you showing the country how you do this — I am so f***ing proud of you guys,” O’Rourke told the crowd in November. While he received wild cheers at the time, he later swore that he would no longer curse after announcing his bid for the presidency.

Beto Campaign Exploits Mass Shooting by Selling Obscene T-Shirt

/0 Comments/in , /by

Need more proof that Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is desperately trying to rejuvenate his failing campaign? In the wake of the west Texas shooting, Beto sought to separate himself from his opponents by dropping F-bombs. “We don’t know how many have been killed. We don’t know the motivation. But here’s what we do know: This is f**ked up.”

As PJMedia’s managing editor Paula Bolyard noted, “Swearing doesn’t make you sound hip or passionate. It makes you sound like you’re trying too hard to sound hip and passionate as you’re exploiting the deaths of shooting victims, whose bodies are still warm, for political purposes.” Apparently Beto didn’t get the message because his campaign is now selling shirts with “This is f**ked up” on them in response to the shooting.

WATCH: Beto O’Rourke Reaffirms Dark Gun Control Plan — and Says It Won’t Be Voluntary

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential contender Beto O’Rourke reaffirmed his vision for gun control Sunday in the wake of another shooting tragedy in Texas that left seven people murdered and nearly two dozen others injured.

“What we’ve been saying, the rhetoric we’ve been using, the policies and practices and politics of this country has not been as urgent enough as needed. Doesn’t meet this crisis,” O’Rourke said on MSNBC.

“So let’s speak clearly and bluntly and then take decisive action: Universal background checks, red flag laws, ending the sales of weapons of war, but also importantly, and politically difficult to say, buy those weapons of war back. Mandate that. Not voluntarily,” O’Rourke continued. . .

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

O’Rourke began advocating mandatory gun buybacks last month, which critics argue is essentially gun confiscation veiled in softer rhetoric. O’Rourke would force owners of firearms like the AR-15 to turn over their rifle to the government or face a fine.

Guatemala Intel Secretary Fact-Checks: Migrant Crisis Caused by Poverty from Democrats Pushing ‘Socialist Corrupt Ideology’ on Central America

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mario Duarte, Guatemala’s secretary of strategic intelligence, credited “policies of failure” pushed by Democrats in the State Department with driving migration from Central and South America to the U.S., offering his response to Beto O’Rourke’s analysis of the phenomenon in a Tuesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.

“As an official of the Guatemalan government, to be honest, there are many factors that have actually affected and caused the migration of our citizens to other countries, especially to the United States,” Duarte said. “Climate change, I would say, is somehow up there on the list, but in my view, personally, one of the major reasons we have this issue is because of the failed policies that Democrats have tried to impose on Guatemala and other Latin American countries.”

Duarte continued, “What am I talking about? To give you an example, we have had, in the past, State Department officials identifying themselves as Democrats. “On the day that President Trump was elected, those officials ultimately pushed for specific judges to be appointed to our highest courts in Guatemala — the Constitutional Court.” . . .

Duarte remarked, “It goes back to the policies of failure that people have tried to impose on Guatemala. I’m talking about … Democrats in the U.S. government, certain European countries, and even the UN. So we have socialist-oriented magistrates in the Constitutional Court forcing big companies [and] big businesses to shut down and lay off a lot of people, people with big families. These people have to eat and they have to survive, so they will look for an opportunity somewhere else.” (Read more from “Guatemala Intel Secretary Fact-Checks: Migrant Crisis Caused by Poverty from Democrats Pushing ‘Socialist Corrupt Ideology’ on Central America” HERE)

Beto Staff Kicks out Conservative Reporter to ‘Protect Black Students’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The flailing 2020 presidential campaign of former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) claimed Wednesday that a staffer ejected Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak from a speech at Benedict College, a historically black college, to protect black students.

