On Wednesday night, O’Rourke went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, for a conversation heavy on immigration. In stark contrast to his opponent, O’Rourke said he opposed Trump’s planned wall along the Mexican border. He said that Democrats shouldn’t agree to a wall in exchange for relief for Dreamers, and that DACA-recipients should be made citizens. You can watch the full clip below.

Hypocrisy defined: Democrats consider an uncorroborated claim of a 35 year-old high-school incident as a matter serious enough to derail a SCOTUS nomination, but a 20 year-old police report with multiple witnesses of a drunk driving crash & attempt to flee that his Daddy's influence got him out of as nothing to consider in electing a U.S. senator.

The Democrat's cry about the unverified high-school story: "What if it was your daughter?"

My response: "What if your daughter was in the truck Beto crashed into?"

The democrats/media would never be able to get away with this constant, gross double standard were the GOP not complicit.
