Here's something no one seems to have noticed. Beto O'Rourke was arrested years ago for, get this, climbing over a wall. That's quite an irony given that Beto is sure to oppose Trump's proposed border wall.
The excerpt below from a politifact item about the O'Rourke's arrest record tells us about that wall incident, although to be fair to him, the article calls it a "fence." Beto O'Rourke arrested in 1990s for burglary and DWI:
"Some 20 years ago, I was charged with driving under the influence and, during my college years, I jumped a fence at the University of Texas at El Paso which resulted in a burglary charge," O'Rourke said. "I was not convicted of either.
"Both incidents were due to poor judgement and I have no excuse for my behavior then. However, since then, I have used my opportunities to serve my community and my state. I'm grateful for the second chance and believe that we all deserve second chances."
"We all deserve second chances." Would that include Brett Kavanaugh had he actually been guilty of the claim against him?
By the end of Tuesday we'll know whether O'Rourke could climb the wall of worry that Ted Cruz voters have about another Schumer minion in the Senate. In any event, Beto is the new poster child for an ambitious Democrat groomed by the party for higher office. We haven't heard the last from him.
