Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke is backtracking on his vow to confiscate certain types of guns. He's now just saying this as he wants to be governor of Texas.
I wouldn't trust him even if the heavens opened up and a voice comes out of the clouds and says he's telling the truth.
The Washington Examiner reported:
Former presidential and U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke just isn’t very good at the whole politics thing.
A skilled politician would know how to make his flip-flops less obvious.
O’Rourke, who is running for governor in Texas, said this week he has no intention of confiscating certain types of firearms from lawful gun owners.
“I’m not interested in taking anything from anyone,” the Democratic candidate said this week during a campaign stop in Tyler, Texas. “What I want to make sure that we do is defend the Second Amendment.”
He added, “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.”
Gubernatorial candidate Beto, meet presidential hopeful Beto.
In 2020, during the Democratic presidential primary, O’Rourke asserted unequivocally that, if given the chance and the authority, he would absolutely confiscate AR-15-style firearms.
“Hell yes,” an overconfident O’Rourke said to thunderous applause. “We’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.”
He kept up the refrain throughout his short-lived presidential candidacy.
