Failed U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) said Tuesday that he supports the immediate removal of a Confederate plaque from the Texas State Capitol.
Responding to Rep. Eric Johnson’s (D-TX) tweet voicing support for the removal of the “Children of the Confederacy Creed” plaque, O’Rourke tweeted: “I’m with Eric on this one. Take it down today.”

In one quick move, the failed one has convinced the people of Texas to never vote him into office.

He is working for the West and East coasts votes now.

Some reporter needs to ask Beto what he found objectionable in that plaque.

No one will ask Robert Francis that question. If this puke runs, I will enjoy him becoming Nacho President.
Principles matter. Words matter.
