O’Rourke’s claim didn’t convince the fact checkers at the Washington Post:

The WaPo gave O’Rourke’s spin on the arrest the maximum four Pinocchios.

"O’Rourke could have dodged the question…or…said his memory is not clear… Instead, he chose to dispute the factual record. We also believe in second chances and O’Rourke should revise his answer if given another opportunity. In the meantime, he earns Four Pinocchios." https://t.co/4AePtfJGUp

BRUTAL.

Beto, even as an adult,, can't take responsibility. https://t.co/ClnliWxc8r
