Beto O’Rourke: If We Fail in Texas, We’ll Have a Dictatorship and a Trump Third Term

EXCERPT:

O’ROURKE: “You know, if we fail, the consolidation of authoritarian power in America will be nearly unstoppable. That means more masks, plainclothes, federal agents without badges or warrants sweeping our fellow Americans up off the streets. It means more retribution and persecution and even violence for Trump's political opponents. And it also means that a Republican majority Congress with these five stolen seats, if we allow them to succeed, will roll out the royal red carpet for a Trump third term. So this is literally for all the marbles and it comes down to what is happening in Texas right now. So wherever you live around the country, you have a vested interest in these 56 Texas Democrats succeeding right now. So we need your help. Please text ‘FIGHT’ to 20377 and let's have their backs.”
