We’ve all heard that Beto O’Rourke was once arrested for driving drunk, and that’s bad. What was worse was when he in a debate with Sen. Ted Cruz contradicted the police report that he had tried to flee the scene of the accident after he hit a truck — a claim which earned him four Pinocchios from the Washington Post’s fact checker.
There’s plenty to dislike about O’Rourke’s politics, but some free advice: maybe stay away from the word “reckless.”
Ted Cruz recklessly shut down the government of the United States for 16 days because he thought too many people were getting too much health care. #TeamBeto #TexasDebate

Reckless like drunk driving and trying to flee the scene of a near-fatal crash? https://t.co/ChQNZkOj4W

You using the term reckless probably wasn't the smartest thing, Mr DWI crash and fleeing the scene.

Drunk driving dude, lecture us some more on recklessness.

I thought reckless applied to your driving or lying about your driving. https://t.co/ber00fvlLh

Reckless like getting drunk, then into a wreck and fleeing the scene? And then lying about it? That kinda reckless? I’m still trying to figure out what rock you climbed out from under. #VoteRedToSaveAmerica2018

Word of advice: I wouldn't use the word "recklessly" if I were you. Might remind people of how you left the scene of a crime after crashing your car while driving drunk. Take the advice or leave it….just like you left the scene of a crime.

Why is no one talking about your recklessness when you left the scene of an accident and a DUI?

Gotta hand it to Beto O’Rouke — he’s certainly not wreckless.
