Beto on Bondage: Compares Illegal Immigrants To Slaves


Published 13 hours ago on Apr 28, 2019

Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke made a stunning gaffe on the campaign trail Sunday, comparing illegal immigrants who get to live in our country to slaves.
“Millions living in the shadows, working some of the toughest jobs, lucky to make a minimum wage, some not even making that, kept in modern day bondage,” O’Rourke said of illegal immigrants. O’Rourke was presumably not referring to the victims of human trafficking who literally live in slavery on U.S. soil, their pimps granted amnesty by our left-wing immigration laws.

O’Rourke attended Woodberry Forest Prep School in Virginia, where Confederate flag photos were found in his all boys’ prep school yearbook.
O’Rourke recently made surprising comments about breaking up privilege in America, considering his own privileged background and the wealth of his wife Amy Hoover Sanders O’Rourke, who was profiled by Town and Country.

O’Rourke attended Woodberry Forest prep school, which is one of the most expensive prep schools in America. He was known there as “Robert.” The current tuition at Woodberry Forest plus room and board is registered at $57,250 per year.
Brent Scher reports:
“It is in the space reserved for pictures of different groups that the Confederate flags can be found. Both the North Carolina Club and the Georgia Club (the school boasts a student body from states across the country) chose to feature the “Stars and Bars” in their yearbook submissions.
Pictures of the clubs in the previous year, when O’Rourke was also enrolled, similarly feature the flag.
There was also a Texas Club at the school, but O’Rourke does not appear to have been a member. The Texas Club did not showcase any Confederate flags in its yearbook entry.”

Beto O’Rourke, formerly known by the moniker Psychedelic Warlord, is under fire for his role in the hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow. Now, some of his poetry is reportedly coming to light, including the poem, “The Song of the Cow.”
Beto’s team has not responded to our request for comment on the content of O’Rourke’s poem “The Song of the Cow.”

Democrat Robert O’Rourke suggests taxing people for being white

May 11

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke suggested Thursday using the tax code to address income inequity by transferring wealth from rich white residents to African-Americans.
During a campaign event at the Salem, N.H., home of James Smith, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, about 100 attendees gathered to see and listen to the former congressman from Texas congressman, according to reports.
One person asked O’Rourke how he would use the tax code to help minorities.
He first responded by detailing the difficulties African-Americans have faced in trying to build wealth in the face of what he said was institutional discrimination.
“What if in the tax code we did a better job of breaking down that accumulated wealth, of taxing it so it is not producing the greatest income and wealth inequality that we’ve seen in our lifetimes, unseen since the Gilded Age of the 19th century?” O’Rourke said after noting the wealth gap between black and white America. “What if we decided that we would use the proceeds to invest in people, in education?”

Critics have chided O’Rourke and accused him of benefitting from male and white privilege.New York Times reporter Lisa Lerer criticized the way the former lawmaker has managed his campaign.“Imagine, they say, if Beto were Betsy,” Lerer wrote in her March 11 column. “What would the reception have been if a female candidate left her three small children home and spent several weeks traveling the country, posting stream-of-consciousness diary entries? Or if she chose to forgo a Senate race that would provide a greater opportunity for victory?
”At the New Hampshire gathering, one woman asked O’Rourke how he, “as a privileged, white man, kind of, lead the racial healing that we need and withstand the rise of white supremacy,” according to the Examiner.“I can choose to do this as a white man, to involve myself in this conversation. I can just as easily choose to back out of it,” O’Rourke said.
“All I can tell you is I’m doing everything I can to listen to those who are experiencing this, to call it out as boldly and as plainly as I can,” he continued. “My commitment to you is to continue to do that, to acknowledge my privilege and the experience that is far different from others who are here right now.”

A Quinnipiac University National Poll released April 30 found O’Rourke has support from 5 percent of Democratic voters.
