Piers Morgan calls Beto O'Rourke "the white version of Obama," slams his "uniquely depressive" campaign message
British journalist Piers Morgan slammed Beto O'Rourke on Thursday after the Texan announced his Democratic Party candidacy for the 2020 presidential polls, calling him a "deluded loser."
Citing O'Rourke's 2018 Texas Senate loss to Ted Cruz, Morgan said that he lost the polls during the midterm elections and that even though he lost by a small margin "he still lost."
"And in the brutal world of US politics that usually means the last anyone hears from you for the rest of your natural life," the 'Good Morning Britain' host said.
The Good Morning Britain host, in an article on the Daily Mail, said that although the Texan announced his candidacy despite his loss, he did so "in rather unconventional fashion – by announcing the end of the world is fast upon us. As US presidential campaign messages go, it at least had the benefit of being uniquely depressing."
