And by “purpose” they, of course, mean O’Rourke’s promises to confiscate certain kinds of guns via “mandatory buyback” in the extremely unlikely event he’s elected president. But there are other purposes:
To see how many times a politician can publicly drop F bombs before their career ends?

to give cover to all of the hacks who compared him to RFK when he ran against Cruz?

So far O’Rourke’s promises of gun confiscation combined with F-bombs don’t seem to be propelling him to the top tier of Democrats.
Don’t think his anger and taking guns away will get very many votes, even if MSM loves it…..
