AFTER ENDORSING O’ROURKE, TEXAS NEWSPAPER JOINS TED CRUZ IN CALLING FOR BETO TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
The Daily Caller ^ | 04 NOV 2018 | MOLLY PRINCE

Posted on 11/04/2018 7:30:00 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The Dallas Morning News’s editorial board called on Democratic Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke on Friday to provide clarification regarding where he stands on the migrant caravan that is heading towards the U.S border.

O’Rourke, who is trying to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, has been dodging the issue, despite immigration and border security overwhelmingly being the top issues for voters in Texas. Cruz urged reporters on Friday to probe O’Rourke into what he intends to do if elected to the Senate on Nov. 6.

“Two basic [questions] every reporter should ask Beto today,” Cruz tweeted. “(1) should the “caravan” be allowed to cross illegally into Texas? (Beto refuses to answer.) And (2) did your campaign dollars illegally fund their doing so?”

Cruz’s second question was in reference to undercover footage that was released on Thursday by Project Veritas. In the video, O’Rourke’s campaign staff alluded to campaign resources that were being used to assist the migrants on their way to the Texas border, a move that would violate federal law. O’Rourke later claimed that the spending will be appropriately reported to the Federal Election Commission as a charitable expense.

Beto’s imploding, and it’s not just him. The Democrats have been falling apart since the Kavanaugh hearings a month ago!

Democrats imploded when they threw away what little was left of their moral compass. It used to be “the loyal opposition.”
It’s now resist, oppose, obstruct, destroy, lie, and deceive.

Kind of remarkable that any outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda would actually ask any hard questions of a Democrat.....

Old Bob the fake hispanic that mimics Obama and married into wealth. Did you know this complete fraud that was rejected by the Hispanic caucus because he had no hispanic blood. The guy is a total liar. Furthermore, he is now allocating donated money over to human trafficking. He needs to be arrested and charged with human trafficking. Ditto everyone in and outside his campaign that are involved.

Check this out.

“O’Rourke, whose nickname is popular among Latinos, is not a member because he lacks Hispanic heritage. The exclusion comes despite the fact that O’Rourke — who beat eight-term House member and former CHC Chairman Silvestre Reyes — represents a district that is 80 percent Hispanic and whose voting-age population is 77.6 Hispanic, according to 2010 U.S. census figures.”

Ambitious Beto, didnt want to miss an opportunity like that....so he ran with it.

<><> is having touch football games with his cousins,

<><> told voters he lives in a "compound,"

<><> says he loves sailing in land-locked Texas,

<><> named his sailboat the HoneyFitz,

<><> had his wife legally change her name to Jackie,

<><> was last seen in a Texas steakhouse ordering Maine Lobster and Boston Clam Chowdah.

Moved to Texas a little over a week ago, but unfortunately too late to register and vote in Texas this election. Two Cruz votes that won’t be counted.
