Beto’s lying again – doesn’t seem to know how to keep his lies straight.

In the wake of their debate – which drew a clear contrast between Ted Cruz and liberal Beto O’Rourke — The New York Times (!!) called Beto out for falsely denying that he called police officers “the new Jim Crow.”

Here’s what the NYT reported:

In one of the sharpest exchanges of the night, Mr. Cruz argued that Mr. O’Rourke often sided against the police, and accused the congressman of describing law enforcement officers as “modern day Jim Crow.” Mr. Cruz added, “I think it is offensive to call police officers modern day Jim Crow. That is not Texas.”

Mr. O’Rourke denied that he described police officers that way. But on Wednesday, at a town hall event at Prairie View A&M University, a historically black college in Prairie View, Texas, Mr. O’Rourke had complained about racism within the criminal justice system, including racial profiling and unjust police shootings of people of color.

According to a video clip of part of his speech, Mr. O’Rourke referred to a system in which police officers suspect, search and shoot people “solely based on the color of their skin,” and added, “It is why some have called this, and I think it is an apt description, the new Jim Crow.”

If you agree that this attack on our brave men and women who put on the uniform to protect our communities is unacceptable, then help DEFEAT Beto O’Rourke on November 6th!
