Conservative group Empower Texans has taken a swipe at Democratic US Senate Candidate Beto O'Rourke after he earned the endorsement of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The free-market focused non-profit clearly hopes to stir Republicans to action in November and help incumbent Ted Cruz by highlighting what it no doubt sees as a damaging endorsement by the California Democrat, a liberal lightning rod whom the group calls "the least popular lawmaker in America."
Under a scary, black-and-white photo of Pelosi, the group's Capitol Bureau Chief, Brandon Waltens, wrote on its website:
"Earlier this week Democrat House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi descended upon the Lone Star State to raise money and support for Democrats running for Congress, who, if enough of them win, allow for her to retake the position of Speaker of the House.
While campaigning for Veronica Escobar, the Democrat nominee and likely heir to the congressional seat currently held by US Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, Pelosi praised O’Rourke for his position on immigration, reportedly telling the crowd she was, “very excited about the leadership that Beto O’Rourke has brought to [immigration issues] and what hopefully he will bring to the Senate.”
The top of the ticket for Texas Democrats, O’Rourke is running against Sen. Ted Cruz in a race that has received attention and fawning from progressive activists and liberal media nationwide.
As President Donald Trump has pointed out in recent weeks, Pelosi’s position on immigration is weak, to say the least, with Trump calling Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues out on their dream for open borders."
