As we told you on Saturday, failing presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke was roundly mocked for this tweet on “weapons of war”:
In Arkansas, I listened to gun owners and sellers—and appreciated hearing their perspectives. But as the plan we released yesterday says, if I’m president, you wouldn’t be able to buy weapons of war for $395. You wouldn’t be able to buy them at all. pic.twitter.com/Pz8KuFq9Tt

But instead of taking the L and letting it go, the Texas Dem decided to mix it up with the NRA Twitter account after they joked about his standing in the polls:
“If I’m president…”
Beto: Have you taken a look at the polls? ? https://t.co/BfwRQdXVdd

Yeah. I've seen them. 70% of Americans support an assault weapons ban, including most Republicans. https://t.co/opWCyPfeI7 https://t.co/Eo8WiVb97p

And this: Why would we trust this polls when many people have no idea what they’re talking about?
A majority of people can’t even tell you what an “assault weapon” is and can’t define “semi-automatic.”
This gun control activist (who was fed talking points) wants to ban “fully semi-automatic” guns.
We are excited to see you lose once again. pic.twitter.com/7LzGhVn4Pd https://t.co/WCFfAcZ4Yu

Just drop out, Beto. It’s over.

What Beto O’Rourke apparently learned at a gun show: AR-15s cost ‘$395 for a lifetime’ meaning it’s ‘more affordable to kill than stay alive’ with insulin https://t.co/1r7gadYXRi
