KEENE, N.H. -- Beto O'Rourke began his rally with a non sequitur.He told a story of how he was killing time at a park a few hours earlier when he happened upon a woman pounding on a set of drums, with her car parked next to her, and the radio blasting "Any Way You Want It" by Journey."
He told a story of how he was killing time at a park a few hours earlier when he happened upon a woman pounding on a set of drums, with her car parked next to her, and the radio blasting “Any Way You Want It” by Journey.O’Rourke, the pin-balling presidential candidate from Texas, told the audience that he felt fortunate to have witnessed such “a beautiful, powerful, transcendent moment.” He then got to the point of his story.
In the heightened aftermath of the slaughter, the once-celebrated candidate has found himself restored, or at least closer, to the place of political prominence he seemed to relinquish from the second he began running for president early this year. Story continuesHe was also admonished by many Democratic leaders who worried that his vow to take away guns would confirm every caricature of a radicalized left intent on punishing law-abiding gun owners. “I don’t know of any other Democrat who agrees with Beto O’Rourke,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, said in a conference call with reporters.
O’Rourke says he could not give a damn about adhering to the niceties of campaigns, and he has been proving as much with his frequent deployment of four-letter words more incendiary than “damn.” “Oh, I’m really grateful to anyone who would forgo a perfectly fine movie or dinner date to spend some time on a Friday night with a candidate for the presidency,” O’Rourke replied, offering perhaps the only possible answer a politician could give .
“And I was like, ‘Sure, but you can’t just walk into someone’s house like this.’ And they were like ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.’” At one point, Cory Booker was asked whether Americans should abide by vegan diets, as he does. The New Jersey senator replied: “No,” and added, “actually, I want to translate that into Spanish — ‘No.”
