Dems always try to downplay claims of being gun grabbers, but not Beto O’Rourke. O’Rourke doubles down. He ran for president back in 2020 and when he was asked about confiscating guns he said “Hell, Yes we are going to take your AR-15s, Your AK-47s…” But he didn’t learn his lesson in 2020 and is looking to gain some power. This time there are reports that he wants to run for governor and surprisingly some Republicans are hoping it’s true.
Watch The Clip Below.
“…it’s not just Democrats who hope that O’Rourke runs. Many Republicans also want to see O’Rourke be the Democrat Party’s nominee because they believe he would be among the weakest possible candidates that the Democrats could run. There are many on the Left who agree with the Republicans, that O’Rourke would be a disastrous candidate, and thus they are warning against his candidacy.
O’Rourke has a wide range of fringe political views that would not play out well in a solid red state like Texas. His views are so fringe they would be disastrous in purple states and could even see some pushback in blue states.”
Just look at some of his other extreme views.
“In June 2020, O’Rourke said: “I really love that Black Lives Matter and other protesters have put this front and center to defund” the police. O’Rourke said that he supported “completely dismantling those police forces and rebuilding them.”
“In October 2019, O’Rourke said that he supports taking away churches’ tax-exempt status if they oppose same sex marriage.”
And he has also gone on the record in saying that he would tear down our southern border wall. This is the guy that wants to take over for Governor Greg Abbott, practically the only politician that is actually trying to secure our border. I hope the Republicans that want O’Rourke to run are right because as extreme as he is, he would destroy the state and greatly hurt our country in the process.
