Beto O’Rourke Unleashes on Pete Buttigieg, Accuses Him of ‘Poll Testing and Focus Group-Driving’ His Position on Guns

O'ROURKE: "What Pete has been saying is that a mandatory buyback is a shiny object, it's distracting us. How in the world can you say that to March for Our Lives, how can you say that to survivors of mass shootings across this country? How can you say that to the majority of Hispanics in America, certainly in Texas, who feel they'll be the victims of a mass shooting inspired by racism and hatred that's been welcomes into the open by this president and it's been armed by weapons of war? So I was really offended by those comments. I think he represents a kind of politics that is focused on poll-testing and focus group-driving and triangulating and listening to consultants before you arrive at a position. I think our politics has to be about doing the right thing, saying the right thing.”
