Beto O'Rourke: Michael Avenatti 'Does Not Represent' Democrats

Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke doesn’t seem too keen on the tough-guy shtick adopted by some of his fellow Democrats.

In an interview with New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, O’Rourke took at shot at celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti, arguing that the attorney, who regularly battles President Donald Trump on Twitter, “does not represent” Democrats.

I support O'Rourke, Holder and Avenatti.

As opposed to some here who spend ALL their time trying to gin up division among Democrats.

Even Beto is doing it (he didn't use the word "crazy" but same message). Democrats campaigning in red states is a completely different animal than in a blue or even a purple state.
