Beto: “Our country was founded on racism – and is still racist today”

Headline: Robert Frances O'Rourke admits he is a racist

If only he'd admit he's a furry!

Damn that's funny!

Damn that's funny!

Robby is unaware that gun owners have to buy ammunition.

The white dude with the fake Hispanic name is a hypocrite.
If he believed one ounce of what he said, he'd drop out and support a non-white candidate.
His a racist by not doing so.
By not doing so, he is telling others he, the white dude, is better than anyone non-white person the democrats could run against him.

If you wouldn't trust a person who called you racist and wished you lost your job, why would you put a Democrat in charge of the government?

Meanwhile, Robby tries to think up new ways to violate the First Amendment:

Beto O'Rourke Proposes Plan to Punish Tech Companies for Failing to Censor Hate Speech
The move would violate the First Amendment.

Democratic presidential hopeful and former congressman Beto O'Rourke announced on Friday that he would like to remove legal protections from tech companies if they fail to police hate speech online. As with previous attempts to interfere with internet speech, the move would be an assault on the First Amendment.

O'Rourke joins a growing chorus of lawmakers and political activists who would like to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms from facing lawsuits over potentially defamatory statements posted to those platforms by users.

The Texas Democrat sees such protection as untenable in the wake of recent mass shootings, such as this month's incident in El Paso, which the shooter carried out after posting an anti-immigrant diatribe online. "We must connect the dots between internet communities providing a platform for online radicalization and white supremacy, as propaganda outlets like Fox News fuel that fire, and the fact that hate crimes against Black and LGBTQ+ Americans are on the rise," the O'Rourke plan states.  ...

I want to know where Beto is getting these $395 AR-15s....(out of a car trunk in the projects?)

Why bother?  Zuck is already censoring Bookface pretty heavily for "hate speech."

I saw a picture of him posing in front of a sign advertising that price.  I think it might have been a gun show.

Probably AR lowers only. If he wants something that actually shoots Beto will need to pay a bit more.

I was wondering if he had found a source for cheap one-shot semiautos like the hood rats used to carry.

That would require he venture into areas where the locals would just as soon have him squealing like a pig as sell him a cheapo.
