aug 22 2022For nearly a week, the Washington Post reporter explains how she had a hard time following O'Rourke across the state to cover his events .
"For six days and 10 events, I chased Beto from west to east across the state — a sliver of this mostly rural tour that began in his hometown of El Paso last month and traces the perimeter of the state, including the border with Mexico, before ending near Dallas in September.
And when I say chased, I mean it. The man drives as if he’s a criminal trying to lose a tail, easily going 95 to 100 mph at times.
“If we want to create 30 minutes to eat lunch, we gotta drive fast,” he says, devouring a chocolate-dipped ice cream cone at a Dairy Queen. (A week after I left him, police pulled him over outside of Galveston and warned him to slow down.)"
O'Rourke, who was previously arrested for drunk driving, would do well to consider the safety of all Texans as he travels to events.
