Trop fun : quand le Parti Républicain essaie de décrédibiliser un candidat démocrate du Texas en expliquant qu’il était membre d’un groupe de punk... voilà que cela se retourne contre lui. ne série d’exemple de Tweets trop drôles.
The Texas Republican Party tried to shame Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke on Twitter for his unconventional past — but it hilariously backfired.
The 45-year-old O’Rourke played bass in the alternative band Foss, which released a pair of albums on Western Breed Records and toured the U.S. and Canada in the mid-1990s, and he has openly discussed his arrests on misdemeanor charges during that same period.
O’Rourke was charged in 1995 with burglary for jumping a fence at the University of Texas at El Paso and in 1998 with driving under the influence, but he was not convicted of either charge and has publicly addressed his arrests when asked.
