'Like ... yikes'! Beto O'Rourke oozes 'zero substance' in painful new WaPo interview

Before Beto O’Rourke sits down with Oprah next month for what’s sure to be a hard-hitting interview, he got a practice run with the Washington Post.

It … did not go well.

I spent two hours touring the border with Beto O’Rourke, who wants Americans to see the border as it really is. When it comes to immigration policy and changing the way things are, he has few solutions — and would rather debate and discuss the topic. https://t.co/tCShjBWuOo

So what should be done to address visa overstays?

Well, at least he’s honest.

Beto might have to figure out what he thinks about Syria before the first debate pic.twitter.com/1UioBUAVfd

Oof.

Good story from @wpjenna on Beto.

This last bit – where he suggests we might need to ditch the Constitution? – is wild.https://t.co/E31VeDvz8s pic.twitter.com/sBxF734Fxg

Guess all Betos are off!

This is subtly brutal.

“O’Rourke doesn’t yet know the answer, but he’s ready to discuss it.” https://t.co/TmZ3BRr13E

Democrats should definitely unite behind this guy.

This is the essence of Beto O’Rourke — zero substance https://t.co/7Og5vaqbvx
