When your campaign is lagging and your best bet for catching your opponent is slipping away, lots of candidates resort to tactics and even language they figure might get them some free publicity. Why not? What does Robert Francis O’Rourke have to lose at this point?
The faux Hispanic’s best bet for pulling even with incumbent Greg Abbott in the race for Texas Governor was to pray for disaster. He was saying nightly prayers to Gaia, hoping the state’s electrical grid would collapse as it did in the Great Freeze of ’21. But not only did the Lone Star State make it through the winter just fine, it’s navigated a blistering hot summer too, meeting record power demand.
Hot summers are nothing new here in Texas. But with the state absorbing invading hordes of refugees from hellholes on both coasts (as well as Illinois) over the last few years, power demand earlier this summer topped California and New York combined. And the grid handled it.
While that’s good news for Texans, it’s bad news for “Beto.” So, with his best shot at narrowing the gap in the polls looking less likely, he’s reverting to form. He embarrassed himself publicly, trying to pin the blame for the Uvalde school shooting on Abbott during a press conference. That pretty much backfired. So now he’s back to inveighing against scary-looking guns and waiving the bloody shirt.
Everyone remembers his famous “hell yes” moment during his failed presidential bid when he promised to confiscate Americans’ AR-15s and AK47s. Now, after some wildly transparent lies that no one in Texas bought, he’s doing what he does best, brooking no dissent from anyone in his attempt to blame an AR rifle for the Uvalde shooting. And he’s trying to convince Texans their gun laws are too permissive.
During a campaign stop yesterday in Mineral Wells, Texas, Robert Francis went full street preacher while proclaiming the evils of “weapons of war” in the hands of civilians. When one attendee had trouble swallowing Beto’s bullsh!t and snickered audibly, the candidate pounced.
As Fox News reports, O’Rourke told the man . . .
“It may be funny to you mother—-er,” but it’s not funny to me,” he shouts as supporters cheer.
The assembled crowd dutifully gave him a standing O. It isn’t clear how his campaign managed to cobble together that many supporters so far outside a major population center, but with record amounts of cash pouring in from outside the state, logistics are much easier.
And…mission accomplished. Robert Francis’s F-bomb got him the coverage he’d hoped for. What’s less clear is whether MF-ing Texans on the trail will do much to get him the votes he desperately needs in November.
the giggler wasn’t laughing about guns.
That isn’t funny to O’Rourke either…

I just bet the fake Hispanic ‘beto’ has this on his play list :
I’ve used weapons of war. But then I served. What years was beto ion?
In not ion. Stupid small key board.
After giggling and being cursed at by this wimp I may have hurt his feelings with my next comment or two…Of course, I would never be present at a planned event by this beta anyway.
RE:ILLANNOY refugees. I knew several folks who moved to Texas around 40 some years ago. They all moved back to ILL-hated it. Now? We’re planning a move east sometime. Oh Beatoff is a putz…
One of the days he WILL insult the wrong person…then he will get his tougness tested…
It turns out the snickerer was a paid O’Rourke plant there to give Bob his hero moment.
Ah, now that adds up. Figured even with a gaggle of goons – oops, “security detail”, Senior Beta wouldn’t have the chutzpah to curse out another man in public. Being a slice of astroturf makes perfect sense.
Made up for the laughs, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
It seemed fake as all get out
:laughs in Remington 870, 700, Garrard, Springfield, Lee Enfield, Mauser, Trapdoor 45-70:
Beto: fake Mexican, real pende-jo
My .50 is friggin’ hi-larious, I don’t know what urinated in this guy’s breakfast Os or other various shapes.
LMFAO
I don’t find the weapons themselves funny at all.
But people like O’Rourke and assorted other nuggets of communistic joy are funny as hell!
Beto:
We don’t laugh with you, we laugh AT you.
Remember, no one’s coming for your guns.
Umm …. oops.
At least Robert can be trusted to live up to his promises.
Umm … oops, again.
If it weren’t for idiots and assholes like Beto, the news media wouldn’t have anything to talk about. So they serve a purpose, albeit a disgusting one.
Its 2022, isnt having incestuous relationships with your mother something to be proud of?
The guy should have taken it as a compliment
It is The Progressive way. All perversions not only tolerated but even encouraged.
*celebrated
I’ve became a MFer the first time we did it after my first kid. Wife said your a real MFer now.
Beto’s Tuff with two F’s.
There was a Miami-based hair-metal band in the mid 1980s named “Tuff Luck”.
They weren’t particularly good.
EDIT – Found ’em.
Beta male O’Rourke is attempting to act like a real man. The weapons of war stuff is wearing thinner than my hairline. 22 years I handled actual weapons of war. Only time I handled an AR was after I retired from service. I’ve used a Colt AR15A2 as my primary varmint rifle since the mid 1980’s Since it won’t liquify a Racoon or Coyote, nor vaporize the head of a Prairie Dog or Red Fox, I doubt it will do so on a human. And, since many varmints are fur bearers, I don’t want a rifle that will leave foot wide exit wounds. The AR leaves nice, neat 1/4-inch holes going in and if any exit wound, it is also a nice little round hole.
My actual weapons of war/GI Surplus etc. rifles would do much more damage on small critters. Many states don’t allow the .223 Remington/5.56NATO round to be used for deer hunting. Not powerful enough.
Sorry Beta Male, you and your disarmament buddies wouldn’t do anything but soil yourselves if someone showed up with a weapon of war. The bad thing is idiots like Beta Male or Minny Mike, or the Moms Demand Hot Action crowd want the people disarmed while they have full time armed security guards. You want everyone disarmed? Fine, As I tell the climate cultists about their foolishness, you first and demonstrate how it’s done. Go without your armed guards and security details and hang out in the hood for a couple weeks.
When one hears this from coddled politicians you know it is really Oscar level BS. From his frequent lack of self control it looks like he should use the moniker Fredo as opposed to Beto. Also, the phoney Mexican thing is really warn out. Privileged White boys just never carry that off very well.
kabuki theater
I curse a lot, language doesn’t upset me. But Robert Francis is such a pansy. When this sort of thing is done to present yourself as a tough guy when everyone knows you’re an immature douche, I find that funny.
Can’t wait to vote this clown out of existence in November.
As Mark Twain would say, he knows the words, but not the music.
Beto is a f*ing moron. If he had any conviction he would self-immolate as a protest.
Hey Beat-o, your mother thought it was funny.
