Beetle Drops F-Bomb On Live CNN Interview
[DAILYCALLER] Democratic 2020 hopeful Beto O’Rourke;
...Kennedyeque businessman, musician, skateboard artiste, and politician who represented Texas' 16th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. Beto is a Latino nickname for people whose names end in "erto," like "Roberto" or "Alberto." He is seeking the Dem nomination for President in 2020 because he has nice hair and lots of teeth. He was born into a local political family in El Paso, Texas and is a graduate of a prep school and Columbia University, which is not in Texas. In 2005, he was elected to the El Paso City Council. He was elected to Congress in 2012 after defeating eight-term incumbent Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary. He declined to seek re-election in 2018, instead running for the Senate against Republican Ted Cruz, running a campaign that drew national attention because of his skateboarding skills. A few months after he lost, he announced his campaign for President...
let the f-bomb slip during a Sunday morning interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.
SO Edgy™
Bash, who was sitting in for Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," began the segment by showing video of the former Texas congressman discussing gun violence at a recent event ‐ and in that video, O’Rourke’s use of the term "f**ked up" was bleeped.

O’Rourke followed that clip by dropping the same term on the live show.

"The rhetoric that we’ve used, the thoughts and prayers that you just referred to, it has done nothing to stop the epidemic of gun violence, to protect our kids, our families, our fellow Americans in public places," O’Rourke began, listing a few of the more recent tragedies. "At a Walmart in El Paso where 22 were killed. In Sutherland Springs, in a church. One or two a day all over this country, 100 killed daily in the United States of America."

"We’re averaging about 300 mass shootings a year," O’Rourke continued, letting the profanity slip. "So yes, this is fucked up. If we don’t call it out for what it is, if we’re not able to speak clearly, if we’re not able to act decisively, we’ll continue to have this kind of bloodshed in America. And I cannot accept that. We’re going to speak as defiantly and as strongly as we can but we’re also going to take action. Universal background checks, red flag laws, end of the sales of weapons of war and buying those AK-47s and AR-15s back so they cannot be used against our fellow Americans."

#7 Intentional to draw publicly and show a certain edgy hipness to millennials. Disgusting insight into his hubris and ambition which will do anything to achieve what he craves most, attention.
