Beto calls Trump and Sanders responsible for the shootings

The following is satire.

Robert Francis O'Rourke, who uses the fake name Beto to gain credibility with the Mexican voters, was on a roll this week. On Sunday, he went on a boatload of morning TV shows with perfect teeth. We know this because he displayed his choppers on YouTube when he taped himself at his dental hygienists office.

He was responding to the horrific shooting that took place at an El Paso Walmart on Saturday. In fact, he left the campaign trail, where he appears to be circling the bowl in his ratings, to talk politics even before all the bodies had been recovered from the store.

When he appeared on the Comedy News Network's [CNN] "State of the Union," hosted by Jake Tapper, he blamed President Trump for the shooter's attack on innocent people. He compared Trump to none other than Adolf Hitler, the go-to villain Democrats compare all Republicans, who are in power or are seeking power, to. Robert [aka Beto] said that Trump's "anti-immigrant rhetoric" was the catalyst for the attack, in spite of the fact that Trump never said anything anti-immigrant, he was referring only to illegal immigrants.

O'Rourke also said that Trump's language is comparable to something you might hear from the "Third Reich." As it turns out, O'Rourke's language is something you might hear at an anti-American socialist rally in the 1950s.

But to O'Rourke's credit, he also blamed Bernie Sanders (D-VT) for the shooting in Alexandria, Virginia in which one of Sanders' supporters shot at the House Republicans who were at a baseball practice for their annual charity game against the Democrats.

Steve Scalise, the majority whip, was shot and nearly died. O'Rourke was very upset with Bernie and told Tapper just how much he thought Sanders ought to resign from politics for his role in the shooting.

At one point Tapper pressed O’Rourke over a point pertaining to the hatred the shooter had for Trump, and by extension, the entire Republican Party.

"So, former congressman," Tapper began, "you tweeted that Bernie Sanders needs to own up to his responsibility in the Alexandria, Virginia shooting, because if it wasn't for his anti-Trump statements, Steve Scalise would not have been shot on that ball field. How can you blame Sanders for the violent behavior of another person? I can see you blaming Trump, but why Sanders?

After a lengthy pause, and a serious look of rehearsed pondering, O’Rourke began to flail his arms and responded: "I don't know what point you're trying to make, Jake. But it's pretty obvious to me that anything that Trump says is racist, and anything my opponents say leads to violence as well. Those are my thoughts and I stand behind them. Let's not pretend that I'm not the most qualified person to beat Trump and do a better job than Sanders--the guy can't even pronounce simple words. Did you ever hear him try to say the words 'Wall Street?'"

Tapper pointed out that much of O'Rourke's criticism of Sanders isn't very nice and he should reconsider and possibly try redirecting all criticism toward the president like CNN does.
