Beto O'Rourke at Rally Against Redistricting: "F-- The Rules, We're Going To Win Whatever It Takes [View all]

BETO O'ROURKE: We're not going to let him stop us -- are you with me on that?

It also means... we don't await the punch thrown by these would-be fascists to land, we punch first and we punch harder. We want California and New Jersey and Illinois and Maryland and every other state where the Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the assembly, and the Senate to redraw their congressional districts now. Not wait for Texas to go first. To maximize Democratic Party advantage.

Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those aren't the rules. There are no refs in this game, f--k the rules, we are going to win whatever it takes. We're going to take this to them in every way that we can!

There is no coming back from fascism. If our politicians are not willing to fight, screw them.
