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).
