Dude, bro, Roberto, that's, like, totally not cool!

TBF, he told us all about the DUI part (though I never saw it reported in the MSM). But he conveniently left out the part about fleeing the scene and getting tackled by his attempted victims. He then paid the DA to make the charges go away, which they did. Prior to that (in 1995), Robert was arrested for burglarizing a school, although the DA dropped those charges too.

Read the MSM news article below:

New details are being released about Texas Senate Democratic nominee Beto O’Rourke’s arrest 20 years ago for drunken driving, including how a witness at the time reportedly said O’Rourke attempted to flee the scene after crashing his car.

The Houston Chronicle published police reports from O’Rourke’s September 1998 DWI arrest in Texas near the New Mexico border. The records, according to the paper, indicate the incident was a “more serious threat to public safety than has previously been reported.”

The arrest has long been public knowledge, but the details in the police reports had not.

The police reports published by the paper state that a witness said O’Rourke was driving drunk at a “high rate of speed” in a 75 mph zone on the interstate when he lost control and hit a truck. O’Rourke’s car crossed the center median and into oncoming lanes, the police report says, though no one was injured.

According to the paper, a witness stopped at the scene and said O’Rourke tried to drive away.

“The driver attempted to leave the accident but was stopped by the [witness],” a police officer wrote, according to the police report.

The Beto regime has consolidated power on the Left as Robert attempts to conquer Texas. ^^^ Here he is making some gesture at his devotees.

Real piece O’Work, this guy!

When drunk drivers blow over on breathalizers they should also be forced to blow a tailpipe.

Your title says witnesses, your article says witness.

Came here to make a Jones joke, was soundly beaten to the punch

 

[Ruprecht]

That's some serious muckraking. Are they worried he stands a chance to win?

 

[LMP]

At least he didn't pay porn stars for sex. If he had, it really would have fired up my moral outrage.

He got a DUI in 1998?

The guy is a piece of shit, but so is this post. It's one witness, not multiple witnesses. And your attempt to claim that is a nazi salute is a major fail.

Wow. A dui 20 years ago is a campaign killer in today’s political climate.

 

[xcvbn]

At least he didn't pay porn stars in an effort to prevent negative attention towards a campaign, without ever disclosing the payments as part of his campaign, then lie about it.

Ftfy

No clue who this guy is

Is it true his nickname is a ruse to fool Hispanics? That's worse than a drunken episode in 98.

 

[Ruprecht]

Apparently the Texas GOP is also circulating his old band pics as an attempted smear.

I know you don't like me, but try to be fair. The impression I got from the story is that he was detained by more than one person (as that is usually the case when perps try to flee). I haven't read the police report, so I'm not sure how many witnesses it was either way.

But why are you quibbling over that detail? What, you think that make it worse if he got detained by multiple witnesses instead of just one? Fuck that, this guy tried to flee. He's through. I'll take Lyin' Ted over Hit'n'Run DUI Robert.

And your attempt to claim that is a nazi salute is a major fail.

I never said he made a "Nazi salute."

He's running against Ted Cruz.
