Robert O’Rourke, who has two recent failed campaigns, wants to protect your Second Amendment rights, you guys:
“I’m not interested in taking anything from anyone. What I want to make sure that we do is defend the Second Amendment,” he said. “I want to make sure that we protect our fellow Texans far better than we’re doing right now. And that we listen to law enforcement, which Greg Abbott refused to do. He turned his back on them when he signed that permitless carry bill that endangers the lives of law enforcement in a state that’s seen more cops and sheriff’s deputies gunned down than in any other.”
Yes, the same O’Rourke who told the country that as president he would take our AR-15s and AK-47s.
Now Robert Francis wants to become the next governor of Texas. I guess the former congressman has no talents to offer the private sector because he cannot stop running for public office no matter how often he fails.
O’Rourke announced his gubernatorial campaign in early November.
O’Rourke told CNN’s Dana Bash that same month that he still holds the view he held during his short presidential campaign.
Then O’Rourke told The Texas Tribune he would “continue to stake out the aggressive gun control stance.”
Remember, this is Texas.
A Hispanic rancher confronted O’Rourke at an appearance: “On behalf of the ranchers, oil and gas, the farmers . . . I’m in your grill telling you, don’t come back. We don’t want you here. You ain’t taking my guns, either!”
A poll one month later, December 2021, showed O’Rourke behind current Gov. Greg Abbott by 15 points.
Yes, Texans like their guns.
Are you stunned that O’Routke told reporters in Tyler, TX, that he no longer wants to take your guns? I’m not.
