Beto O'Rourke responds to Ted Cruz attack on 'mom's tax fraud,' says he's proud of his mom

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign on Wednesday called Beto O'Rourke a hypocrite for advocating for changes in sales tax policies, saying he did so while failing to mention an 8-year-old federal court settlement involving his mother's furniture store in El Paso.

In a press release, Cruz's campaign accused O'Rourke of concealing a "family history of breaking tax laws while running a furniture store in El Paso.

O'Rourke said the case involving his mother's furniture store has long been resolved. He said he has not concealed anything related to the case, which received extensive media coverage when it was settled in 2010.

"That store made a mistake and the issue was resolved," he said.

The store, Charlotte's Furniture, was accused of manipulating financial records in the early 2000s. It was charged as a corporate entity and pleaded guilty in 2010, agreeing to pay a $250,000 fine.

4. "I was okay with Trump calling my father an assassin..."

"So who could object to me calling their mom names?"

Cruz is a real lickspittle, in his case, accent on the "spittle".

5. Beto should respond...

Why aren't you talking about the tax scam and the millions he voted to prevent them from having health care, while giving millionaires and billionaires billions from taking it from the people of Texas instead. Or will he vote to destroy Social Security like they're already voted on to do to Medicaid, and Medicare. Or why is he saying or doing nothing to protect these children now becoming brutally treated by immigration policies he's behind, and not called for DACA kids passage to make them legal here? His mothers business issues are no more a problem , or his issues. Cruz is silent saying nothing about all the corruption going on from this administration, nothing. Funny how he tries to attack others when he's the most hated person in all of Congress, even from his own party. Cruz needs to go.
