Beto O’Rourke: Dems Are Scared of Being Branded as Hypocrites, It Has Paralyzed Them in This Struggle for Power, the Other Side Isn’t Worried at All

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPPER: “You say it sounds confusing, but others might say it‘s hypocritical that you‘re saying this is a horrible thing, and it‘s members of Congress choosing their voters instead of the other way around. And now Democrats need to embrace it.”

O’ROURKE: “You know, I think that Democrats have been so scared of being branded as hypocrites or coloring outside of the lines that it is absolutely paralyzed them in this struggle for power in America, you don‘t see the other side worrying about any of that at all. Donald Trump defying the Constitution, the rule of law, the courts trying to dismantle our very democracy in front of our eyes. Right now where we sit, we have got to fight back. We cannot roll over. We cannot play dead. We cannot submit to them as Democrats for far too long have done. We‘ve got to fight back with everything that we‘ve got by every single means necessary. If we don‘t do that, Jake, we are going to lose this country and the people that we serve, that we represent, that we want to fight for, they‘re going to be hurt even more than they are right now.”
