Beto bombs bigly in long interview with the Washington Post

Thomas Lifson   "When a CNN[!] anchor warns that “It’s a fine line to walk between being a blank canvas and an empty vessel,” a pretty boy, Kennedyesque empty suit progressive candidate, already recognizable by his first name alone, is in trouble.

 "Beto looks like a beta, if we are to judge by the Washington Post’s account of his “lengthy” interview with their writer Jenna Johnson. The title gives away the verdict: “Beto O’Rourke’s immigration plan: No wall but no specifics.” The lead paragraphs are no kinder. Jenna Johnson wrote:

In a digital ad that recently went viral, Beto O’Rourke tore into President Trump’s desired border wall with soaring footage of the Rio Grande Valley and an explanation of what the wall would do: cut off access to the river, shrink the size of the United States and force the seizure of privately-held land.
It noted that most undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States in the past decade came not over the border but on visas that then expired.
So what should be done to address visa overstays?
“I don’t know,” O’Rourke said, pausing in a lengthy interview.

"The vacuity was so obvious that even CNN anchor Brianna Keilar felt compelled to raise the alarm. The segment is embedded below, but Tommy Christopher of Mediaite cuts to the chase:

Keilar brought up O’Rourke’s recent interview with The Washington Post‘s Jenna Johnson, during which O’Rourke seemed to have trouble answering several questions.    . . .  

Picture elite US Troops lining up to present arms for this guy.

When it comes to the border, 'Beto' doubles down on dumb "Just when you think politics cannot get any stupider in this country, in skateboards Robert Francis O’Rourke."That would be the same Robert Francis O’Rourke of privileged upbringing and expensive boarding school pedigree who today goes by “Beto” because it sounds Hispanic now that he has decided to get into electoral politics.
"Whatever happened to all the outrage over “cultural appropriation”? You cannot say it is only a problem when conservatives or Republicans do it. Just look at wacky left wing Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose national political ambitions have been crushed by her shameless smash-and-grab at trying to be “Pocahontas” for electoral purposes.

"It is all so deeply, deeply stupid. It would all be pathetically funny, except that it is all so toxic and detrimental to a body politic founded upon and devoted to all people being equal." . . .

 

2020: Beto O’Rourke Woos Al Sharpton  "Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) reportedly chatted with left-wing civil rights activist Al Sharpton on Friday and plan to meet in the near future as the progressive lawmaker considers launching a presidential bid in 2020." . . .
Does O'Rourke share Sharpton's dislike for Jews?
