Beto O'Rourke says he 'absolutely' supports destroying existing walls on southern border

By Gregg Re | Fox News

Former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke said Thursday that he would "absolutely" support tearing down existing barriers along the southern border with Mexico, in a full-throated embrace of open-borders rhetoric that has left conservatives wondering where other potential 2020 Democratic White House hopefuls stand on the issue.

O'Rourke's comments came as the House and Senate passed a compromise spending bill that would partially fund President Trump's proposed border wall, to the tune of $1.4 billion. Trump, who had been pressing for billions more, has vowed to declare a national state of emergency to fund the remainder of the project.

Amid the congressional debate, Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw wrote on Twitter earlier Thursday that he wanted O'Rourke to answer a simple question: "If you could snap your fingers and make El Paso’s border wall disappear, would you?" He cited Department of Homeland Security (DHS) figures suggesting that illegal border crossings dropped sharply in El Paso following the construction of a wall there.

Beto is a drug-addled moron.... and anyone that voted for him is also a moron.  People like that don't deserve to live in a country as free and as fine as America.   They are destroyers.... and they tend to foul their own nests wherever they go.  (and I'm being nice here)

This guy ain't right in the head. Something very odd about him - I'm not quite sure why he's so popular.

Yes, you're way too nice. Robert Francis is about as useless as they come. He has no accomplishments but watch what happens when Oprah polishes this turd on national television. I wonder how his spastic gesticulations will play with a wider audience.

I don't know how it will play with them, but it drives me up the wall (pardon pun) watching his gesticulations.  A couple of callers on Rick Roberts' show commented that it's how someone acts when they are on a certain combo of drugs.  I believe it.  Remember, this creep has a rap sheet ....hit and run, burglary, DUI, insider trading.  The irony is.... he got off scott free and is the very definition of the leftist term "white privilege"... yet like a typical lying leftie DemocRat, he pretends to be otherwise (See: Elizabeth Warren, for one).

[Fishrrman]

A Fishrrman fearless prediction:
EVERY democrat-communist candidate in 2020 will run with the pledge to "tear down this wall" if elected.

It will probably be included in the democrat-communist party platform, as well...

[libertybele]

Because the leftist liberal mental midgets that follow him aren't right in the head either.

[jafo2010]

Beto is certainly a key member of the clown car, whether he runs or not.

[austingirl]

I have to admit my prediction was wrong. Robert Francis' antiwall rally fizzled and he dropped off the radar. He didn't get much of a buzz from his Oprah interview. I predicted he's ride that softball interview and its attendant media adoration to an announcement about running in 2020. I'm glad I was wrong but there is still a chance this moron will enter the race.

I did hear a rumor he is being recruited to run for Cornyn's seat. 

[Idiot]

I still say if they want the wall to come down, then start in El Paso!  When the murder rate skyrockets, maybe they'll rethink it.

For anyone who's been to El Paso....geez....just looking across the border wall at Juarez from the UTEP campus is just plain sad and scary.

[jafo2010]

There is just no enough money to get Beto elected to anything much more than dog catcher.  He will not win a statewide election.

I am sure he will enter the race just to collect campaign contributions.  He can ride on those dollars for a long time.

I hope the commies continue to waste their dollars on "Beto". He is unelectable state wide.

[Idiot]

Hmmm....not so sure about that.  Cruz was a solid conservative....Cornyn not so much.  He could beat Cornyn, since there are many that will not get out to vote for Cornyn.  I personally can't stand the man.

[jafo2010]

I would think just the opposite.  Because Cruz was such an extremist, Cornyn should appeal to more moderate folks, the Independents, etc.

[thackney]

But Cornyn will get support from the RNC that Cruz could not get.  Lots of Dollars would flow his way rather than the grassroots support that kept Cruz funded.

[ABX]

This home is on the southern border and has two layers of walls/fencing (not counting the structure's walls).

I wonder if he is willing to start with that?

Here is some video of Beto giving an interview, one of his most intelligent.

He says this while at his El Paso rally which was held behind barriers.

An idiot is an idiot is an idiot.....

There are also a lot of people who aren't right in the head but who are allowed to vote.
Beta promises to rob Peter to pay Paul. He can always count on the support of the Pauls who aren't right in the head.

Make sure Video of it follows his every campaign step from now on.
