The "joke" is two-fold:1) Beto O'Rourke was arrested for drunk driving in 1998. 2) While O'Rourke goes by "Beto" and many people think he is Hispanic, his full name is Robert Francis O'Rourke and he is Irish (and Welsh). This St. Patrick's Day tweet by the RNC is more of the same. The elites love to make fun of other people but when their precious Beto is attacked look what happens! If everything can be lumped under the umbrella of "owning the liberal PC squares" than the ideas of tolerance, respect for differing views and a recognition of our common humanity all go out the window.
