A number of low-polling 2020 Democrats are adopting the use of bad language in a bid to gain media attention and propel themselves to relevancy
Beto O'Rourke began dropping a number of F-bombs when speaking about issues like gun violence around the time his campaign began a relaunch after he failed to gain any traction in polls.
“Members of the press, what the f---?!†O'Rourke asked in August following the El Paso, Texas, shooting. That was followed up with another F-word-laden tirade. “We’re averaging about 300 mass shootings a year. No other country comes close. So, yes, this is f---ed up," then later explained he was just "being honest" and wished to "shock the conscience of the country."
In April, O'Rourke promised to cease using foul language, although he was faring much better in the polls then.
