Beto O'Rourke (D.) accused President Donald Trump of inviting mass shootings during an appearance Saturday at the New Hampshire Democratic Party State Convention.
The former Texas congressman said the El Paso shooter, who killed 22 people, was a product of America's racist culture and Trump's racist rhetoric.
"This person drove 600 miles with that hatred, really at the invitation of our president, and opened fire with that AK-47 on innocent people in a Walmart, killing 22 of them and grievously wounding many dozens more," O'Rourke said.
He proceeded to demand an aggressive gun-control agenda. Listing the items of that agenda, he said the political difficulty of legislating it all would not deter him.
"A gun registry in this country, licensing for every American who owns a firearm, and every single one of those AR-15's and AK-47s will be bought back so they are not in our streets, not in our homes, do not take the lives of our fellow Americans," he said to loud applause. "And we are going to do that together."
Assuming the position of a much-publicized New York Times series, O'Rourke stated the country's founding was not in 1776 but in 1619, when the first African slave was brought to North America. This was the root of the gun violence problem, he argued.
"This is a country that has been defined by foundational, systemic, endemic racism, since the very founding of this country, August 20 of 1619, the first time that a kidnapped African was brought here against his will and made to serve as a slave to build the greatness and success and the wealth of this country, which his descendants would never be able to fully participate in," O'Rourke said.
"This is the reality of United States of America," O'Rourke continued.
He went on to argue it was only a matter of time before Trump, who has "no honor, no morals, and no ethics," would bring about such an attack with his rhetoric.
"Sooner or later it was going to find us. It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when," he said.
O'Rourke continued to praise progressive social movements that he said reflect the aspiration of some in America to right historical wrongs.
"This is a country that has produced Moms Demand, this is a country that has produced March for Our Lives, this is a country that has produced the leadership that will ensure that we not only have universal background checks and red flag laws and end the sale of those weapons of war, but that we go the necessary steps further, as politically difficult as those may be," O'Rourke said.
The Douchebag is strong in this one!
When illegals come here and rape and murder Americans, they do so at the invitation of the Democratic Party.
This guy must be drunk....again.
Will that idiot ever shut up?
[[Will that idiot ever shut up?]]
Do they ever?
It's time for a straight-on libel suit, by President Trump, against this malevolent faggy bitch.
“A gun registry in this country, licensing for every American who owns a firearm, and every single one of those AR-15’s and AK-47s will be bought back so they are not in our streets, not in our homes, do not take the lives of our fellow Americans,” he said to loud applause. “And we are going to do that together.”
And if some kook plunks this creep, everyone will pretend to feel real bad about his passing.
What a MORON!
The FredocRAT Party. Hating America for 400 years.
>>>“A gun registry in this country, licensing for every American who owns a firearm, and every single one of those AR-15’s and AK-47s will be bought back so they are not in our streets, not in our homes, do not take the lives of our fellow Americans,” he said to loud applause. “And we are going to do that together.”<<<
And they call us Nazis...
Nice try, you empty-headed pencil-nosed human reject.
Even madder than Beto are his TX supporters.
Just like 0bama did for Orlando and Las Vegas and the MSMLSD never blamed him.
Irish Bob’s foaming at the mouth is going to get him reported to Animal Control.
The Founding Fathers should have put in the constitution, for candidates for president, besides being 35 years or older, and a natural-born citizen, a requirement for serum testosterone levels be at least in the 20th percentile.
Both came here as indentured servants as did many Whites.
.Casor was sentenced to a life of servitude after a civil suit.
His "master" was Anthony Johnson, a free black man.
Inarguably, one of the first slaves of African descen in what became the US was "owned" by another black man.
When did it become acceptable to tell such bald-faced lies in a public forum? There’s the old standard of “dishonest politician”, and then, apparently, there is... this.
The worst part is that you reach a certain point that ANY sort of attempt to respond to it just serves to throw gasoline on the fire.
The hate-boner that nearly everyone and their Great Aunt Methuselah seems to have for President Trump is truly a sight to behold.
