Would you like to interview @BetoORourke?
So this is what it sounds like when a politician has taken time to consider, assess and understand why NFL players have chosen to protest police brutality. This is what happens when you don’t grandstand, or use NFL players as bait for the intolerant. Some call this leadership.https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1032017750829531142 …

The amount of cognitive dissonance it takes to tell someone to “stick to sports” when we literally have a reality tv star for president is truly mind boggling. Critical thinking really is a skill that needs to be taught at an early age.
-
Especially if they have no problem with Trump talking about sports.
-
I’d prefer it if Trump stuck to talking about sports and get the hell out of politics, but that’s just my opinion. Having said that, his sports chat is normally having a pop at Football players taking a knee, so maybe he can just not talk about anything? Is that an option?
-
Lol. Can we tell him to shut up and dribble?
-
Telling someone to stick to sports is especially funny here because this is a sports topic, so in essence, she did.

Because he agrees with you? You’re tired.
-
No. It’s because he took the time, care and nuance to actually try to understand the issue. Imagine that, in 2018

@jemelehill Thank you for sharing this video of@BetoORourke! Your platform gives more of 'us' the opportunity to see and hear him speak on the divisive topic of police brutality that impacts 'our' lives!

@BetoORourke opened many eyes and minds to who truly is with this passionate answer. After he wins in November, his name might be mentioned more for a future WH run. Like Obama, after his first DNC speech! -
We have a LOT of work for him to do right here in Texas
-
True!

I slid him a few dollars just for having the courage to speak this truth in a crowd with seemingly few minorities. I'm now a fan.
-
Texas thanks you sir!
-
This is great but I hope that's not all it takes!?
-
vs. Ted Cruz??? Yeah, that's all it took.
-
you’re not wrong but this is just one part of Beto’s platform. He’s discussed the school to prison pipeline, teacher pay, gun control, healthcare and a bunch of other issues with this exact same passion and thoughtfulness. -
Do you know where I can get the full speech?
-
This was at a town hall. He goes live on his Facebook page for all of them so without knowing what city this was in I can’t find it. He’s currently on a road trip through Texas with multiple town halls per day so you can hear more from him there and watch the previous videos.

Thank you
