(O'Rourke is currently polling between 1% and 3% according to ‘Real Clear Politics’ 9/4/19)

I’m sure you’ve heard, but Beto O’Rourke has been cursing more lately, as he refocuses his campaign on guns, climate change, and immigration. “This is fucked up,” he’s said of gun violence. “Members of the press, what the fuck?” he’s asked.

The situation has produced recent headlines like, “Will the F-bomb save Beto O’Rourke?” and “Beto and the Profanity Gap” (linguist John McWhorter).

Currently, his campaign is selling gun control T-shirts, whose proceeds go toward gun control groups. These T-shirts read:
THIS IS F*CKED UPTHIS IS F*CKED UPTHIS IS F*CKED UPTHIS IS F*CKED UPTHIS IS F*CKED UPTHIS IS F*CKED UPEnd gun violence now.

On Friday morning, the campaign sent a fundraising email:
With all of this going on, how can you not be outraged? How can you not turn on the news, see all of this, and think “What the Fuck?” But we know that outrage alone doesn’t fix things. That’s why, while Beto will always call out wrongdoing, he’ll also always match it with a positive vision for making things right.
