Ghoulish Stephanie Ruhle Calls on Beto O'Rourke to Exploit Slaughter for ‘Momentum’ "Ruhle cheered on efforts to exploit the tragedy: “Beto O’Rourke, who is from El Paso, has been very forceful. He dropped an f-bomb with reporters yesterday.”
"Too bad for guest Maria Kumar that she wasn't at least alerted when Ruhle gave the warning of "as bad as this may sound." Instead of declining to be pulled into Ruhle's highly inappropriate political fantasies, she just joined right in.
MARIA KUMAR: I think so. I mean, when you look at who the president is most afraid of, you often hear within inner circles that Beto is the one that concerns him.* And it’s not only because he was able to capture the imagination of progressive Texas, he got over 500,000 Republicans to vote for him and he got a lot of independents to vote for him. Let’s not forget Obama lost Texas by 16 points, four years later Hillary lost 9 and two years later Beto lost by a merely two. And it's significant because right now Arizona just went purple. That's 11 electoral votes. Texas has 38 electoral votes. . . .
* No source is given for this statement and of course MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle does not do what a dedicated journalist would do: push for corroboration.
