Cultural appropriating furry Beto O’Rourke ran for Senate and lost, then ran for president and dropped out before the primaries started. Given his awesome track record of failure, the hipster doofus is considering running for Governor of Texas. I, for one, applaud his complete lack of self-reflection because he’s a great source of amusement.
We actually started a dedicated category to Beta O’Dork here at Def-Con News because he was comedy gold nearly every day during his doomed presidential campaign and then suddenly he dropped out, robbing us of much-needed comedy relief. Thankfully he’s back, because now more than ever, we need a good laugh.
The Hill reports:
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said this week he is considering a 2022 gubernatorial run, setting up a potential challenge against incumbent Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).
“It’s something I’m going to think about,” O’Rourke told Buzz Adams on Texas radio station KLAQ on Monday.
O’Rourke went on to hit Abbott’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, accusing him of having a “complete indifference” to steps local leaders are trying to take to save lives amid the public health crisis.
“This state has suffered perhaps more than any other in the midst of this pandemic, in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression. And it is particularly galling to you and to me and everyone who is listening that El Paso in one of the hardest-hit states was, if not is, the hardest-hit city,” said O’Rourke.
I miss the days of media fact-checking, don’t you? Texas has had 36,024 COVID-19 deaths under Gov. Abbott’s relaxed restrictions. Compare that to the 42,434 COVID-19 deaths of lockdown-happy New York, with a much smaller population. Texas is not the hardest hit state or even one of the hardest hit states.
What O’Rourke was trying to say with that shit that Texas and El Paso are the hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic is that Hispanics are disproportionally attacked by a disease that doesn’t discriminate. Then, he tried to insinuate that he’s one of the Hispanics that is falling victim to COVID-19 and the Republicans:
“I want to make sure that we have someone in the highest office in our state to make sure that all of us are OK,” O’Rourke said. “I want to make sure that we have excellence in leadership and that excellence goes to every single part of the state, including ours.”
Beto O’Rourke is not Hispanic, he’s an over-privileged white boy who took the Mexican nickname “Beto” so people wouldn’t notice how over-privileged and white he is. Also, considering what a prolific loser he is, it’s a stretch for him to claim he represents “excellence in leadership.” Excellence in being a furry, yes, but definitely no credibility in the leadership department.
O’Rourke is funny, but The Hill actually beat him out with this joke:
Despite his two recent unsuccessful campaigns, O’Rourke is widely seen as a figure that could ultimately turn Texas Democratic.
Beta O’Dork couldn’t turn milk if he left it out in the hot El Paso sun for a week. Hell, he can’t even turn a motor vehicle. Remember that DUI crash he weaseled out of because his daddy is pulled some strings?
How’s that for some more unbiased editorializing masquerading as straight news from The Hill: “Despite being an epic loser, we hate Republicans so we’re going to pretend that experts think Beto O’Rourke will flip Texas blue.”
O’Rourke will lose, but it’s great for the rest of us if he does run for Governor because that means we’ll have plenty to laugh about as Joe Biden destroys the entire country. Call me an optimist, but I like to find the silver lining in all disasters.
