Yes, it is true. Beto has endorsed himself. What we mean is that Beto O’Rourke has endorsed Renard Johnson, whom we previously identified as the New Beto.

Both politicians wear neatly pressed button-down shirts and roll up their sleeves.

Both try to charm us with the same noxious alligator smile.

Both are Escobar Democrats, who pretend to be progressive while harvesting megabucks from wealthy Republicans.

Both promise the world but can deliver nothing, except for corporate welfare for their moneyed campaign contributors.

And both know how to amass a fortune in campaign contributions but lose anyway.

Here is the message that was texted today to thousands of El Paso cellphones: “Hi, it’s Beto O’Rourke. I wanted to share my endorsement of Renard Johnson for Mayor of El Paso. I know Renard will do everything it takes to move our city forward and build a more vibrant El Paso. He focused on the right things: Infrastructure, fiscal accountability, & opportunity. It’s El Paso’s time for new leadership at City Hall. Learn more about his platform here: http://www.RenardFor915.com. Can I count on you to vote for Renard this November? Text STOP to quit.”

Yes, Renard will “move our City forward” if he wins, into insolvency and Chapter 9 bankruptcy, while the big developers and their bankers and attorneys stuff their offshore bank accounts with our tax money.

Vote for Brian Kennedy!
