Beto O’Rourke: We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power
Beto O’Rourke showed up as a guest on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Show host Jake Tapper asked O’Rourke about the move by Texas Republicans to conduct redistricting. The Democrats want to frustrate this effort, but they are in the minority. O’Rourke started his response by claiming that President Donald Trump’s policies were going to take 2 million Texans out of Medicaid. He also claimed that $1 trillion worth of wealth would be transferred to the richest 1%.
From Breitbart:
O’Rourke said, “Donald Trump’s policies, whether it’s the Big, Beautiful Bill that’s going to take nearly 2 million Texans off of Medicaid or transfer nearly $1 trillion of wealth to the richest 1% at the expense of working families. His policies are deeply unpopular. He doesn’t want to face accountability from the voters, and he’s worried about keeping his very slim majority in Congress. So he’s trying to pick up five seats through this redistricting process in Texas. Now to your question about how we fight back, there are a number of things that we can do. One, the Democratic state legislators can deny their Republican colleagues a quorum to be able to move forward on this.”
He added, “There’s more that we can do. Governor Gavin Newsom in California has talked about a redistricting in his state. I think it’s time that we match fire with fire. I think Democrats in the past too often have been more concerned with being right than being in power. And we’ve seen the Republicans only care about being in power regardless of what is right.”
Tapper said, “So you support the Newsom effort because California right now has an independent commission that does districts in as fair a way as possible in nonpartisan way as possible. You’re saying Democrats should, even though you don’t approve of it, Democrats should do it, too?”
O’Rourke said, “We have to get serious. We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power. So, yes, in California, in Illinois, in New York, wherever we have the trifecta of power, we have to use that to its absolute extent. And then the last thing this may end up biting Republicans in the. You have the possibility that they will disperse Republican voters to make up these three or 4 or 5 new congressional districts and put those districts in play. So in Texas, we’ve got to get out there and register and meet the voters who are going to decide the outcomes in these next elections. If they’re successful with this redistricting, our group powered by people is doing this right now on the ground. We can’t wait for 2026. We’ve got to do the work right now in 2025.”

We need to be ruthless in ridding ourselves of parasitic growths like “Beto” O’Rourke.
Treat him and his pappy like vermin and apply plenty of bleach afterwards.
Beto is a three-time loser.
Every day the biggest intellectual struggle I face is trying to figure out whether “Beto” O’Rourke or Stacey Abrams is the bigger failure. Abrams has the size part locked in, and actually won something, but Beto and his patronizing name and failure at multiple echelons has a lot of failure baked in.
Ugh. Choices.
They say that he can really ride a skateboard.
By sheer poundage, she surely has him beat. But when it comes to mendacity, he has her beat. Maybe that is why his nickname is Beato.
“Ruthless”, eh?
Like; spying on opponents, causing/financing riots, locking up political rivals, manufacturing evidence in an impeachment trial, using threats of violence and violence to further your political goals, attempt to assassinate the leading candidate for POTUS and Supreme Court Justice(s), etcetcetc?
Yes, ‘Beato’, it is time to be more ruthless.
Fucking guy is an absolute retarded son of a bitch. Glad he pulls so much weight in the leftosphere cult of dumb fucks.
The part that bothers the most about him is that he is from Texas! What an embarrassment!
From El Paso, a blue city forever
Yes Sir, and if FT Bliss was to go away, the town would dry up.
There is plenty of smuggling to keep it afloat.
One of my favorite Proggy 0bamunists lives I El Paso.
Hell Paso, best thing about it is Taco Cabana (can get margaritas and Dos Equis w/ your food there).
If they were serious about being ruthless, step one would be getting rid of losers like Beta. I imagine “ruthless” is code for “unlawful” for the minority party instead.
“I think Democrats in the past too often have been more concerned with being right than being in power.”
Beto, you gotta be shitting me.
Funny, I took a big Beto this morning 🤣
My dog also just dropped a huge, steaming pile of Phil Monkress in my neighbor’s yard this morning.
Hey man, he’s just concerned with securing some political lebensraum.
Let’m cook…
Beta’s mentor implored the Dems to “toughen up.” He’s just being a good little Bundist parroting the party’s next media blitz.
Big words for a dude next to Anthony Weiner on the Epstein island visitor’s list (Rob Reiner and Robert Deniro circled):
This the same Beto?
Affirmative, worst portrayal of a hispanic by a dude of Irish ancestry since Ernest “Che” Lynch, Jr. (although Che actually was bilingual).
How is this clown even still relevant?
$$$$$
Beto’s pappy is/was a ‘fixer’ for the (D)emon-rats in El Paso. He’s learned corruption at his pappy’s knee.
Absolutely
Either him or it’s Hunter-AOC 2028 for Democrats:
https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1947306428223349065
In the cult of Dims and their anti-American faction he’s even more relevant today
DJT won the popular vote. Using the machine against itself is old hat for these Alinskyites.
They will not stop until… (NSFW, strong language, puppet vomit):
He’s married to a filthy-rich Heiress, his Daddy-in-Law is worth around half a billion.
Plus, I don’t believe he has ever had a real JOB, like the rest of us that can’t mooch off rich relatives and grift for a living.
So you’re saying he wants to be the new John Heinz Kerry?
With that set of chomppers, I’ll just bet that he could be ruthless on an ear of corn!
Beatoff O’Rourke looks like he could chew an oak tree down faster than a platoon of beavers!
Ruthless? I.E., without Ruth?
Anyone seen Ruth lately?
Seems we’re missing one Ruth.
I found him:
Carl found it
Since this fraud is just making up BS, not make it $2 or $3 trillion? The statement is entirely speculative.
Bobby Francis attempting to be relevant again and failing.
Lighten up Francis.
Beto O’Rourke is about as tough and smart as a worn-out pair of pantyhose.
Redistricting is ok when the Dems do it. They did it to the state house and Senate seats in Oregon and, along with vote by mail, turned the GOP into a super minority.
