Washington Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on Sunday said he was recently given documents showing that he and his wife, Amy, are descendants of slave owners, writing in a Medium post that the legacy of slavery"now has a much more personal connection."
The post by O'Rourke says his paternal great-great-great grandfather owned two women, Rose and Eliza, in the 1850s and it's likely his maternal great-great-great grandfather owned slaves in the 1860s. O'Rourke writes that his wife Amy had an ancestor who owned slaves and another who fought in the Confederate Army.Beto O'Rourke Fast Facts"I benefit from a system that my ancestors built to favor themselves at the expense of others," the former Texas congressman said.
'Beto' would say that he and his wife owned space aliens if he thought it would improve his chances of getting elected.
He can forget it now if he hadn’t already
Beto is getting desperate
So woke he hanged himself in front of all those progressive people... the Dems really need to stop pandering to the loud minority of idiots cause they won't beat Trump like this.
And
Who cares?
Let’s be fair here, I’d imagine most people alive have both slave owner and slave blood in their lineages. It’s a discussion of how recent.
He should just drop out and not because of this
Give away all your money to a black family
Be prepared to prove it.
Ok then, when and where for the public execution 👿😬😱😡🤯🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Welp
So what🙄️
He should step down as a presidential candidate emediatly. If he doesn't he obviously supports white supremacy.
Okay. A lot of people have this in their family tree. What can you do in 2019? He is on a nonstop apology tour. It makes him look weak.
So?
Beto is just getting ahead of the story that was going to come out anyway
What a wanna be Mexican....
BetoOSlavo
This guy learn pretty quick from the self claimed Pocahontas lady. I guessed he meant he has African blood flowing inside his white body. Nice try boy! This tactic not going to work for you. You need to learn more from fake news. Go get a job at CNN
So what? He didn’t choose his ancestry.
Those who come after him definitely won't be descendents of a President of the United States.
And?
'To this day I don´t even know. She could be sold off to America, like a lot more was done. ... It has been said that children were trafficked across to the United States... 796 children...some of those have been adopted illegaly. ... We took their babies'
Please go away. Far away. BetoORourke
Way to mess up the narrative and give a both sides narrative to bury how messed up Mitch’s comment is. BetoORourke apple’s not too far from the tree, as we know this just broke CNN. All that other is now both sides nuances. Drop out.
Only in this generation are people expected to answer for their ancestors’ lives
Can you imagine the joy on his face when he opened those documents?
Yo, SenWarren, what you think?
I have a feeling that every person in America is either a descendant of slave owners or descendants of slaves.
So he and his wife come from at least 5th Generation privilege? And we are supposed to think he is going to look out for the working class?
And?
More white Americans would do well to look into the past and acknowledge their connection to slavery. It seems only black people do this.
He really is a Democrat.
And ?
What? Who gives a fuck?
Nobody truly cares. Some pretend to care. So pretend it matters. It doesn't. Anyone who says it does is an idiot.
And? Nobody. Cares.
He is so done....next
Just lost the race ... Oh well
honestyisthebestpolicy
Beto is finished.
It just keeps getting better and better for Beto. 🤣😂
Which would normally mean he's a racist, except that he's a leftist, so maybe he's not a racist, unless he gets more votes than a person with darker skin, and then he reverts back to being a racist.
Okay, so enough with the slave ownership.
Wow, so was the family of Kamala Harris.
Bahahahahahahahaha omg no wonder the entire left wing is crumbling.
Who cares!
