Beto O'Rourke says passenger backs his claim of not fleeing after 1998 DUI crash
U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke doubled down Saturday that he did not leave the scene of a 1998 drinking and driving arrest near El Paso, Texas, and added that a passenger inside his vehicle that night backs his story.
"I did not flee,” O’Rourke told Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith during the 2018 Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. "The police report on this is wrong.”
O’Rourke, an El Paso Democrat hoping to unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in November, rejected September 1998 police reports that quoted an unnamed motorist as saying he stopped O’Rourke from fleeing the scene of a DUI crash on Interstate 10.
Appearing as the festival’s closing keynote speaker, O’Rourke said he recently contacted the female passenger to get her recollection of that evening.
“I reached out to the passenger who was in the car that I was driving — who also does not appear in the police report, among other factual errors — somebody that I’ve not spoken to in more than 15 years, and asked her recollection of that evening,” O’Rourke said. “She said, ‘No, we were in the median of the road. We did not try to flee. I don’t know that there was anywhere we could have gone.’”
O’Rourke, celebrating his 26th birthday, crashed into a truck traveling in the same direction at a high rate of speed before careening across the median into the oncoming traffic lanes and coming to a stop, a witness told police.
His blood alcohol level content was 0.136, well above the state legal limit 0.10 at the time.

I hope this isn't true. None the less it shows the level Republicans are willing to stoop to.

What the hell is this shitgibbon primitive claiming that the republicans are stooping to? Hard telling.
Going after Robert for getting shit faced, crashing his car, and trying to flee the scene is legitimate criticism in a political campaign--certainly no stooping there.
He conjures up a passenger to back up his BS claims , a passenger whose name doesn't appear in the police report of the incident.
Nice try, Beto.

Ahh yes. The "anonymous source" backing up Beto's claim. How novel an idea.

According to democrat standards, he did nothing wrong. Kennedy drove off a bridge while drunk and killed a girl and got away with it. :thatsright:

Please folks, don't let O'Rourke culturally misappropriate Hispanics. He is not Hispanic at all.
Please refer to him as Robert or Rob, or Robby. He's a pajama boy Beta male, so refer to him as that if you prefer.

Nail head, hammer.
Mr. Wiggum is 110% correct and on point.

BetHeBlows is as guilty as the day is getting shorter as Fall approaches...

Two words: Police report.
IIRC, Bobby pled guilty and went into some sort of intervention program. I wonder if in so doing he agreed that the police report was correct?

robert francis o'rourke.
A Mick.

I am surprised that Beta O'rourke did not claim the only reason he got in trouble with the law is because they thought he was Hispanic. Or maybe that is coming.

I wonder if his un-named passenger's name is Christine Blasey.....

If he had only driven his unnamed female passenger into a body of water and then left her to die, there would be no convincing anyone about him leaving the scene of the accident. Everyone would believe him!

Yep, the Rs have once again stooped to Truthing. How Deplorable!

Well played! H5!

Mark is just upset because it's looking like this guy can't buy Cruz's Senate seat. The current polling on this race is crazy, this is for Texas, metrosexuals don't do well on a federal level.
