'Projecting again'? Beto O'Rourke takes a jab at Gov. Abbott's notice that Texas is opening 'safe, smart and strong' and accidentally knocks himself out

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is getting his state back up and running, and last night he tweeted out a video explaining how it’s being done:

Texas is Opening Safe, Smart, and Strong.#txlegehttps://t.co/qj6Ijt6VyQ via @YouTube

Remember Beto O’Rourke, the former U.S. Senate and presidential candidate who was feted by Dems and the media like a rock star but never even managed to achieve roadie status? Beto fired back at the Texas governor this way:

Dangerous, dumb and weak. https://t.co/dJMTRh6KIV

Maybe you should run for Governor? That would be a completely new race for you to lose!

LOL. But we’re sure he’d have Alyssa Milano’s endorsement… again.
