O’Rourke announces bid to take on Greg Abbott in 2022 Texas gubernatorial race

CNN–Beto O’Rourke, the former congressman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, on Monday launched his campaign to unseat Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in 2022.

“I’m running for governor,” he tweeted alongside a video announcement. “Together, we can push past the small and divisive politics that we see in Texas today — and get back to the big, bold vision that used to define Texas. A Texas big enough for all of us.”

In launching a campaign that many Democrats in Texas had identified as the party’s only chance of denying Abbott a third term, O’Rourke — an El Paso native and former punk rocker who launched an internet services company and served on the city council before being elected to Congress in 2011 — is making his third run for office in four years.

Beto O’Rourke: ‘Hell yes, we are going to take your AR-15’…Not gonna happen, Beto. Not now, not ever.

Inside Brian Williams’ scandals including Iraq helicopter crash lie as anchor QUITS gig at MSNBC and NBC after 28 years

In 2015, Williams was suspended by NBC for six months without pay, and replaced by Lester Holt, for the Iraq helicopter crash story.

The scandal erupted when Williams claimed that a helicopter he was on during the Iraq War had been hit by enemy fire and forced down.

It emerged that it wasn’t the first time Williams had embellished a story.

He was also accused of making up a story about seeing a body floating in front of his hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.

It was claimed by an official speaking to The New Orleans Advocate, that that the Quarter was mostly dry at the time.
