At this point Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke would probably be better off taking a vow of silence, because every time he opens his mouth and starts spouting off about guns and his newfound appreciation for the Second Amendment, he only highlights the ridiculous flip-flopping he’s done on the right to keep and bear arms over the past few years.
The New York Times does its best to provide some cover for O’Rourke in its latest story on the Democrat’s long-shot campaign to become the next governor of Texas, but even they can’t ignore the fact that O’Rourke’s rallying cry of “Hell yes we’re coming for your AR-15”, unleashed during his short-lived presidential campaign in 2019, is having an impact on Texas voters in 2022.
