Last weekend was a funny one in the campaign of Beto O’Rourke. The WSJ called it Beto’s Apology Tour. Here is a list of what happened:

  • compared climate change to assaulting the beaches of Normandy

  • gave an off hand complement to his wife
  • had to apologize for the white privilege in his complement

  • Calls America’s capitalist economy racist
  • Beto says nothing in his past will hinder his 2020 candidacy
  • comes out that he wrote fictional fantasies about plowing over children with a car.
  • apologies for writing fictional fantasies about plowing over children with a car.
  • Beto is a poet?
  • 1990s arrest for driving while intoxicated
  • GOP does funny tweet for St Patrick’s day with mugshot of Robert Francis O’Rourke in a Leprechaun hat

  • Reuters (the media mind you) attempted to do opposition research for Beto in his Senate race against Cruz
  • raised $6.1M in the first 24 hours of his campaign – a record!

This was just his first weekend!
