Robert O’Rourke, the fake Latino Beto was the media darling after he did better than expected in the Texas Senate race. Then the media tried to latch on to O’Rourke’s butt when he announced he was running for president. But “Beto” and his campaign are basically toast. Two advisers have already jumped the sinking ship that is the fake Latino and Alfred E. Neuman, aka Pete Buttigieg becomes the latest media darling. Time for DUI Beto to skateboard out of the campaign. He’s done, finished, toast.

Two aides to former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) have reportedly departed his 2020 presidential campaign, an O’Rourke spokesperson told BuzzFeed News on Saturday.
Becky Bond, a top adviser to O’Rourke, and her deputy, Zack Malitz, have both left the campaign. The two worked on O’Rourke’s competitive 2018 Texas Senate bid against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Chris Evans, a spokesman for O’Rourke, said Bond and Malitz were staffers on a “temporary” basis and didn’t respond to questions about the reasons they left the campaign, BuzzFeed News reported.
Bond told BuzzFeed News in a statement that it was “time for us to move on to other challenges.”
“Launching a presidential campaign without a big staff or even a campaign manager was no easy feat and it took everyone pitching in. We’re proud to have been part of the team of deeply dedicated staff and volunteers who nearly pulled off a historic upset in the 2018 Texas Senate race and broke records launching Beto’s campaign for the presidency,” Bond added.
