Beto Tries to Backtrack From Hard-left Positions
by Sydnie Henry
As the Democrat Party has not won a statewide office in more than 20 years, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke has recently been walking back some of the hard-left positions that served him well on the national stage but not as well in Texas.
O’Rourke famously proclaimed in the 2019 Democratic presidential primary debate in Houston, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” in support of mandatory gun buyback programs that would essentially confiscate currently legally owned military-style rifles.
