Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke (D) – the failed senatorial and presidential candidate who made waves for saying "hell yes" he would take Americans' AR-15s – will be starting a new job next month. And it is not in the Biden administration.
O'Rourke will be teaching a seminar about voting rights in Texas at the University of Texas' Lyndon B. Johnson School for Public Affairs. The kicker? The seminar is titled "Texas Democracy and the Fight for Representation" and will focus on various aspects of elections in the Lone Star State.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, the seminar "will examine democracy in action, Texas legislative policy and executive power, and the history of voter rights and voter participation in the state – while also unpacking the running of a political campaign in Texas."
Despite the fact that America is a Republic, the twice-failed politician will talk about democracy and what it means for Texans and the American people. Outside of the class, the former congressman will take part in "bipartisan forums" that focus on politics and public policy making. Those forums will take place online and will be open to the public.
"There are no sidelines in a democracy," O'Rourke told the American-Statesman. "Part of the price of being an American is your expectation to participate — civically, in front of the school board, voting in a presidential election. For young people, time and again, inside and outside of official power, they’re able to move this country ultimately to do the right thing — though it can take a long time and be frustratingly slow." https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/12/25/beto-is-getting-a-swanky-new-job-that-is-the-epitome-of-irony-n2582123A professor teaching how to politic who has failed twice in being elected?
