Beto O'Rourke left the campaign trail to go home to El Paso, where his gifts for empathy were very much on display
has been the politician most eloquent in confronting it. He left the campaign trail to go home to El Paso, where his gifts for empathy, and for focusing public emotion, were very much on display. He ripped Trump for his racism, of course, but Trump wasn't the only one he ripped. When asked by a reporter if there was “anything in your mind that the president can do now to make this any better,” O’Rourke stepped through the fourth wall between politicians and reporters.
The El Paso shooter, who killed 21and wounded several others at a Wal-Mart, echoed Trump’s language about Hispanic migrants in a racist manifesto published before the anti-immigrant attack.
These clear-eyed denunciation of Trumpism and the institutions that have struggled to adequately respond to the president recall the Beto of last year, the political meteor that came within inches of taking down conservative Texas Sen.. Some observers think it could reanimate his thus-far disappointing presidential campaign.
