Some Tweets from Beto O'Rourke


  • Thank you, James! In Iowa and across the country, our campaign is only possible because of people like you.
  • This is a moment of truth for our country—the cruelty of kids in cages, the open racism of “send them back,” the unchecked tyranny of a lawless president. We have to all stand up to be counted right now, and we have to stand together to defeat this bully.

  • In his words and in his actions, Trump has been the most openly racist president we’ve had in modern history. He is trying to change the very character of America. But we won't let him. We are so much better than this intolerance and hatred—and together, we're going to prove it.
  • Deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision. I’ve long opposed building walls, and while in Congress, I introduced language to prevent DOD funds from being used to plan or build a wall along our border. As President, I would do everything in my power to make that law.
  • We don't need more walls. They don't make us more safe.
  • Hope you enjoy one of the safest cities in America—safe not in spite of the fact that we’re a city of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, but because we’re a city of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.
  • Earlier this year, I unveiled a plan that not only reverses the transgender troop ban but protects LGBTQ+ rights and finally secures comprehensive legal protection for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Read it here:
  • Two years ago today, Trump turned his back on transgender service members across the country and stationed around the world. I will repeal his discriminatory and hateful transgender troop ban and replace it with the Equality Act to ensure full civil rights for LGBTQ+ Americans.
  • The ADA is a landmark law—but recently, it has been under attack. 29 years after its passage, let's build a country where Americans with disabilities have full access to education, opportunity, and the workforce, are treated with dignity, and can live to their full potential.

  • On , let's follow the lead of & to mandate background checks, ban the sale of weapons of war, and invest $50 million to help the CDC combat this public health crisis. That's a small price to pay to finally end this epidemic.
