On his second day of events in Nashville, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke met with immigrants and refugees living in Tennessee on Monday for a roundtable discussion. O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman, first held a rally at Marathon Music Works on Sunday, drawing hundreds of supporters to the campaign event where he largely focused on immigration and decried President Donald Trump's policies on detaining migrants at the southern border. The Monday roundtable was organized by TIRRC Votes, the political action committee of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition. O'Rourke's campaign reached out to the organization about holding the meeting

Well, Robert, the only reason you're able to stand there and spout off your putrid lies is because of those 'white supremists' that you detest so much. Of course, Robert never heard of Barak Obama or MLK. All he can do is lob lies and vomit from the sidelines. Pathetic.

Why in the world hasn’t he given up yet? Oodles of campaign money?

If ever there was a country founded on white supremacy, it was England, which went on to rule the British Empire, upon which the sun never set, and house the "white man's burden," a racially based philosophy of noblesse oblige.
We rebelled, as Beto may recall. Our first and most significant promise was the principle that "all men are created equal."
His puerile revision of history is embarrassing. He's an idiot.

In this article we learn that Tennessee is following Texas right down the rat hole. I grieve to say this, and I mean no disrespect. It looks like an inevitable course. His way of thinking is foolish and cowardly and pin-headed and downright wrong. What are we doing now---setting ourselves on fire?

The second sentence should read: "...a rally at Marathon Music Works on Sunday, drawing hundreds of illegal supporters yearning to vote illegally..."
After all, citizens are fleeing NYS and Cuomo is replacing them with illegals in the hopes of keeping his horde House of Representative seats, most of which are in NYC.

I think the only reason he and a couple of the other Losers-in-Denial are sticking in is so they can skim campaign money and get the free Secret Service protection, which is a nice status symbol.

#10, I'm reasonably certain that Beto isn't getting Secret Service protection. I don't think any of the candidates are yet.

Lawd love a duck. What a tool. Imagine him with Edith Ann as VP. Never mind.
I think we should have a class action against the Board of Education for cranking out stupid people who will destroy the country.

If the GOP hasn’t yet figured out that the Dems fully intend to steal this election with illegal voting, it’s getting a bit late to wake up and smell the coffee!

I volunteered for TIRRC a couple of years ago, when the main project was one I support: tutoring legal immigrants for citizenship exams. I noticed that some aspiring immigrants are avid to become American in every sense of the word --- more power to them! ---and some are quite definitely not.
Now that TIRRC has one Left and gone idiotic, they will not have my support.

White supremacy? Neato Beto, have you ever heard the phrase; all men are created equal. Look, since the beginning of civilization, slavery has been the norm, it was the USA and England that eliminated it on a near hemispherical dimension for the first time in history. There are some that are trying to bury this truth, and you are helping.

The message is tailored for people that hate America, and Robert O'Rourke is pandering to them. Sickening. What is wrong with people? How many people in the audience are even eligible to vote?

The Help America Vote Act, pushed through after Florida showed it didn't know how to count votes, requires provisional ballots.
I expect an army of lawyers, working for the DNC, to go after those provisional ballots to convert them into regular ballots.
Flood the voting places, just the way illegals are fllooding our southern border. Make everything delayed, by flooding the courts.
It could take months to resolve the election.
And that is depressing.

One of the old strongholds of the Klan is no place to be preaching about "white supremacy." Go ahead, Beto, use that line in West Virginia when you stand there in front of the many Robert Byrd monuments. That should get you some good applause.
