Immediately after the Texas primary, Senator Cruz ran an ad going after his Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke for changing his name to sound more Hispanic in Texas.
1) While O’Rourke’s first name is indeed legally Robert and he is white, he has used the traditionally Hispanic nickname Beto for decades. He also has not tried to hide his real one.
2) “Ted” Cruz did exactly the same thing. Before moving to Texas as a child, he was born Rafael Edward Cruz — in another country, no less.
Well go figure!
Click the link and see a really quite picture of Mr. O’Rourke as a child wearing a Beto t-shirt!
And really, Rafael, do you think anyone is really going to mistake an O’Rourke for a son of the old sod Mexico? And I wonder if Ted will be celebrating this Saturday! I bet Beto will be!!