In a statement Wednesday, O’Rourke’s press secretary, Aleigha Cavalier, attempted to defend against the growing controversy stemming from Pollak’s removal, claiming that while the candidate “believes in the right to a free press,” Breitbart News “walks the line between being news and a perpetrator of hate speech.”

“Given this particular Breitbart employee’s previous hateful reporting and the sensitivity of the topics being discussed with students at an HBCU, a campaign staffer made the call to ask him to leave to ensure that the students attending the event felt comfortable and safe while sharing their experiences as young people of color,” the statement added.

A Breitbart spokesperson hit back shortly after the O’Rourke campaign’s statement: “The false accusation that Breitbart is racist, or that its award-winning reporter — an Orthodox Jew, married to a black woman who serves in the military — is either racist or would make anyone at a black university uncomfortable is absurd. The irony of Mr. O’Rourke — who has stated himself that he is the beneficiary of ‘white privilege’ — purporting to decide for black students who should be banned from events that are open to the press, or what they should feel, is not lost on us.” (Read more from “Beto Staff Kicks out Conservative Reporter to ‘Protect Black Students'” HERE)

How Extreme Are Democrats on Abortion? Watch This Chilling Response From Beto.

/0 Comments/in , /by

At a campaign event on Monday night, presidential hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke said that he believes women should have the right to kill their unborn babies up to the moment of birth.

O’Rourke was confronted by a young man in the College of Charleston audience about his radical pro-abortion position, which is on-par with the field of Democratic presidential candidates. “My question is this: I was born September 8th, 1989, and I want to know if you think on September 7th, 1989, my life had no value,” he asked the Democrat.

“Of course I don’t think that. And of course I’m glad that you’re here,” O’Rourke responded. “But you referenced my answer in Ohio, and it remains the same. This is a decision that neither you, nor I, nor the United States government should be making. That’s a decision for the woman to make.”

After a momentary pause due to an applauding audience, O’Rourke said that he wants pregnant women “to have the best possible access to care and to medical providers,” later adding that “only” a pregnant woman “knows what she knows, and I trust her with that.”

The 49-year-old also claimed that the state of Texas, where O’Rourke made an unsuccessful run for a Senate seat, is “losing lives of women” due to pro-life legislation.

In March, O’Rourke unapologetically spoke out for abortion-till-birth in Cleveland, Ohio. “Are you for third-trimester abortions? Are you going to protect the lives of third-trimester babies?” a female audience member asked the media darling, as previously reported by The Daily Wire. “Because, you know, there’s really not a medical necessity for (late-term) abortion — it’s not a medical emergency procedure — because typically third-trimester abortions take up to three days to have. So, in that sense, if there was an emergency, the doctors would just do a [caesarian]-section, and you don’t have to kill the baby in that essence. So, are you for or against third-trimester abortions?”

Texas Newspaper Urges Beto to Drop out of the Presidential Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the largest newspapers in Texas is urging former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) to drop out of the presidential race and try again to attain the U.S. Senate seat in the Lone Star state.

“Beto, if you’re listening: Come home,” The Houston Chronicle editorial board wrote on Saturday. “Drop out of the race for president and come back to Texas to run for senator. The chances of you winning the race you’re in now are vanishingly small. And Texas needs you.”

The editorial revealed that the former congressman’s blunt reaction to reporters in the aftermath of the deadly shooting in El Paso was a turning point in the campaign. At the time, O’Rourke was asked if it was possible for President Donald Trump to do anything “to make this any better.”

“Um, what do you think? You know the sh*t he’s been saying,” O’Rourke aggressively responded. “He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don’t know. Like, members of the press – what the f*ck? It’s these questions that you know the answers to, I mean, connect the dots.”

. . .

O’Rourke unsuccessfully ran to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2018. Despite continuously trailing Cruz throughout the duration of their campaigns, the race tightened to a margin of single digits in the consistently red state. Speculation of O’Rourke’s entrance into the national political arena heightened after he began to advocate against policies popular in Texas such as gun ownership and border security.

