His supporters know it, too.

“We are being attacked at all ends,” Amanda Elise Salas said as she introduced him here Wednesday night. “This is a Democratic area, and there is no way we are gonna let Republicans come in here and take over.”

1. K & R Thank you Beto. In every dark threat in history emerges a common man to lead the good people

Beto didn't have to step back into this role, yet here he is.
Sending Beto the very best as he leads the good people of Texas in this dire & threatening time.
There is a far better future for us all on the horizon.

5. As much as I like Beto the gun comment is going to sabotage his efforts in Texas

It will be on a loop 24/7 saying he wants to take your guns in Texas.

And Tex ass is Tex ass.
