Reuters held story about Beto O'Rourke until after Senate race

Reuters held on to a report about former congressman Beto O'Rourke and his participation in a hacking group as a teenager until after his failed 2018 Senate race in Texas.

O'Rourke, now 46, announced Thursday he's running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. A day later, Reuters reported he was a member of a computer hacking group called the Cult of the Dead Cow and authored a series of writings under the name "Psychedelic Warlord."

Hours after publishing the report, Reuters put out a follow-up piece that said the author, reporter Joseph Menn, held on to O'Rourke story for more than a year.

Menn said he found out about O'Rourke's membership in the Cult of the Dead Cow as he was doing research for a book on the well-known hacking group.

“While I was looking into the Cult of the Dead Cow, I found out that they had a member who was sitting in Congress. I didn’t know which one. But I knew that they had a member of Congress," he said. “And then I figured out which one it was. And the members of the group wouldn’t talk to me about who it was. They wouldn’t confirm that it was this person unless I promised that I wouldn’t write about it until after the November election. That’s because the member of Congress had decided to run for Senate. Beto O’Rourke is who it was."

More criminality at a younger age from Robert Francis. Sick fantasy writing. No accomplishments. Twitchy as hell. What's not to like for a democommie?

The murder fantasy of Robert Francis doesn't end with killing the children, that was only his first kill.

“My dream was abruptly ended when I heard a loud banging on the front window. It was an old man, who was using his cane to awaken me. He might have been a witness to my act of love. I was not sure, nor did I care. It was simply ecstasy. As I drove home, I envisioned myself committing more of these 'acts of love,' and after a while, I had no trouble carrying them out. The more people I killed, the longer my dreams were. ... I had killed nearly 38 people by the time of my twenty-third birthday, and each one was more fulfilling than the last.”

This poser is a sick individual.
