Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke believes the United States was founded on racism and is still racist today.
Our country was founded on racism—and is still racist today. In Arkansas, I said why I believe there’s no denying this reality; and why it’s on all of us to change it. pic.twitter.com/cHLKmCMGEB

This reaffirms his implication last week on CNN that he believes all Trump voters are racist.
Drop out, dude: Looks like Robert Francis O’Rourke’s strategy to break two percent is calling all Trump voters racist https://t.co/4ayukm0cEq

A statement that was backed up by another presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg, on Sunday.

They constantly fail to see the conundrum of their reckless words: If everything is considered racist, then how can actual racism be identified?
How can this message fail? https://t.co/vRCITpxpVE

There must be a memo circulating among Democrat candidates saying that in order to win the election, they must call into question the character of every American who’s ever lived.
Heading into 2020 and the Democratic platform is unabashedly, "Vote for us or you're racist." https://t.co/D7780y3W8b

“You’re the worst, and so were your forefathers!” Is not typically a winning message. https://t.co/QwvC7WuxNG

By what right does Mr. O’Rourke (or any Democrat running for president in 2019) dare assert that the United States was founded upon racism?
And I thought it had something to do with “all men are created equal”, endowed with certain unalienable rights, including “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” https://t.co/prUtNQ4XwQ
