Beto O'Rourke: Biden Is Displaying 'Compassion And Empathy' To Immigrants | The Last Word | MSNBC
I love Beto! Hope he can be elected senator of Texas!
@angus the cat oh sweet, thanks for saying he has a 100% chance. I really agree with that sentiment. Biden and Beto are both just great guys, and it’s cool to see you think the same way
@Emma7846 sarcasm is not your forte.
@Emma7846 l agree with you completely. Best to ignore the ignorant trolls, they are a complete waste of time.
Beto and Biden are true leaders ✌
@Madeline Menor
Sorry, TX and the rest of the red states will secede the union.. hope that will make liberals finally happy
@angus the cat Ratio’d
Be to,👍👍💙😷

I agree.
Compassion and empathy are things average Americans lack.
Bite Me.
@Woody I have an idea. Let’s require a social media post review for anyone who wants to legally own a gun.
Eh, we have too much compassion and empathy. The rest of the world eats our lunch and we’re over here even unable to maintain our borders.
@Canta Gadelica i feel the reason the rest of the world eats our lunch is because our leaders have not evolved with the rest of the planet. Stuck on what worked for them 50 years ago isn’t working anymore. The rest of the world looks at the US like a bunch of ignorant idiots, just like woody here seems to represent.
Great. Compassion and empathy. Who’s going to pay for it?
Sorry, TX and the rest of the red states will secede the union.. hope that will make liberals finally happy
It’s all about the money ….American greed
That’s why there’s 4000 children in a 200 capacity shelter right now and why Biden issued a gag order for the Texas border visit imposed on news press. He definitely cares. 🤡🤡

I feel like I’m sitting in on an AA meeting listening to these two. They’re not a good representation of the Irish.
But political solutions are impossible when the Senate filibusters EVERYTHING.
How about a 55% population-based cloture rule?
Turns out the Dems represent 55% of the voters.
Presto chango. No more filibuster.
#StopTheBlockheads
It’s not the US’ job to fix the social problems of other countries, especially when we can’t even resolve our own. Go for it, have empathy and compassion for them, but at the end of the day, the result must be the same as now. Deport and deny crossings, anything less is an injustice towards the US citizen, immigrant and native born.
No it’s their job to send troops to destroy other countries
I get it…The law doesn’t matter to Democrats. It’s really all about compassion and touchy-feely stuff.
Gaslighting
No no dummies
We can be compassionate and empathetic by not mistreating people who came here *illegally* while they’re awaiting return to their country. There are hundreds of thousands of homeless, underfed, undereducated Americans. Let’s get that taken care of before we add to the vast underclass of poor. We don’t have to be cruel, but we don’t have to take all comers, either. No other country does.
Joe’s an empty vessel
Biden is a president, who cares for all people, no matter of color. All Americans take notice. Those who don,t may God change your minds.
