As Twitchy reported earlier, Politico ran a piece on the DNC’s secret war room and what’s been going on inside to “prevent a Russia-2016 sequel.” It’s an extensive article, but Politico’s Ryan Lizza highlighted a minor bit on candidate Robert Francis O’Rourke being altered to the fact that he’s been hit with “Beto is a furry” memes on social media.
If you want to learn about the inside workings of a secret DNC war room that, among other things, recently alerted Beto’s campaign to a plot to “dogpile” a candidate thread with “Beto is a Furry” memes, then I have just the piece for you:https://t.co/k39eXrXnZh

After the September debate, DNC Tech sent out a summary of suspicious activity it spotted by monitoring Twitter. The party found that a Twitter thread by Beto O’Rourke was the target of “dogpiling,” the technical term for when trolls coordinate on one thread to dominate the candidate’s mentions. The Beto dogpile concerned a popular meme that says Beto is a furry.
Did someone mention dogpiling on Beto? It’s been a while since that was done properly, but the Politico piece was inspirational.

The thing you have to understand about Beto, and really this is key to all of 2020, is that he in fact is a furry.

Will O’Rourke blame dogpiling for his coming nowhere near the Democratic nomination?
