Beto O'Rourke evokes Robert Kennedy in South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Beto O'Rourke evoked the memory of Robert F. Kennedy as he spoke to South Carolina Democrats at the state party's convention with his signature campaign issue of immigration.

"We must heed the words of Robert Kennedy, who in 1967, the time of division and polarization, reminded us that no matter our differences we share one precious possession, and that is the name 'American,'" the former Texas congressman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate said on Saturday.

"To be American, he said, is to have been a stranger, an outcast, to have come to the exiles' country, and to know that he who denies the outcast or a stranger, he also denies America," he continued. "So at this moment of truth, which will define us forever, let us not deny America. Let us celebrate and embrace America."

O'Rourke similarly referenced the 64th U.S. attorney general and younger brother of the 35th president, John F. Kennedy, during a pre-convention rally at Pearlz Oyster Bar. There he met supporters who walked with him onto the convention hall floor and surrounded him for the duration of his seven-minute address.

He uses a lot of words in his gibberish. He seems to be saying that all Americans are illegal aliens. Hey, Robert Francis, some of us were born here.
Principles matter. Words matter.
