NEW: Beto O’Rourke tells Morning_Joe that Joe Biden would be a “return to the past.” “You cannot go back to the end of the Obama administration and think that that's good enough.'
Asked if Biden was a “return to the past” Thursday, O’Rourke answered affirmatively, hitting the former Delaware senator over the Hyde Amendment, his support for the Iraq War and other tissues.
“He is," O'Rourke said."And that cannot be who we are going forward. We've got to be bigger. You've got to ask yourself where Joe Biden is on the issues that are most important to you.
“I'm not exactly sure what he believes or what he should apologize for. I only know that this country should be able to do far better,” O’Rourke said. Biden has called his support of the Iraq War"a mistake," saying on NBC's"Meet the Press" in 2005 that he should not have assumed President George W. Bush"would use the authority we gave him properly."
The then-senator added in that interview that he"never argued that there was an imminent threat. We gave the president the authority to unite the world to isolate Saddam, and the fact of the matter is, we went too soon, we went without sufficient force and we went without a plan."