WATCH: Here’s How Beto O’Rourke Really Feels About Trump Supporters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential contender Beto O’Rourke said on CNN’s “State of then Union” Sunday that if you vote for President Donald Trump then you are probably racist.

“You said to me last week that you thought President Trump was a white nationalist,” host Jake Tapper said. “President Trump won your home state of Texas by nine points. Almost 63 million Americans voted for him. Do you think it is racist to vote for President Trump in 2020?” . . .

The former Texas congressman went on to explain why he believes the president is racist, citing Trump’s “repeated warnings of invasions, to his repeated calls to send them back,” Trump’s “description of white nationalists and Klansmen and neo-Nazis as ‘very fine people,'” and Trump’s so-called Muslim travel ban.

At the end of his interview, O’Rourke appealed Americans to vote for a presidential candidate who will bring “this very divided and highly polarized country together,” instead of a candidate who will “try to divide us on our differences.”

WATCH: Trump Trades Punches with Beto Ahead of El Paso Visit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, by a man who espoused racist and anti-immigrant views, Democratic presidential candidate and El Paso native Beto O’Rourke has repeatedly blamed Donald Trump for the heinous act that took the lives of over 20 people and injured dozens more. After a few days of O’Rourke condemning Trump in interviews and online, the president finally responded Tuesday, prompting more blame from the presidential hopeful.

Within hours of the massacre at the hands of what police believe is a white supremacist, O’Rourke began laying the blame squarely on Trump for his rhetoric on illegal immigrants. The president, O’Rourke told CNN Saturday, is trying to make Americans “afraid” of immigrants, casting Mexicans as “rapists and criminals” and “attempting to ban all Muslims from this country” — a reference to Trump’s “travel ban” that placed restrictions on a handful of Muslim-majority countries that are high risks for terrorism (designated as such by the Obama administration).

“President Trump’s racism does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country. And it leads to violence,” O’Rourke tweeted Saturday along with video of his interview with CNN.

Trump responded directly to O’Rourke on Tuesday, suggesting that he uses his “phony” nickname “Beto” — which O’Rourke’s family gave him as a child — as a way to “indicate Hispanic heritage” and telling him to “respect the victims & law enforcement — & be quiet!”

Watch: Beto O’Rourke Calls Trump an ‘Avowed Racist,’ and Compares His Language to the ‘Third Reich’

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Sunday, former congressman and current 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke appeared on a bevy of morning shows to speak about the horrific shooting that took place in El Paso on Saturday.

During his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” he partially blamed President Trump’s “anti-immigrant rhetoric” for the attack, and compared such language to what one might hear from “the Third Reich.” . . .

After a lengthy pause, O’Rourke replied:

I don’t know the point that you’re trying to make here, Jake, but it’s pretty obvious to me and anyone who’s listened to the President and will look at the facts that his anti-immigrant rhetoric – not just the things that I cited, but calling asylum-seekers “animals” or an “infestation.” Now, you might describe a cockroach or termites as an infestation – something less than human. You might hear someone in the Third Reich describe a given people based on their characteristic as an infestation or subhuman, but that’s what the President of the United States is doing right now, and it’s not just with Mexican immigrants, conflating congresswoman Ilhan Omar with the terrorists from 9/11, encouraging that chanting in North Carolina of “send her back.”

Let’s not mince words right now. This president is encouraging greater racism, and not just the racist rhetoric, but the violence that so often follows. This shooter in the manifesto cites, in part, for his inspiration the shooter in Christchurch, New Zealand, who cites Donald Trump as his inspiration. This anti-immigrant rhetoric – and again, it is not just President Trump, but he’s certainly, as the person in the position of greatest public trust [in] power, most responsible for it. This is Fox News; this is what we’re seeing on the internet; this is the the toleration of intolerance and hatred and racism in this country; this is what is causing what we are seeing here today, and it will continue to happen unless we call it out and unless we change it.
